Don’t get mad and don’t get even either -By Harvey Mackay

Like so many others in business, I have accumulated my share of enemies in the course of a lifetime.

It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Forgive thy enemies is very difficult advice for many of us to follow. After all, if we feel someone has harmed us, we tend to want to get back at them. Result: We can carry our grudges for many, many years.

And, of course, it is totally counterproductive.

I once fired an employee who then went into competition with me and began using what I felt were unfair business tactics.

The psychic energy and accumulated bitterness that went into my thoughts of revenge consumed me for the better part of five years.

It was more than a waste of time, because whenever I thought about it, I grew vindictive and sour, and those

attitudes spilled over into everything I touched. As a result, I lost more than the object of my revenge. Something had to give. And that something was me.

If you can’t take the best advice and forgive your enemies, then take the second best course and forget them. The only way you can achieve true revenge is not to let your enemies cause you to self-destruct.

I learned a very similar story from Bernie Marcus when I was interviewing 29 people for my book “We Got Fired! … And It’s the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Us.” In 1978, Bernie was fired as the CEO of Handy Dan Home Improvement Center chain by Sanford C. “Sandy” Sigoloff, who ran the parent corporation, Daylin. Bernie was 49 years old and had never been fired before. He called it “the low point in his life.”

Bernie was wounded and aching.

His first and only thoughts were about getting even.

“It’s interesting when you have a low like this, you reach one point where you have a chance of coming out or not coming out,” he said. “If you come out, you’re better than you ever were. If you don’t come out, you become what they

commonly refer to as a loser. If you come out, it’s usually because of the influence someone has on you.”

Fortunately for Bernie, that influence was Sol Price, founder of Price Club, which has since become part of Costco.

Price phoned Bernie and invited him to dinner at his home in San Diego.

Bernie got right to the point: “My contract with Daylin was worth a million dollars. Sandy broke the contract. I want to get back at him. Right now I’m suing Sandy for that million.”

To wage the suit, Bernie said he was eating up cash like it was going out of style. Price understood, and the strategy he offered was truly priceless.

After dinner, Price took Bernie to Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 a room in his house filled with papers stacked five to six feet high and no furniture. They were all depositions from a lawsuit Sol had been involved with. He told Bernie that the lawsuit consumed much of his energy and strength for three years of his life.

Price told Bernie: “Why are you spending your young life suing somebody? Why don’t you just forget about it and go on and live your life?

Otherwise, you’re going to end up with a room like this.”

The next morning when Bernie woke up, he said he “really woke up. I called the attorneys and said, ‘You’re off the case. End the litigation. I’m going on with my life.’”

Just where did Bernie go? One year later in 1979, he and Arthur Blank launched The Home Depot, which became the fastest growing retailer in U.S. history.

You will never get ahead of anyone as long as you are trying to get even with them because in order to get even with them, you have to stoop to their level. If you didn’t like their tactics, why would you want to emulate them?

I am not in any way advocating being a patsy for another’s bad behavior.

But you must weigh whether bringing another person down will lift you up.

Take the high road whenever you can – it’s usually not too crowded.

You must also consider what exacting revenge does to your physical and mental health. Will it really make you feel better? Consider the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., an advocate for forgiveness and peace: “The old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind.”

Mackay’s Moral: Revenge may seem sweet, but it makes for a sour disposition.

T h o m a s Bernard Nathe, age 78, of Grey Eagle, died p e a c e f u l l y, surrounded by his family, on Tuesday, April 8, 2014.

Tom was born October 25, 1935 in New Munich to John and Edna (Bohnen) Nathe. He graduated from Melrose High School in 1953, and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served in Korea until 1956. He attended the Northwest Electronics Institute and was employed

After his retirement in 1992, he moved to his home on Little Birch Lake in Grey Eagle and enjoyed his life there for the next 20 years.

He was looking forward to returning to his lake home later this spring when he suffered a heart attack that took his life a few days later. He passed away peacefully at the St. Cloud Hospital,

The Torn Curtain -By Sheila Ripplinger

The curtain in the Temple that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place was a magnificent piece of art! It was crafted with blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen with cherubim worked in to it. The specific detailed instructions for this beautiful Temple Curtain came directly from the Lord God Almighty!

The Scriptures have some possible symbolic meanings relating to the material used in this curtain. Blue representing sapphire, a deep blue precious stone. ~ Jesus is the Precious Cornerstone. Purple was the color of the garments worn by the Kings. ~ Jesus is the King of Kings. Crimson is the color of the blood that needs to be applied to our sin against God. ~ Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of our sins.

Fine linen symbolizes the righteous acts of the saints. The cherubim mark the place of the Lord’s enthronement.

