“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” — Abraham Lincoln “Discipline is the riverbank that channels our focus and energy, allowing us to flow toward Enduring Impact. Without it, distractions flood our path and dilute our purpose.” — Lee Brower “We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” — Jim Rohn “True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.” — Mortimer J.

Would you like to receive a daily, random quote by email from my Little Box of Quotes? https://constantine.name/lboq A long long time ago I began collecting inspirational quotes and aphorisms. I kept them on the first version of my web site, where they were displayed randomly. But as time went on, I realized I wanted them where I would see them. Eventually I copied the fledgeling collection onto 3×5 cards and put them in a small box. As I find new ones, I add cards. Today, there are more than 1,000 quotes and the collection continues to grow. Hello, I'm Craig Constantine

I rarely just play on this podcast, but that's how I'd like to package this little present for my listeners. Rather than spending days researching and writing, today I will play four fugues and introduce them only briefly. It's some twenty minutes of music I hope you can enjoy during your holidays. The quote I read to introduce this short concert is by Mortimer J. Adler.Bach wrote this music before 1717 (at the latest.) These are fugues whose themes originated in the work of other composers. Bach borrows these themes and creates his own work. These fugues are not commonly played which make them all the more fun to listen to and study.As always, thanks for listening, thanks for spreading the word and supporting this podcast. I'm looking forward to 2025 with you Bach enthusiasts.Fugues I performed:Fugue in C major, BWV 966 (on a theme by Adam Reinken)Fugue in C major, BWV 946 (on a theme by Tomaso Albinoni)Fugue in a minor, BWV 965 (on a theme by Adam Reinken)Fugue in A major, BWV 949 (probably on a theme by Tomaso Albinoni)Support us:https://www.paypal.me/wtfbachhttps://venmo.com/wtfbachhttps://cash.app/$wtfbachWrite us:bach (at) wtfbach (dot) com Get full access to WTF Bach at wtfbach.substack.com/subscribe

Length: 1 hour 31 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/30/23), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up the very last mishnah in Chapter 3.

Aristotle for everybody difficult thought made easy by Mortimer J. Adler.

It's nice, if a bit intimidating, to be in the room with people smarter and better read than you. That's how I felt in this week's conversation with Phillip Martin and Brent Moody.We wrap up by discussing how to build a library. You may be surprised at some of the suggestions they make. Fewer books. Getting rid of Bible dictionaries and concordances. Nice words about the NIV. You're going to want pen and paper nearby for this one.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins is joined by Addison Bevere, COO of Messenger International and author of "Words with God: Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection". Their discussion covers diverse topics such as leadership, the importance of reading and learning from different sources, prayer, and the impact of the voice of the accuser in today's world. This episode emphasizes the significance of leadership grounded in faith and listening to God's voice. BEST QUOTES “So much of prayer invites us into a form of silence where we discover that the silence is actually a language of God's. And it's not a form of rejection. It's an invitation to a fresh way of engaging with God's voice and understanding how God has worked with us.” – Addison Bevere “Something about silence drives us to better understand God and our world and ourselves and how it all comes together.” – Addison Bevere “I thought that peace was having all the answers. I didn't realize that peace was being in tune with the one who is the answer.” – Addison Bevere “God doesn't deliver us from a thing. If he knows that that thing will ultimately deliver us to Him.” – Addison Bevere “Joy is an important tenant of the kingdom of God. You are sacrificing your joy because you are trying to sustain something that is not yours to sustain.” – Addison Bevere “When we make prayer about us moving our mouths, we actually make prayer about us and not about God.” – Addison Bevere “Shalom does not mean peace. We use it as peace and peace is certainly a part of shalom. But what Shalom literally means is integration. It means the pieces coming together to make a whole. And because the pieces are coming together to make a whole, Shalom communicates peace, joy, and wellness. What is fractured and fragmented is coming together and becoming whole.” – Addison Bevere RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Words with God: Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection by Addison Bevere How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading by Mortimer J.

NOTE: I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE! Towards the end of today's shiur, I accidentally said "Shadal" when I really meant "Shagar," and I didn't realize it until after the recording stopped. (I think the slip of tongue had something to do with the fact that I'm in the middle of writing a Shadal-based article.) Because of this error, I gave the erroneous impression that Shadal is associated with post-modernism, which is NOT true. Shagar is the one who is associated with post-modernism. I hope this clears things up.Mishlei 23:26-28 - The Pitfalls of the Zonah and the Nochriyah (Part 4)(כו) תְּנָה בְנִי לִבְּךָ לִי וְעֵינֶיךָ דְּרָכַי [תִּצֹּרְנָה] (תרצנה).(כז) כִּי שׁוּחָה עֲמֻקָּה זוֹנָה וּבְאֵר צָרָה נׇכְרִיָּה.(כח) אַף הִיא כְּחֶתֶף תֶּאֱרֹב וּבוֹגְדִים בְּאָדָם תּוֹסִף.Length: 40 minutesSynopsis: This morning (12/29/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed and refined our understanding of the derech nigleh of Mishlei 23:26-28 from yesterday, based on Rabbeinu Yonah.

