Why we Praise Meaningless Jargon and Fail to Realize the Emperor has No Clothes
FS.BLOG -- Just about anyone can measure the absence of candor in communications: start reading with a red pencil and underline clichés such as "employees are our greatest assets," "our future is bright," "advancing momentum," and "we aim to create shareholder value." This kind of meaningless jargon and platitudes diminishes our understanding of the business and our trust in the leadership. When you're done, look back. If there's a lot of red on the page, consider yourself warned. Rittenhouse coined an acronym for the absence of candor: "FOG." It stands for "fact-deficient, obfuscating generalities." ...

Sufism and the Integration of Man -- BoAI Vol #3
GOOGLE.COM -- Islam is the religion of unity (tawhid) and all aspects of Islamic doctrine and practice reflect this central principle. Sufism, being the marrow of the bone or the inner dimension of the Islamic revelation, is the means par excellence whereby tawhid is achieved. All Muslims believe in Unity as expressed by the Shahadah, La ilaha ill'Allah. But only the Sufi, has realized the mysteries of tawhid, who knows what this assertion means. Only he sees God everywhere. The whole programme of Sufism, is to cure man from hypocrisy and to make him whole. Many today would like to be sophisticated at all costs, even preferring to be sophisticated and enter hell rather than be simple and go to paradise, for as Christ said ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