This curtain was approximately 30 feet wide and 60 feet high and about 4 inches thick. The High Priest was the only one that could enter behind that curtain to the Most Holy Place, and that only once a year.

At Jesus’ crucifixion, the sun stopped shining for three hours in the middle of broad daylight. As Jesus’ torn, beaten, bloody body hung on that cross, He cried out in a loud voice and gave up His Spirit. At that very mo-

ment the Temple Curtain was torn in two from top to bottom! Imagine the terror in the Religious leaders at that scene! No longer was a human priest needed to go behind the curtain on behalf of the people. Jesus opened the way!

The Precious Cornerstone, King of Kings, Sacrificial Lamb ~ Crucified, Died, Buried, Risen!

God’s power is the only thing that could have possibly torn that temple curtain in two from top to bottom. Are you still living as though you have a veil/ curtain separating you from a Holy and Just God? Faith in the Risen Jesus Christ is the only way to come to the Father and remove that veil. He is the only High Priest that can atone for our sins, and be the mediator between us and God. Our first step is to start at the cross, lay down our sin, bury it once and for all, accept Jesus’ blood sacrifice and receive forgiveness, mercy, and grace.

Only then can we rise up to live victoriously in true freedom!

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey Dear Dave, I’m 20 years old, and I’m trying to get out of debt. However, I’m concerned about what might happen when I’m older and don’t have a credit score. My girlfriend says I won’t be able to get a job or rent an apartment without a good one. Is this true?

-Ian Dear Ian, No, it’s not true. I’m sure your girlfriend is a sweet person, but she has no clue what she’s talking about in this situation.

In either case you can simply explain that reason you don’t have a credit score is because you have no debt. Since you don’t have any debt, you have something known as money. That makes you very stable, and it makes you a fantastic candidate as an employee or tenant.

Listen to me, Ian. I’m a landlord, and if I had my choice between a tenant with no debt and no credit score and someone with a high credit score but lots of debt, I’d take the one who has no debt in a heartbeat. Why? Because that’s the one who is most likely to pay.

Besides, you already have a good credit history if you’ve paid your bills on time. Show them proof of that, if necessary. But taking on a pile of debt to have a high credit score or increase your current score is just plain stupid!

-Dave Dear Dave, Would it be a good idea to open CD accounts for my two small children?

-Abe

Dear Abe, No. A CD is a Certificate of Deposit.

Basically, they’re not much more than savings accounts which carry early withdrawal penalties. They earn about the same as a regular savings account, too, which at the moment is next to nothing. There’s no reason to open them for your kids.

Now, is it a good idea to save money on behalf of your children? Of course, it is. But if the idea is simply to teach and help them save money, I’d recommend simple savings accounts. If you’re talking about wanting to save money for them—like for a college fund—I’d suggest an Educational Savings Account (ESA) with good, growth stock mutual funds inside.

Even if you want to put aside college savings, I’d urge you to go ahead and open regular savings accounts for each of them. We did that for our kids, and I can tell you from experience, you’ll find tons of teachable moments about saving, giving and life in general!

I Had a Dream -By Jan Klug

This was a dream I had, Yet it seemed so very real.

I only have to close my eyes, And all His suffering I feel.

So, briefly close your tired eyes, Go on this sacred trip with me.

Put your varied feet in my shoes, As you walk, feel and sense and see.

The night was cold and dark, Fog hung heavy in the air.

Jesus walked the path alone - But wait - not alone - I was there.

He held my hand in His, Though not a word was said.

He held my hand with such a gripLike I was suffering instead.

I knelt with Him in the garden, Where there, by Himself, He prayed.

I knelt with Him in the garden, Where there, by Himself, He stayed.

We knelt by that big, sharp rock, Our knees were wet and so cold.

I heard His prayer for mercy, Felt His stress and pain unfold.

When His heart-wrenching words had been uttered in pain,

I knew I was the poor soul who had everything to gain.

I gasped with a shutter, That sent a spine-tingling chill.

Jesus was doing this all- His father’s will to fulfill.

With the quietness around us, Hushed, Jesus got up to stand.

And still not a word spoken, He, once again, took my hand.

We slowly walked farther on, There His disciples all slept.

I thought, oh, you faithless friends, With inward anguish, I wept.

Then for thirty pieces of silver, And a kiss on my Jesus head, Away to His fateful doom, My humble Savior was led.

A noisy crowd had gathered, Many kept taunting my Lord.

But in His simple manner, He deftly dismissed the sword.

They yelled and they laughed, They mocked and they jeered.

Still holding my hand, At my Jesus they leered.

