Wisdom is not a function of size, neither is it dependent on age or experience. Until we learn from our experiences,we can not developed wisdom. It is well said that experience is the best teacher. But the question is this: must it always be our own experience? Only fools insist on learning from their own experience alone. Wise men stand out because of their willingness to learn from the experiences of others.
They study people who have succeeded to know what they did. They study people who have failed to know what they did. They use the shoulders of people who have gone ahead of them as a springboard in to their own success.
The wisdom of ant is in the ability to prepare their meat in summer. Ants don't consider their weaknesses. They understand the time and seasons, and they realize that summer is the best time for them to go out. Any attempt to go out during winter will result in death. So, to survive winter, they must accumulate enough food to last them through winter.
Take your eyes off your weakness. Take your eyes off the unfavorable seasons of life. Focus on your opportunities. Focus on what you have working for you. Our physical or financial capabilities is not in anyway limiting us in life, only our diligence.
A great man once said: successful people are those who have learnt the secret of ensuring that they make up by work, what they lack in talent. So we should start working,we should learn to seize the season and act timely.
Thanks for reading.
Wisdom is the greatest gift
