We have to live a life in relationship with society 1) Time We live in the realm of time. We must have a thorough concept of time. We must be punctual for work or school. We must be thorough with time. 2) Respect and Communication You must be able to respect and communicate with those people you meet. You should be good at communication. You need that kind of conception. It is not good to think, "I must be respected by other people." Among people, the one who respects the other person first will move the other person. 3) Diplomacy and Development Diplomacy and development are necessary to be successful in life. In order to do so, you need to keep in mind the important holidays and birthdays. Those who work in a company should be able to develop their diplomacy. Diplomacy is the ability to make oneself adaptable to other people. In order to do that, you need a good vocabulary and correct expressions. 4) Occupation and Posture For those engaged in work, there are several responsibilities. You must not have bad attitudes. Your occupation is your second self. To have an occupation is to make your second self. You must know that everything is affected by your attitude: how much you produce and achieve in one day and whether it is good or bad. Therefore, you absolutely need a good attitude. When you are engaged in an occupation, you must think that if you have a bad attitude, it is impolite to your work and that you are making a debt. You should think that your occupation is holy because it is your second life, expressing the extension of yourself. 5) The Relationship between Superior and Subordinate In any age or society, there are superior-subordinate relationship. The question is who will influence the relationship. In the relationship between the company president and workers, if the company president gives good influence to the workers, he will be a good company president. If the workers give good influence to the company president, they will be good workers. You must make the relationship between superior and subordinate very round, wholesome, and harmonious. There is no need to complain. 6) The Work Place and I If you are working for a company, you have common interests with the company. There are some people who are indebted to the company. You should not become such people. If you bring harm to the company, you will be fired. Therefore, you must think of connecting your workplace to the nation. You must also think of the national interest. 7) Talking and Behavior You should be decent in all things; in talking and in your behavior. You must be exemplary. Why? By doing so, you can adapt to your environment. I'm conveying these contents because we have to live through these processes and think of our lives and church life as precious. From now on, they will be different from the past. The time has changed. The time has come to put everything in order. By learning what I have instructed and taught you, you must make effort in order to achieve results. In the past, we consumed many things while achieving indemnity, but from now on, we will enter the age when your achievements can become your profit. From the past until now, Satan often destroyed, but from now on, your ownership will expand. You must think of these things and make every effort with all your heart and sincerity. From now on, even those who were not interested in the Unification Church members will be interested in you. You will become the center of attention. Therefore, you must become a model in everything, equipped with these heartistic contents. By doing so, you will receive true pride in front of God. I give you such instructions in order for you to become like that. (131-285)
