Life is like a timetable, wisdom is the ability to do the right thing at the right time. You have to know what to do at any time; this has to do with planning. Those who failed in school are those who disobey their timetable. Let’s say you have English exams on Monday and during the weekend you were playing football or you were studying Mathematics instead of English. So when you don’t follow your timetable, even though you may be doing the right thing but at the wrong time and this will have some consequences.
Your life today is the exact representation of how you
spent your time yesterday and your life tomorrow will reflect on how you spend
your time today. Eccl 3:1
Life is like a snake, wisdom is the ability to charm
it before it bites you. [Eccl 10:11]
Don’t let things happen to you before you react or plan, rather act first
before things happens to you. Also do not do anything without planning.
Life is like a library, wisdom is the ability to know
the right book to read for your assignment. Let’s say there are 3 friends, one
is studying Accounting, the other is studying HR, and the third, Project
management… so if you don’t know your purpose, you will be studying
what you are not supposed to. This is
the reason why people copy other people’s success; in school sometimes
because a friend is studying a particular course so we also want to pursue that same course without thinking about our decision because we have no clue what we
want. Do not do what others are doing
because we have different assignment. It
is not everybody’s success that you can emulate. This is the reason why you are
not good at football but you are perfect when it comes to music.
Life is like a seed, wisdom is the ability to plant
the seed in the right soil; water it, prune it and wait for it to grow. That is to say do not despise small
beginnings. Wisdom will let you see the
potential of little things.
Life is a like a bank, wisdom is the ability to save
today and withdraw tomorrow. “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” [Gal 6:7] You can never get
out of life when you have not put anything. You can’t reap what you have not
sown. If you want to be successful,
plant the seed of success, if you want love, give lot of love, if you want to
be rich, do what the rich does. Note today that success is not by chance…it is
by design.
Life is like a journey on a dangerous road, wisdom is
the ability to observe the road signs.
The road sign will tell you what you should expect ahead. What are the road signs in life?
Road signs are people who have gone ahead
of you in life: their stories should tell you what is ahead of you. Learn to
listen to everybody’s story whether they are failure or success. Wisdom will make you study people who know
better than you are.
Life is a walk on a mine field, wisdom is
the ability to give thought to your step.
The wise always consider his ways. Plan everything that you do and be circumspect in your
daily life concerning your choices, decisions and everything that you do.
