Introduction
We all know the story of Archimedes, the inventor. Archimedes was a wise man greek empire during his time. Got a problem solved by the king. The crown of the king, which was adopted, are in fact made of pure gold mixed with silver, small, and the king wanted to find out if this was indeed the crown of gold, silver diluted. But it did not burn down, which is the only method was known in those days not to determine whetherMetal was used pure. Archimedes was now out with this challenge, as if this was the crown of gold with silver, without burning down mixed consumed. He was totally focused on the problem. Day and night had drawn up the challenge in his mind. Overall concentrate! And then we know that he was in his bathtub one morning, which was filled with water, spilled water from its weight. At that time he also discussed the challenge before him, and the answer came to him! WeighedQuantity of gold contained in the crown with the same amount of gold bars to be integrated into the vessel filled with water, the water should spill from the bars of pure gold, the same amount of water poured by the Crown. Eureka! Had, and ran naked to the king. The heart of the matter is, you get what you focus in life. And this is what we learn from today's passage in the Bible, a story that relates to happen during the Christmas period. From this point, weStudy are some principles that can lead us to success in life.
In the passage was read to us. We have a history of Jesus, the Son of God was born in Bethlehem, there were some foreigners who have to know that they are wise to the east (can that even from India), some scholars associate with Persia. They came all the way to travel from their country, probably the camel back to Palestine to see this wonderful gift of God which was given toWorld. It can be obtained after an exhausting search and Adoration of the Child with gifts presented to him and then return home.
The coming of the Son of God in this world was not such a big event in this period. God promised a Messiah of the Jewish people, who knew the Bible, who had the idea of the Messiah, the Son of God born in Bethlehem (2:5, 6). But beyond them, the whole world was in this wonderful event happened in their midst is not known. Was unusualsome essays that have come from nowhere mentioned in the Bible to know about this event, to worship Jesus As we learned of the event? The body tells us in (2.2), which showed the star to the birth of Jesus has been seen in the world. The wise men were astrologers studied the stars, and his whole life has been focused on the study of stars and their importance for humanity. They say: "We have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him." Nowwhen a new star appears in the sky, can see the whole world. But why does it happen only in this way, so you notice? Why do people have the stars? The answer is that the essays were on the study of stars, while others have not been concentrated. So he came to them, that have made this unusual star announces the arrival of the Messiah could.
This is where we learn our first lesson. You can get in life what you focus on. Just as we have seen that Archimedes was so consumed, orfocused on the challenge is to get its response, while in the bathtub. So the wise men, because they might include a study of the stars, that God was doing a great thing, and they came to see and worship the Christ-child focused. I ask you now, what is that you focused in life, my friends? The answer to this question is, if you are moving to. Those who know the machine, you must look ahead, to go. Do not look back and go forward.Where is your goal, which is where you head. And then I ask you, with a focus on noble things in life? "A focus on things pretty well with the series of success in life? Many times we miss that. We concentrate on the important things in life or even the wrong things and will end in the wrong place with bugs and stared at our faces. Some focus on frivolous things that give joy to their ephemeral. Now an example of how young people, if weCollege, our friends at the bar and have fun. We focus on the link to frivolous pleasure and fun, for the time and lose most important classes that can help us reach and our lives if we want.
This example comes from the academic world, but not limited to it. It can happen in any sector, as this principle is universal, you get what you focus on it. Other students to do something great in the academic world, he focused not beat the temptation tomiss his class, he respected his studies and exams, and comes with flying colors in her life. Imagine all the successful people in the world and will tell you that they are successful because they were focused on the right things. The story of the Magi told us to set the right priorities, to understand that we focus on the right things in life and then we will achieve our goal to succeed. Bill Gates has been challenge to make the concentration toComputer, efficient and easy to use, its use is not restricted to laboratories and offices, but also to every house, and he came up with Microsoft software. Saina Nehwal, the women's badminton champion was among the top ten in the world come true until the end of 2008 and focused his dream in the first week of December 2008 with four weeks still to go. The essays focused investigations of stars, have got to see the new star announces the coming of Jesus, and thencould reach this opportunities to worship him.