We walk on, ever drearily, Up that treacherous, fateful hill.

Though hard He bled, and stumbled, $5 OFF ANY SERVICE with this ad!

No Greater Love

He held tightly onto me still.

Our eyes met only one time as we walked up that barren hill.

And to this very present day, I see the grief in them still.

The yelling grew much louder, But His loving arm was yet strong.

And His grip grew much tighter, As the two of us trudged a long.

The red blood form His open wounds thundered loud, hitting the hard ground.

Yet His beaten, wretched body, Made not a whimpering sound.

They took my Jesus from me to do Him more bodily harm.

Yet I felt His strong grip hold me in the crook of His loving arm.

The sixth hour it grew deathly dark.

In the ninth hour, Jesus cried out“God, why have you forsaken me?”from the crowd, not a sound or a shout.

Loud thunder cracked the crusted earth. Gale winds swept the darkened skies.

Gloom and death reared their ugly face, Yet, He wiped the tears from my eyes.

My dream is gone, but was so real.

This you must definitely knowNever once in all His suffering, Did my dear savior let me go.

STRANGE BREED by Steve Langille

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

Overview of 2014 session as we pass midpoint

The Legislature is in the midst of its traditional Easter/ Passover break, so this is a good time to look back on what’s happened so far. We’ve been working in St. Paul for the past seven weeks and, after returning from the recess, we’ll have less than five weeks to the end of session.

Several major bills have been passed in the last two weeks, among them the increased minimum wage bill, the anti-bullying bill, a supplemental spending bill, and two major tax bills. There were good provisions in several of these, including sales tax relief for farmers, federal tax conformity in several areas, and an increase in pay for those who work with the disabled. There were also several bills that I didn’t support, including the supplemental budget bill that combined increased spending in all areas of state government into one large, omnibus bill.

The major piece of legislation remaining is the bonding bill. An agreement reached last year limits the size of the bill to around $850 million. However, with this year’s projected budget surplus, there is a move to use some of

that surplus to fund more bonding projects with cash.

Gov. Mark Dayton signed the minimum wage bill into law this week. Beginning Aug. 1, Minnesota’s wage will ratchet up in three steps to $9.50 per hour for large employers, making ours one of the highest in the nation. The measure also contains an inflation clause that allows for automatic increases of up to 2.5 percent per year, based on a measure known as the “implicit price deflator.”

This feature has drawn opposition from groups such as the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business.

Breaking a trend that has been in place for several months, the most recent financial update on the state’s revenues shows a negative trend. According to Minnesota Management and Budget, general fund revenues for February and March are $67 million less than forecast. Individual income tax collections showed a positive number of $27 million; however, the category known as “other revenue” showed a minus $73 million. Among the categories in that group is the Health Care Access Fund, which came in at a negative $14 million.

I had written in last week’s column that this fund is being depleted because of the increased cost of the new healthcare system in Minnesota.

Beginning this week, on April 14, those traveling on Interstate 94 to and from the metro area may encounter delays. Travel will be reduced to a single lane during non-rush hours as workers begin preliminary work on a reconstruction project in the Monticello area. The lane closures will occur seven days a week as crossover lanes are constructed.

Work on the two-mile stretch of freeway is expected to be completed this fall.

May your family enjoy a happy and blessed Easter. Church services during Holy Week are on the schedule for many, in addition to the traditional Easter meal with family and friends on Sunday.

Lo, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it; his appearance was as lightening and his clothes were as white as snow. For fear of him, the guards trembled and became as dead men.

And the angel said to the women, “Be not afraid I know that you seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is risen.

He is not here. Why seek the living among the dead? Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful man and be crucified and on the third day rise again.’

Come now and see that place where He lay. (Then they remembered His words.)”

“Go quickly and tell His disciples and Peter that He is risen from the dead, and lo, He goes before you into Galilee.

There, you will see Him as He told you.”

Some went away with fear and trembling and said nothing because they were afraid. Others went away quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.

‘The Typist’ St. Cloud Screening A public screening of the documentary film The Typist, which depicts the experiences of a Minnesota soldier at the Nuremberg Trials, is scheduled at the Stearns History Museum on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Monday, April 28th at 7:00 p.m. Dr. Daniel Wildeson, Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at St. Cloud State University, will assist Mr. Tillemans in the evening’s presentation.

The Typist follows the life and work of Larry Tillemans of Sartell, believed to be the last living clerk-typist at the Nuremberg Trials, which were conducted in Germany immediately after World War II to judge Nazi war criminals. As a sergeant in the U.S. 3rd Army, it was Tilleman’s duty to document the testimonies of victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust. Later in life, Tillemans made it a personal mission to share his knowledge and experiences about the Trials with as many people as possible, leaving him to speak at more than 450 public events throughout Minnesota

over the past 20 years.

