PIRKEI AVOT 5 - Secrets of our sages for managers and leaders - Rabbi Guy Avihod, M.A., MBA

Kind: captions Language: en [Music] as we continue our learning in perkier vote we reach the time as known as the time of pairs there's two people that complete each other the first pair is rabbi yose and rabbi yosei one of them you say benio ezel he is the man of sridha i'll get to that later seven years of east sudan he says may your house be meeting house for sages and become dirty in the dust of their feet and drink their words thirstly yoseben his pair was man of jerusalem he said may your home be open wide and may the poor be members of your household and do not increase conversation with the women yo say and you say the two pairs are the first of many pairs but they couldn't be more different than each other their name is the same but where they come from is so different isabel came from trident do you know where zada is no well don't feel bad because nobody knows to work to dies they'll tell you something not many tell me that came from them not many sages came over there so you said ben ozil says to his family when you see a sage when you see a rabbi tell me somebody who knows his things go out and grab them bring them into your home be a servant to them so you may open up your home and you may open up your mind to them you say lived in jerusalem in jerusalem there's no shortage of rabbis there's no shortage of smart people or people who think they're smart if you want to get up and go get a cup of coffee then you trip over to to two smart people but you know what there isn't there isn't an open home for the poor so you say benjamin says to his family have your house be open to the poor we have to be open we have to be learning from things that are different than us as a person as a manager you always have to be aware that you can't be stagnant in your in your thought in your mind we said that it depends on your environment and on the people and on the situation so you say said let's see what's different from what's missing from my life what's missing from my life is more people to learn from smart people you say let's look at the poor people at the end says do not increase words with your with the woman now with modern eyes this seems terrible what is this don't talk to your wife that doesn't mean that at all it means speak to your wife but don't increase too much in speaking because your wife is the person closest to you she will only help you see things more like you see them increase your thoughts about these things increase your fears about these things and she may stop you not the wife but the idea of having somebody close to you speaking of your fears may stop you from actually acting on them two things that we learned today is that we have to be open to the things that are around us that are not common to us be open to things that are not in your in your venue in your regular environment and second don't speak too much act don't stop don't get stuck at the at the speaking stage but actually act upon it be active in pursuing thought in pursuing people in pursuing other points of view thank you
