Nuts & Bolts- Is it important?

You don't teach morals and ethics and empathy and kindness in the schools. You teach that at home, and children learn by example. Judy Sheindlin

Mechanical engineers and technicians who deal with machinery of any kind, which are complicated, yet would not ignore the small nuts and bolts that keeps things attached to the main body. I would like to remind you of an incident where Emery Worldwide Flight 17 the DC-8 crashed on February 16, 2000 killing all 3 crew members on board. This happened shortly after taking off from Sacramento Mather Airport



An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed an incorrect maintenance procedure, which was implemented by Emery Worldwide, introduced an incorrect torque-loading on the bolts which were supposed to connect the control rod. In simple language the nuts and bolts were loosely fixed to a control rod to the right elevator. Discovery channel televised the crash investigation recently. 


What are the nuts and bolts in your area of function that fixes your whole life, family, work system and your social life? Most of the time it is the money, power, fame that we chase after and when it disappoints us we crash like the Emery worldwide aircraft. These are so temporary and will disappoint us again and again. What is very important like nuts and bolts are the value system, morality, ethics, faith on God.


Honesty, integrity, trust, love and so on, becomes integral to our life then for sure you will not be disappointed even if there are failures. You still gain hope. The source of the ethics, value, faith is from the God almighty alone. Find what God speaks about such values and follow the same to keep your life from crashing.


Stay integrated.
