Deering highly recommends Duran for any role, saying she will be a valuable team member.
Form Vs Intent
Many students are of the view that they just need to pass their exams with the bare minimum allowed marks.
If they pass, they'll get that high school certificate or their university degree. The idea being that a high school certificate will get them into university and that a university degree will get them a job.
They miss the point of the exercise. It is not about the result but the process. The trick to learning is to master a subject, not to aim for the bare minimum.
So that when entering the job market, you're actually useful and don't have to be retrained from scratch.
Also, going for the bare minimum is the genesis of the mediocrity virus that proliferates our world. The less we expect of ourselves, the less we do and the less we expect of others.
We don't strive to stand out and make our mark in this world. We strive to fit in so that we are never challenged in any way.
The same is true for our lives and our search to connect with our creator.
We do the bare minimum. We go to church once a week. We say our five daily prayers. We practice Shabbat every Friday.
We do all these things as we're taught. And, we're taught to do them with perfect form. But that's all it is, is form. What's missing is the intention. Doing form to connect with our creator is the bare minimum.
The trick is to master this existence and put everything into doing so. The trick is to practice every day for the moment of our death. Every moment gives us that chance.
Just going through rituals by rote and doing it under the cover of a mosque, synagogue or church is not going to help 'buy our way into heaven'. The couple of minutes we spend on our rituals won't cut it.
The only point of rituals are to focus our attention on the moment so that we are aware of the presence of the creator. So that we can be in awe and gratitude and humility that we have been so blessed.
Our true self comes out in the way we relate to the world and the rest of humanity in it. Every moment gives us a chance to be graceful, grateful and use the muscle of the heart to be useful, kind and beautiful to others. Every opportunity to be kind gets us closer to our creator.
Don't look to the heavens to find your creator. Look to every human being you touch and you'll see the divine in them. You'll meet the creator.
Our intention defines us, not our form. Follow your rituals but most of all be human, be kind, be in awe and be grateful. This is the only chance you and I have of touching the creator.

RE: Letter of Reference for Victoria Duran
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing this letter on behalf of Victoria Duran. I have managed Mrs. Duran at Lucky for
several years.
Mrs. Duran receives my hearty recommendation. I have personally known Victoria for many
years and have had the distinct pleasure to work with her on a day to day basis. I find her to be
consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with a smile. She usually came into work early,
and we can always depend on her to be at work and on occasion work late to complete
assignments that required extra help.
I found that Victoria learned and adapted quickly to the business. Once Victoria has been shown
step-by-step on how to do a report or assignment, very few can better her performance. I found
her steady, dependable and cooperative- three qualities I appreciate in a work environment.
Victoria was an excellent Manager. She is conscientious, efficient, well-organized, bright, and
tactful with all people. She is a tenacious woman and seems to be a determined, straightforward
individual who knows where she is headed. Not many will surpass her as a take-charge
employee. Her handling of day to day operations and special tasks are efficient and pleasant.
I make no hesitation in recommending Mrs. Duran for any role. She will be a valuable team
member wherever she goes.
Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to call me. You can reach me at
my office (707) 448-5723.
Respectfully,
John Deering
