Knowledge Is Light: The More You Know, The Brighter Your Light Shines

Your gift/talent should not be an excuse for your lackadaisical attitude towards your academics. I’ve been privileged to meet talented/gifted in various fields. From my observation, what makes the difference between those who make their gift count and those who are eventually “forgotten” is their “knowledge base”. No matter how promising the gift of a man is, there’s the need for him to have a good academic background and get current information on how to deploy of his gift in order to remain relevant in today’s world, especially in this part of the world.

The importance of combining (formal) education with your area of gifting can never be over-stressed. The likes of Bill Gates, Aliko Dangote, that we refer to as drop outs or uneducated today are not where they use to be (knowledge). These people have moved on and have gained more knowledge, don’t be deceived! The more you know, the more relevant you’ll become Olumide Emmanuel an author and my teacher puts it like this, if you are not updated, you’ll be  outdated… if you’re not in the know, you can never be in the flow. What keeps you relevant is the level of knowledge you’ve got and its capacity to solve today’s problems.

Never leave it too late before you realize that talent is not enough. You need something more to qualify you. Like the popular saying goes, “heaven help those who help themselves.” My question is, what are you doing to make yourself qualified for heaven’s help? What you do to help yourself for heaven to help you is to “package” yourself by “updating/boosting” your CV.

Knowledge is light and the volume you have is what determines how much you’d shine. I implore you to accept the challenge of increasing the brightness of your light by ensuring that you constantly and regularly update your level of knowledge. Things evolve every day, don’t be left behind, make your knowledge relevant in today’s world.

WHAT IS YOUR SILVER SPOON?

To be born with silver spoon in one’s mouth means to be born into wealth, into a successful and well doing family. There is a popular saying that goes thus, “everyone is not born with a silver spoon.” This has been the excuse for the failure of a lot of people and the excuse a lot more will still give as been responsible for their ineffectiveness and unproductive living.

I believe that everyone has at least a silver spoon. Every human, regardless of the age, race and gender has at least one silver spoon. All that is required from your end is to task your initiative, put your mind to work, ask your Creator to open your eyes to see.

My definition of silver spoon:

·         That special ability you have

·         It is your talent

·         A silver spoon is a point of leverage

·         It is not the wealth in social status but what makes you to become who you were created to be.

Everyone has a silver spoon. The question is what is your silver spoon? What is that special ability you’ve got, that thing that makes you unique. What is your selling point?

If you are not born with a silver spoon in your mouth, create one with your mind (investment mentality) and your hand (hard work) because nobody really came into this world with spoons in their mouth.

As far as I am concerned, the One who created you has given you what you need to become that person you saw in your Dream (if you have one). The sharpness of your mind is required to see that great Future your Creator has prepared ahead of you.

I challenge you, Dare to Dream and much more, make your dream a reality then you would have made for yourself “a customized silver spoon.” See you at the top!