The second thing is that we learn from the lives of ways, so that when they see the stars, the new and unusual, and she was the birth of the Messiah, they began immediately in the direction of the star. In (2.1), we see that they have traveled from their homeland in the East to Bethlehem, and they wanted the king of the Jews. In (also V7) the head in the palace of the king, in this time of HerodGreat ruled Palestine under the Roman Empire. The wise men probably thought that being born of the king's palace where the king of the Jews or the Son of God, but I find that there is. But they continue their quest to see again, and the star that guides them now on the place where the baby Jesus. The second principle of success that we get to learn from this is that to succeed, we must be willing to go the extra mile. In other words, we must be willing to undertakeEfforts to our goals to succeed. Most people do not have to if you want to achieve, focus, and therefore are not willing to take the extra effort to achieve or succeed. But to be effective, should be willing to go the extra mile, you should be so consumed with the desire to succeed, that the efforts and hard work that gives no pain, but the joy of knowing that their fate leads you. Must have been difficult for days, months of travelAssign a vision of Jesus' was discouraging that they did not find him in Jerusalem, the capital or even in the palace of Herod. But then have not given their research in the face of these difficulties. There is a Russian proverb, the glass shattered hammer, but forges steel. Often there are successful because they are not consumed by our goals, we have no desire to go beyond the issues, hard times and efforts for them. All men dreamto achieve something in life, but then, why? The reason is that their desires are made of glass and in front of the hammer to shake it. Do you really want, by all successful people who want to be, proceed to grind. It 'possible that there are some ways to see the road to the stars in the East, but it was in the middle and then some of them have achieved, we read in the Bible. The essays in which we are really reading, at this point, in the sense thatThey focused on the right thing in life and then took to make the necessary efforts to achieve their goals. Go the extra mile, and the completion of the task is an important prerequisite for the successful formula. This is a real event of an Olympic runner, was running at an event and still had four laps of the completer stadium when the race was over, as the lead runners to come, but not to give up the first runner he received no first three numbers, stopped and run onthe last round of the entire stadium applauded him standing on their feet. Why? Not because he won, but finished the race. Friends, has never "come out winners and Quitters never win." When the Magi had their search for the Messiah to be born, we would not have heard today. If Bill Gates would not have come together for hours trudging along with the software from Microsoft, we would not have the computer in every home. When Saina Nehwal are not passed through thegrind rise early and practice and the exercise of them have not received in the world top ten at the European Badminton Championships for women. The second point that we learn from the life of the essay is that we are ready to go the extra mile to achieve our goals. Persistence pays. Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive seek and find and knock and the door will be opened for you." (Matthew 7: 7) He said to go the extra mile to get what you want. Please God inPrayer is one thing, but then you should focus (research) and knock on him to act (to go the extra mile) and then you get what you want. A king called his advisers and asked them to write the wisdom of age, so they can pass on to future generations. After several months of work, which came with large volumes. The king told them to condense it so that it is easy to read, went to work for a long time with only one band, but still wanted to shorten the king, sheit came with a chapter and meet the king, and finally came with a brief statement that contained the wisdom of age will be handed down, was: "There is no free lunch" Friends will is not enough, you should be willing to make efforts to take and go the extra mile.
From the Life of wise friends, we learned that we should focus on the right things in life, we must be willing to go the extra mile and now the third and final point. AfterWise had found their goal of reaching the baby Jesus, we read that they are happy, and praying the baby and then present him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. It 'surprising to read the whole Bible, remember that there are many, we are for giving gifts to Jesus One name I remember is Mary, the true nard and expensive perfume applied to the feet of Jesus (Jn 12, 3 ). What we learn from this act of giving gifts to the Messiah? Friends, if we, asObjectives and if we are successful in achieving the things we want, we must be willing to give back to others. We must contribute to society around us. We must help our blessings parties, others, to motivate and lead them on the path to success. Pope John Paul II said: "Nobody is so poor that they have nothing to give … and no one is so rich that have nothing." Friends, we are all here in this world for a religious purpose and that can help you in life isother. E 'was interesting to read that the king was given the gift of the entire universe from the essay. I ask you, are you ready to give himself for the good of society? Mumbai, when he was attacked, praised the efforts of police and commandos who have given their lives to save lives. On the contrary, many people are angry with the politicians of this country who are not known for generosity, but selfishness. The essays are not intelligent people, but alsogenerous people as you can see by their actions of gifts to baby Jesus. In this world, people have the opportunity to live and after they are dead and buried. How to be immortal in the memory of people in the world? E 'when you dedicate your life to improve for the noble cause to give to others, contributing to the lives of others. Today we remember the great leaders like Gandhi, Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose for these people gave their lives for the welfare of ourNation. You are always in the minds of the people of our nation because of lack of interest that are engraved. Remember, the quality of your life down the quality of your contribution. Friends, look at nature, we all love them. Why?
Due to the time that started this world, nature is always on duty to give. Take the example of a country, if you will, to plant seeds of the country, the country does not eat the seeds, but give a plant orlarge tree, the tree, what to do? Living for themselves? No, it is with a cool shade under the hot sun and provide fresh fruit to satisfy your appetite. There is a Chinese proverb says: 'A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses. " If you work and contribute to improving the lives of others, indirectly, enhance their lives in the process. Yes, it is when we give, we receive in return for more. We celebrate the birth of Christ, ChristmasFor this reason, God has his Son for sinful humanity. We have a God who is. Jesus gave his life for the sins of all mankind, we have the Son of God, which is given to us. If we believe in him, God gives us the right to her children, all our sins are washed away, and we are counted righteous and blessed! For the friends who came third and last, what we should learn from the life of the test, to see the baby Jesus is that we are willing to give,unselfishly, we contribute to society and people.
Christmas is a time of joy and blessing of God for all mankind. It is fortunate that today we have learned some principles of life's most important and successful content on the history of the essay. We have learned that we have focused on noble things in life that will lead us, should focus the ladder of success, we learned that we are willing to go the extra mile and not give up, for the purpose in our lives and we have establishedhave learned that if we have things we want to achieve, we contribute to human welfare. In the verses of this body shall be terminated on the ways in which it is said that he went to his country in another way because they wanted to be an angel warned against a return to Herod to kill Jesus Christ. Friends, if you want to succeed need to learn, there is the old road that leads to bankruptcy and the mediocre life. God wants the best and youshould be the principles that we learned and apply to take in your life. You should take the path of success, took the wise. If you do this, and the application of the principles that you will not get big. They must be ready to follow the new road. God you all a great joy and success this Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Amen.