Developing One's Mind to God's Glory

Earlier this year I gave a three-part shiur (in my Machshavah Lab series for women) on a mishnah in Pirkei Avos about how Hashem judges the world. The question that sparked the shiur was: What is this doing HERE? Avos is a practical masechta about ethics - not metaphysics! Thankfully, we found a commentator who translates these seemingly metaphysical ideas into practical guidelines for receiving a good judgment. Whether you missed last year's shiur or could use a review, I can promise you that today's YBT Sunday shiur (9/25/22, Erev Rosh ha'Shanah) will enhance your Aseres Ymei Teshuvah.----------מקורות:אבות ג:טורד"ק - ספר השורשים, צ.פ.ה. + ר.ש.ה.רמב"ם - פירוש המשניות, אבות ג:יח; שמונה פרקים פרק ב+חספורנו - אבות ג:יטרמב"ם - משנה תורה: הלכות תשובה ה:א-גרש"י, תוספות - עירובין דף כב עמוד ארש"י - סנהדרין דף קיא עמודים א-בתוספות - בבא קמא דף נ עמוד ברמב"ם - משנה תורה: הלכות יסודי התורה ג:יאMortimer J.

Next, we learned Saadia Gaon's interpretation, which has a completely different focus than ours. Last, we learned Ralbag's commentary and endeavored to understand how it fits in line with Saadia Gaon's. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll tackle an entirely different approach in the Malbim, assited by the Gra.----------מקורות:משלי כב:טותרגום ופירוש רס"גרמב"ם: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ו:הMortimer J.

Mishlei 22:14 - The Pitfall of the Strange Woman's Rhetoric (Part 2)שׁוּחָה עֲמֻקָּה פִּי זָרוֹת, זְעוּם י"י [יִפׇּל] (יפול) שָׁם:This morning (9/8/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's pasuk, dividing it into three clear readings, and then attempting to uncover an idea from each. We developed an idea about the literal reading (i.e. that it's talking about an actual woman) based on Rabbeinu Yonah, and rushed through an idea about the allegorical reading (i.e. that it's talking about heretical philosophy) based on Metzudas David and Malbim, but we didn't have time to get to the third approach. There's a possibility we'll spend a third day on this, but most likely, we'll do Q&A tomorrow.----------מקורות:משלי כב:יד; כג:כזרבינו יונהמצודת דודמלבי"םMortimer J.

Saya membahas buku How to Read a Book karya Mortimer J. Adler. Buku ini membahas bagaimana cara membaca buku yang efektif. Lho? Kan kita sudah membaca buku sejak di sekolah, ngapain harus belajar? Betul sekali, tapi sayangnya, tidak semua orang bisa membaca dengan efektif. Sama halnya seperti 90% orang yang merasa kalau keahlian menyetir mereka di atas rata-rata. Membaca itu adalah sebuah keahlian. Sama seperti keahlian yang lain, kamu juga bisa meningkatkan keahlian ini, tidak peduli kalau kamu memang sudah mulai membaca dari kecil.

With half a million copies in print, How to Read a Book is the most successful guide to reading comprehension for the general reader, completely rewritten and updated with new material.

As the Odyssey comes to a close Odysseus is transformed into a vagabond for his final mission. Conquer the suitors that have made his should a ruckus. Odysseus the warrior steps into the shoes of a Vagabond to go undercover in his own household.

Odysseus' journey in The Oddysee is quite extensive and it makes you wonder, why why did it take Odysseus so long to get home? In this episode, we discuss the implications and circumstances surrounding Odysseus' 10-year journey home and what we can learn from it.

In this episode, we are discussing some amazing life lessons as we kick off the first episode of the Odessey. There are 4 things Telemachos has had to do to step out of childhood and take hold of his calling to become a man. He hopes that through this journey he will not only find information regarding what happened to his father but find his father, Odysseus.

The Iliad is a classic work and essential starting point for the Great Books of the Western World. However, many have been claimed by its daunting battles and clashing armor. Do we think the Iliad is worth the read? Join the Great Conversation to find out.

Who are the gods of the Iliad and what are their characteristics. We are going to talk about each god featured in the Iliad and some of their standout features so that you can read the Iliad with better clarity and understanding.

Book Nine of the Iliad opens a vast turning point in the rivalry between Achilles and Agamemnon. Book 9 presents the speech of Achilles denying the gifts of Agamemnon to come and fight once again on the behalf of the Achaians.

As we kick off the great books we find ourselves in the 10-year reading plan trudging through Homer's Iliad. One theme that continues to stick out to us is the constant involvement and amusement of the gods in the ongoing war between the Trojans and Achaeans.

If you started to read The Great Books of the Western World I'm sure you quickly realized it is not for the faint of heart. We just got started with the Illiad and life has been trying to get in the way of our reading plan. so we had to make some slight adjustments to our plan and we are excited to be back with another episode.

This is Episode 22 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education. Reading is fundamental to an education. It is the intellectual backbone of every literate person. If one cannot read, one cannot be educated, as least in the liberal arts sense of being educated. But reading is difficult for some people and reading challenging, dense texts doesn't make the task any easier. In this episode, Scott and Joffre discuss and break down the Four Levels of Reading as taught by Mortimer J. Adler in his acclaimed work, How to Read a Book. Learning to implement these four levels of reading will help us reach above our heads, intellectually, and grasp the meaning of difficult ideas, thus strengthening our intellect and broadening our understanding. In other words, mastering the four levels of intellectual reading will help us become autodidactic. To learn more about Classical Christian Education, visit https://kepler.education
