Knowing And Being Known

in #life6 years ago

Seeking to know more is far better than seeking to be known. As a matter of fact, the more you know and the more you increase your knowledge base, the more the world will be forced to know you because you have the solutions they require.

Any day and anytime, the world will seek for those that can provide imminent answers to the bugging questions facing humanity. With wisdom and knowledge, you will be in command of the things you used to seek after.

Knowledge is an indispensible requirement to the success of anyone. This is why it has been said in a popular adage in the Eastern part of Nigeria that:

The more you know, the more you grow.

Your growth is a direct function of your knowledge base. In the same way, lack of knowledge and ignorance is a major cause of the destruction of many people. Can I tell you this? Even some battles can not be won with weapons but on the platform of knowledge.

However, your knowledge should first begin on the knowledge of self. Believe me, if you do not have the knowledge of yourself, you won't even have the knowledge of what you lack, and if you do not have the knowledge of what you lack, then the solution will not be in view.

It takes an extensive level of knowledge for an individual to come to terms with their own lack of knowledge. More so, if you lack knowledge of who you are, someone somewhere will impose on you who you are not.

Self discovery is the key to the realization of purpose. If you do not already see yourself as an achiever, then the ability to pursue after the actualization of your dream will be lacking. In everything you do, one thing is needful; do not forget who you are.

Thanks for reading

Peace on y'all
