“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives”
– James Madison
A common saying in computer terminology goes thus, “garbage in, garbage out”. This simply means that it is what you store in the computer system that it will give back to you. This is precisely how our minds work, our input determines our output. Do you expect a computer system to produce a file that is not on its data base? NO! You will have to update your computer system to be able to do so. Doing a system update on your mind is your most important tool for achieving success.
You can never perform beyond the level of your knowledge. Give priority to increasing your mental capacity.
The difference between a human being and an animal is the quality of thoughts. It is the quality of our thoughts that will determine the level of income we earn. Improving the quality of our thinking is a deliberate effort towards getting information. As we absorb information, we are inspired, we get an idea and it is ideas that rule the world.
With the power of what you know, you can carve a niche for yourself in life because through the resources of what you know stored inside of you; you can proffer solutions to human problems that exist around you. Whenever a problem is solved, value is created and value when created, attracts money in exchange of the value created. Money will give you prosperity and in turn, prosperity will give you wealth if you are able to sustain the value created. When you know nothing, you cannot solve any problem. Money simply answers to people who create value. What do you know and what value have you created today? Our world is in lack of people who can solve problems.
You see circumstances can take away your money but they cannot take away what you know. It simply means that even if all you have now are taken away from you, you can still bounce back by the power of what you know and have more than you have had in the past. What do you know that you can always leverage on during life-shattering moments?
