WISDOM -THE ELIXIR FOR SUCCESSFUL LIVING

In a world where results speak louder than efforts, where relationships bloom in prosperity but wither in adversity, and where silence holds more power than words, the essence of wisdom shines brightly. Wisdom comes from deep life's experiences, and it's usually hard-earned. Sometimes, few words convey powerful meanings than lengthy words. These short wisdom nuggets say a lot with just a few words, and the profound truths serves as a reminder of the importance of wisdom in guiding our actions, as we navigate the ocean of life: 1.

THERE IS PROTECTION IN CORRECTION

According to an adage, a child that despises elders' correction is threading the part of destruction. Everybody in life, no matter the age, education, wealth and intellectual background, is prone to committing errors or mistakes. This makes us human. Correction is one of the means to salvage us from the damage that may result from our errors or mistakes, by a corrector, who may likely be a friend or relative, older, wiser, or more experienced than us in life. It is also human nature to despise correction, due to pride, educational status, political position, and arrogance of ignorance, believing you are superior to the corrector. Correction is a method of protection from immediate or future pain and consequences of wrong actions we take, in marriage, relationships, career, ministry, finance, education, association, etc. The Holy Bible emphasizes the importance of receiving and giving correction, as it views it as a path to wisdom, understanding, and spiritual growth, while it also ...
