Knowledge

-
A pleasant afternoon to you.
How do you do?

 On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why...

 Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in.



Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means.

Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up.

How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is?

The means of acquiring knowledge is a process very few find appealing. And each day we do not add valuable content to our lives, we remain dormant.


Proverbs is a book of the Bible laden with lots of engaging topics on knowledge. It extols the beauty of knowledge, and passionately calls for its application. Wisdom is practical utilization of Knowledge.
The Holy Bible in Proverbs 2 verse 3 says "Yes, beg for knowledge, plead for insight."
It further states that to get knowledge, reverence for the Lord comes first.

Knowledge, they say, is sexy .

Settle not on residual knowledge,
Be open. Learn, unlearn and relearn.

Let me in on your thoughts in the comment section.
Do well to share.

Until next time, may you find the acquisition of knowledge attractive. And I pray you do well to apply where required.

May the Lord reward your pursuit of true knowledge.

Faith,
For the Royal Rubies.

    Thanks for this gentle reminder. Knowlege and its application is what adds value to a man and that value makes men pay for your time and services rendered.

    A personal reminder for me. How often I admire knowledge and how little I seek it.


    Thanks

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were, ...

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa...

Shedding!

The fat we so feared, has finally consumed us. We deprived our bodies of our beauty sleep so we jogged tirelessly. We signed up for several fat-burning exercises. We drank different varieties of homemade and industrial concoctions in the name of slimming tea. We said an emphatic NO to continental dishes that assaulted not just our eyes but also our taste buds. We shut our tummies from the desperate cravings for chocolate and red velvet cakes. We violently opposed the existence of mirrors. We fled and sidestepped the weighing scale. We succeeded in starving our bodies of vital nutrients in a bid to be perfect. We've lived like lions trapped in a cage. We ought to live life. Well, the good news is that the time has come to shed our inhibitions. The snake is unafraid to shed its skin. It does this shedding regularly to enable growth and to eliminate parasites that may have attached to its old skin. If a snake fails to shed, it dies! What fat has consumed us? How oft...
