Making money was just not high on my list.
Ensuring that customers were taken care of and
employees were happy - those were the important
things. I figured if I did those things well,
Id make money, because I would attract customers
willing to pay a fair price for what I was
offering. We derive our success from
common-sense Treat customers well, give
employees respect, and profits and growth will
naturally follow. Jack Taylor, Founder,

The Rulers Actions Revealed Their Target
And there was a great outcry of the people
against their Jewish brethrenWe have mortgaged
our landsthat we might buy grain because of the
famine We have borrowed money for the kings
tax we are forcing our children to be slaves...
It is not in our power to redeem them And I
became very angry when I heard their outcry.
After serious thought, I rebuked the rulers
Each of you is exacting usury from his brother
According to our ability we have redeemed our
Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now
indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or
should they be sold to us? Then they were
silenced and found nothing to say. (Nehemiah
51-9 )

Nehemiahs Actions Revealed His Target
What you are doing is not good. Should you not
walk in the fear of our God because of the
reproach of our enemies? I also, with my brethren
and my servants, am lending them money and grain.
Please, let us stop this usury! Restore now their
lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and
their houses So they said, We will restore
itfrom the time that I was appointed to be their
governor 12 years, neither I nor my brothers ate
the governors provisions. But the former
governors who were before me laid burdens on the
people but I did not do so, because of the fear
of God. (Neh 511-13)

each in front of his own house. After them Zadok
made repairs in front of his own house. After him

repairs. After him Hananiahrepaired another
section. After him Meshullam made repairs in
front of his dwelling.

But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we
were rebuilding the wall, he was furiousand
spoke to his brethren and army, What are these
feeble Jews doing? Now Tobiah the Ammonite said,
Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on
it, he will break down their stone wall. Hear, O
our God, for we are despised turn their reproach
on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a
land of captivity! Do not let their sin be
blotted out from before You for they have
provoked You to anger before the builders. So we
built the wall, and it was joined together up to
half its height, for the people had a mind to
work. (Nehemiah 61-5)

Now it happened, when Sanballat and Tobiahheard
that the walls were being restored, they became
very angry and conspired to attack Jerusalem and
create confusion So it was when the Jews who
dwelt near them came, that they told us 10 times,
Wherever you turn, they will be upon us.
Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts
of the wall at the openings and I set the people
according to their families, with their swords,
spears and bows. And I looked and said to the
nobles, the leaders, and the people, Do not be
afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and
awesome (Nehemiah 47-14)

When our enemies heard that it was known to us,
and that God had brought their plot to nothing,
that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to
his work. So it was, from that time on, that half
of my servants worked at construction, while the
other half held the spears, the shields, the
bows, and wore armor and the leaders were behind
all the house of Judah. (Nehemiah 415-17)

So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day
of Elul, in fifty-two days. And it happened, when
all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations
around us saw these things, that they were very
disheartened in their own eyes for they
perceived that this work was done by our God.
Nehemiah 615-16

A regret of action is doing something you wish
you hadn't done. A regret of inaction is not
doing something that you wish you had done.  That
conviction is backed up by the research of two
Cornell social psychologists. Their research
found that time is a key factor in what we
regret. We usually regret our actions over the
short-term. But over the long haul, we tend to
regret inactions. Their study found that in an
average week, action regrets were slightly
greater than inaction regrets -- 53 to 47. But
when people look at their lives as a whole,
inaction regrets outnumber action regrets 84 to
