It’s quiet. It’s early. My coffee is hot.
The sky is still black. The world is still asleep.
The day is coming. In a few moments the day will arrive.

It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.
The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day.
The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race.
The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.

For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day’s demands.

It is now that I must make a choice.
Because of Calvary, I’m free to choose.
And so I choose.

 

I choose love
No occasion justifies hatred;
No injustice warrants bitterness.
I choose love.
Today I will love God and what God loves.

 

I choose joy
I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance.
I will refuse the temptation to be cynical the tool of the lazy thinker.
I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God.
I will refuse to see any problems anything less than an opportunity to see God.

 

I choose peace
I will live forgiven.
I will forgive so that I may live.

 

I choose patience
I will overlook the inconveniences of the world.
Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I’ll invite him to do so.
Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray.
Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.

 

I choose kindness
I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone.
Kind to the rich, for they are afraid.
And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

 

I choose goodness
I will go without before I take dishonest gain.
I will be overlooked before I will boast.
I will confess before I will accuse.
I choose goodness.

 

I choose faithfulness
Today I will keep my promises.
My debtors will not regret their trust.
My associates will not question my word.
My wife will not question my love.
And my children will never fear that father will not come home.

 

I choose gentleness
Nothing is won by force.
I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.
If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.
If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

 

I choose self-control
I am a spiritual being.
After this body is dead, my spirit will soar.
I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal.
I choose self-control.
I will be drunk only by joy.
I will be impassioned only by my faith.
I will be influenced only by God.
I will be taught only by Christ.
I choose self-control.

 

 

To these I commit my day.
If I succeed, I will give thanks.
If I fail, I will seek His grace.
And then, when this day is done,
I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

所谓ERP是英文Enterprise Resource Planning(企业资源计划)的简写。
是指建立在信息技术基础上，以系统化的管理思想，为企业决策层及员工提供决策运行手段的管理平台。ERP系统集中信息技术与先进的管理思想於一身，成为现代企业的运行模式，反映时代对企业合理调配资源，最大化地创造社会财富的要求，成为企业在信息时代生存、发展的基石。

 

举个例子说明：
一天中午，丈夫在外给家里打电话：“亲爱的老婆，晚上我想带几个同事回家吃饭可以吗？”(订货意向)
妻子：“当然可以，来几个人，几点来，想吃什么菜？”
丈夫：“6个人，我们7点左右回来，准备些酒、烤鸭、番茄炒蛋、凉菜、蛋花汤……。你看可以吗？”(商务沟通)
妻子：“没问题，我会准备好的。”(订单确认)
妻子记录下需要做的菜单(MPS计划)，具体要准备的东西：鸭、酒、番茄、鸡蛋、调料……(BOM物料清单)，发现需要：1只鸭蛋，5瓶酒，4个鸡蛋……(BOM展开)，炒蛋需要6个鸡蛋，蛋花汤需要4个鸡蛋(共用物料)。
打开冰箱一看(库房)，只剩下2个鸡蛋(缺料)。
来到自由市场，妻子：“请问鸡蛋怎么卖？”(采购询价)
小贩：“1个1元，半打5元，1打9.5元。”
妻子：“我只需要8个，但这次买1打。”(经济批量采购)
妻子：“这有一个坏的，换一个。”(验收、退料、换料)
回到家中，准备洗菜、切菜、炒菜……(工艺线路)，厨房中有燃气灶、微波炉、电饭煲……(工作中心)。
妻子发现拨鸭毛最费时间(瓶颈工序，关键工艺路线)，用微波炉自己做烤鸭可能来不及(产能不足)，于是在楼下的餐厅里买现成的(产品委外)。
下午4点，接到儿子的电话：“妈妈，晚上几个同学想来家里吃饭，你帮忙准备一下。”(紧急订单)
“好的，你们想吃什么，爸爸晚上也有客人，你愿意和他们一起吃吗？”
“菜你看着办吧，但一定要有番茄炒鸡蛋，我们不和大人一起吃，6：30左右回来。”(不能并单处理)
“好的，肯定让你们满意。”(订单确定)
“鸡蛋又不够了，打电话叫小店送来。”(紧急采购)
6：30，一切准备就绪，可烤鸭还没送来，急忙打电话询问：“我是李太，怎么订的烤鸭还不送来？”(采购委外单跟催)
“不好意思，送货的人已经走了，可能是堵车吧，马上就会到的。”
门铃响了。
“李太太，这是您要的烤鸭。请在单上签一个字。”(验收、入库、转应付账款)
6：45，女儿的电话：“妈妈，我想现在带几个朋友回家吃饭可以吗？”(呵呵，又是紧急订购意向，要求现货)
“不行呀，女儿，今天妈已经需要准备两桌饭了，时间实在是来不及，真的非常抱歉，下次早点说，一定给你们准备好。”(哈哈，这就是ERP的使用局限，要有稳定的外部环境，要有一个起码的提前期)。
送走了所有客人，疲惫的妻子坐在沙发上对丈夫说：“亲爱的，现在咱们家请客的频率非常高，应该要买些厨房用品了(设备采购)，最好能再雇个小保姆(连人力资源系统也有缺口了)。
丈夫：“家里你做主，需要什么你就去办吧。”(通过审核)
妻子：“还有，最近家里花销太大，用你的私房钱来补贴一下，好吗？”(最后就是应收货款的催要)
记住，每一个合格的家庭主妇都是生产厂长的有力竞争者。   
但丈夫是领导者。
