A Blind Mind..

According to Helen Keller, the greatest harm that could happen to Man is to have eyes and not use them. This in its entirety is an embodiment of truth.

Times and times again, we've been made to understand that to excel in life, you don't necessarily need all your organs. People like Stevie Wonder and Cobhams Asuquo have brought this fact to light. The Nigerian Paralympics team helped us see why we need not castigate physically challenged people, cos the only limitation a man can have in life is being blind; in the mind.

The mind which is the epicentre of any human is the table upon which decisions are made. It is the battleground where battles are either won or lost. It is also the point at which you choose to be successful or not. However, the level of exposure your mind has is based on what you feed it.

The mind just like the stomach needs food to be effective. That food is education. When I say education, I don't mean just the 'A B C 1 2 3' typo education. As a matter of fact, formal education only helps us get prepared for what informal education has in stock for us. Formal education tells you that 1+1=2 but informal education asks you what 1 you add to another 1 to get 2.

This in a great way is what puts the mind on the path unto analyzing situations, proferring solutions,and being effectual. Just like the Computer terminology GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out), the mind is apt to give you a feedback of what you give it. So if you tell the mind that black is white and vice versa, it would tell you same when you ask for that detail.

This brings us to see that not only should our mind be fed details that would help it function, but it should be fed details that would enable it function properly. One thing is certain; the mind is like a child. It is receptive, and doesn't know what is right and wrong at the reception. What you say to it is what it would accept.

In other words, feed your mind with the right ideas and information that you may prosper in all that you do..
