IS IT WORKING?

-
The encyclopaedia is an invention of man, so, it would not be out of place to say, man knows more than the encyclopaedia. 
What do you think?

Everyday I see how people strive to learn new things and acquire more knowledge concsiously and unconsciously. Atimes it is glaring that the learning is out of compulsion and circumstances but, I do not have a challenge with that in this piece. All my interest at the moment is, how much of the acquired knowledge the learners actually put to work?
Are we really learning to eventually forget or are we learning and practicing what we learn.
People always say knowledge is power but I have always held on to the school of thought that believes knowledge is potential power and not power.
If you have not noticed, whatever you learn that has no application in your life or through your life is an aberration in knowledge and ultimately a waste of time. Recent researches have asserted that against the 10% brain usage myth, every part of the human brain is put to work hence the need for efficiency in brain usage.

How do you then put all you keep learning to work?

✍️ Know a little about everything but, spend more time learning what you need. Don't learn emotionally or subjectively. Be objective in your learning.

✍️ Focus on application right from the beginning of the learning and it will guide what you eventually assimilate.

✍️ Periodically review the applicability of the things you have learnt to see it's value to you today or tomorrow.

✍️ Celebrate the knowledge you have acquired and applied successful.

✍️ Always tell yourself the truth. Don't wait for someone to come and tell you that you are wasting your time learning what you do not need.

Love knowledge, acquire as much as you can but, don't become a victim of knowledge.
Put the things you have learnt to practice.

SPEND WAITING WISELY😄

My mates are this my mates are that, weldon oh🤠, I greet you! I have read stories, watched documentaries and seen a couple of successful people. One thing that strikes about most of them is that, they didn't become successful the day they started. Did you hear that🤔 ? ✍️The desperate desire to make it now, now has over time cost us more than we would have gained, why🙄? Because we failed to appreciate time and growth. I don't in anyway discredit possiblities of sudden breaks, but our tenacity in expectation of sudden breaks must not be allowed to becloud our understanding of growth and development. Some people are of the believe that it is easier to make money from the poor than the rich or should I rather say, exploit the poor than the rich instead🤔. The reason is not far fetched it is because of the gullibility of the poor. Scriptures says the vision is for an appointed time which means there are things that will happen between the discovery of the vision and t

How Far?

If you are in Nigeria or have stayed in some parts of Nigeria, you must have heard this question "how far?" from someone. It connotes either of "what is the progress report" or "how are you doing?" We are fast moving in the fourth month of 2022 already, HOW FAR? What has changed, what has improved, what have you given up or what have you picked up towards becoming a better version of you? Life is measured in time and the value of time is in its use. It's much easier to waste it. Don't wait for anyone to ask you about the progress report of the decisions you consciously made at the beginning of the year. At the end of it all it will be a question that only you will have to answer so start answering it now. Are you still on track or have you drifted off the track? It's not a time for long words, just answer the question, HOW FAR? © Ojonugwa, J. A

THE ERROR OF CUT YOUR COAT ACCORDING TO YOUR SIZE.

If you cut your "destiny coat" according to your size, you will definitely waste some "destiny fabric" and I know you hate waste.😄 That was a reflective joke please, before I start getting questions on destiny coat😄. I have observed one thing that has been centrally accepted by all kinds of people to play a vital role in success, it is the mind. Irrespective of religious doctrines, educational backgrounds, psychological perspectives and secular orientation the mind and mindset has never been an issue of controversy when talking about it's role in success. My own save haven explains it this way: "as a man thinketh in his heart(mind) so is he." You agree with that ideology right? If the mind is that important then, we must be cautious and conscious of its growth and development because, to a great extent it defines us. Look at it this way, the wright brothers knew about the law of gravity but had a different mindset about it. Today their mi