The Typist was produced by KSMQ Public Television of Austin Minnesota, which serves southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. The film is part of KSMQ’s work to document and celebrate Minnesota history, arts, and cultures.

The internationally recognized date for Holocaust Remembrance Day corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah.

This presentation is free to Stearns History Museum members and a small fee for non-members.

Bigger is not always better, the growing government problem -By Start Rep. Ron Kresha

Minnesota has become a battleground in the debate over the size of government.

On one side there is the battle cry for more government intervention into our economy and everyday lives, as we’ve seen over the past two years during one-party control in Saint Paul. $160 million was spent on the MNsure website that wobbled off the launch pad and is still not fully functioning and processing applications effectively.

An $89 million Senate Office Building with no public parking seemingly built to honor the presence of our part-time Senators.

The recent passage of a bullying bill turns State Government into the State Board of Education. Local school ad-

ministrators and teachers are no longer trusted to handle student conflict. In the name of “safe schools”, bureaucracy is interjected between the school, parents, and teachers. It seems it no longer takes a village to raise a child, just the government.

Our state government is the largest employer in Minnesota and continues to grow each year with no end in sight.

On the other side is the argument for efficient and effective government that is limited and less expensive.

Minnesota is blessed with a growing agriculture economy, booming energy sector, growing manufacturing, and high tech-entrepreneurs.

Our business economy is fighting to find skilled employees to meet the needs of the growing global middle class with good-paying jobs. But business needs the space to grow and the business economy cannot compete with the rapidly growing and more expensive government.

Moreover, business needs an education system where students can reach their academic potential. Education dol-

With a license, Teens can Hunt Toms for Entire Turkey Season This year for the first time, youth age 17 and younger can hunt the entire Minnesota spring turkey season or until they harvest a turkey and they can choose any location open to turkey hunting, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said.

Youth age 13-17 need to obtain a license for a small fee. Youth age 12 and younger need to obtain a free license.

Spring wild turkey season begins Wednesday, April 16 and runs through Thursday, May 29.

Gone is the need for youth to pick a single time period and risk getting shut out by bad weather or an unexpected conflict with school, work or family obligations.

“Adults should share their passion for hunting and get kids out in the field,”

said Mike Kurre, DNR’s mentoring program coordinator. “The season structure for youth and inexpensive license fees provide the opportunity to build the family turkey hunting tradition from the ground up - or the parents down.”

All turkey hunters must have their license and tag in possession when hunting.

Additional information about the spring turkey hunting season is available on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/ hunting/turkey.

business more expensive.

In education, we’ve seen more money invested, but little interest in working with our local school administrators to ensure accountability and results. The educational policy that has come from St. Paul this last year has focused more on feel-good policy and less on achievement programs and family stability.

Government should be preparing people to enter the business sector and then get out of the way as much as possible.

If we continue improving in the area of education and put a stop to this unsustainable growth in government, the best is yet to come for Minnesota. I believe we can either have a robust, booming economy fueled by innovators or we can have a flat economy subsidized by the government and ultimately the taxpayers. Personally, I am a risk-taker shooting for new heights.

lars need to go to academic achievement in the classroom, not social engineering.

The competitiveness of our economy depends on the entrepreneurial fearlessness of our next generation, not the size of our state bureaucracy.

How can we promote and encourage that entrepreneurial spirit? How can we make sure the next Fortune 500 company is founded here in Minnesota rather than lower-tax states with booming economies like Texas and Florida?

The answer is simple: get government out of the way, and empower our local schools.

Unfortunately over the past two years, that approach has been cast aside in favor of government without guardrails. Government has grown by more than 10% over the past two years. Taxes have shot up by more than $2.1 billion.

Government has added regulations and mandates that make the price of doing

Health care directives: Who will speak for you?

When family members are faced with a life and death health care decision for a loved one, it can be overwhelming. Having a health care directive can lessen the burden.

A health care directive is a planning tool used to identify who you

God Will Save Me

A terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes.

They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.

A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, “I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.”

The neighbors came by his house and said to him, “We’re leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!” But the man declined. “I have faith that God will save me.”

As the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, “Hurry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!” But the man again said, “No thanks, God will save me.”

The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. “We will come up and rescue you!” they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, “Use your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!”

The flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop.

A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, “Grab my hand and I will pull you up!” But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. “No thank you! God will save me!”

Shortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.

When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, “I put all of my faith in You. Why didn’t You come and save me?”

And God said, “Son, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?”
