How Much You Know

How much you know will greatly influence how much you can give out, ancient words would say "the only thing bigger than you is that thing you don't know yet", in today's world many people pay so much because of ignorance, no I don't mean ignorance as an insult but as what you are in the dark about, you can board a taxi and the cab man seeing that you don't know the area too well might decide to over charge you for the fare and once you've agreed you will have to pay and learn a lesson via the process in case of next time.

The quest for knowledge is like a silent quest for wealth. The only difference is in the application of the acquired knowledge, its good to know but its wise to apply such knowledge. I once met a girl that could sow her clothes, bake the cakes and plait hairs as well as pursuing her degree program in our university and each time I'd went over to visit my friend, there's always something to eat or drink and mind you she doesn't receive any financial assistance from home rather she gives back home to support and you can bet the parents would treasure such a child, even I treasured her and it goes as far to show how an acquisition of knowledge can cause a transformation in ones status quo.

The learning period undoubtedly isn't an easy one and if you aren't convinced about its productivity, one could easily back out. Also coming is the aspect of learning amiss, a field where you don't have any initial interest and you're being forced or cajoled into learning, there would be a limit to how much you can grasp as the mind would drift from time to time. The world is getting wiser now though, as parents now are being aware of their kids interest from an early stage and helping them improve in it rather than dictating whats best for the child. A kid who is showing interest in machines, engine, bikes, cars and the likes are quickly taken to know more about the engineering world, placed in the kids section, even his phones are stored with YouTube videos of that related field, you see parents supporting their kid in ballet, in gymnastics, in music all from an early age, although there's no guarantee there won't be a shift in interest as the kid grows older.

I am of the school of thought that we all should have an idea, an insight at least in any and every given field of life, there is an inter relation from one field to another, even if your specialty is in a production of cooking oil, it doesn't stop you from knowing something about jazz, or aeroplanes, the human mind is vast and it's more of an under usage to segment it to one field and field alone throughout a life time. Its a great idea to major in a thing, in that you'll spend most of your daily time, but you never can tell the excitement you can derive from the other side, create time to knowing new things, this doesn't make you "Jack of a trade" jack doesn't have a major, you do, you are only expose to other areas know. You never can tell where a million dollar question or contract is coming from, that little idea might just get it for you.

The Bible says something very profound and I quote "Study to show yourself approved, a workman needs not to be ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth" this saying is a 100% truth and I'll be breaking it down for any needing elaboration. Now, not only in the office or workshop can one intelligences be tested, even on the road, while driving, while cooking, while speaking to another in fact anything that requires your brain function is a test to your knowledge, what you know, so you'll do yourself good to study it, not necessary reading books on it, most ladies can cook today not by reading about cooking but just watching their mothers, they are indeed studying too, nor do we boys learn to play football by reading about it but just by watching and putting interest in it, so in all we are studying, babies learning to walk, learning a guitar, boxing, even books, life is full of study, so it says study well everyone, so you won't be ashamed in public as you would know what to do and do it right.

Are you tired of how much you earn, then think on how much you know that can help your earnings, there might be something you can do that might very well bring the change you hope for, you just haven't thought well on it, we all are being paid for what we can do, that is our skill set. The higher paid people in the world would have the rarest of skill set, something not everyone can do, the smaller a group of people engage in a field very useful to humanity the better fee they can charge for services rendered, its all economics, law of demand and supply, an increase in one affects the other and the sellers are always looking for that advantage.

You pay for what you know know. Even when you know but you don't use the knowledge, you'll still pay but this time painfully, imagine having a farm, but refusing to plant corn overtime, one day you went to buy corn and the seller doubles the price and you know rain fell as well as the climate weather has been favourable so nothing should affect the price, you might argue but yet you'll have no choice but to pay painfully because you need the corn, another might just buy and complain, but not painfully, you both paid, yeah but you know very well that you were duped.

Alright guys, pay more attention and keep learning at all times, keep studying so you won't be ashamed but rather you can be positioned for any given opportunity. Wisdom keeps making people wealthy and happy everyday, and wisdom is simply the application of acquired knowledge, so get knowledge and start using what you know to get what you want off life.
