Wisdom

Socrates, the Greek Philosopher, described wisdom in two simple words:

"Know Yourself"!

Short, yet extremely powerful frase, and so true. Because only we can
answer all the questions, only we can put limits on our self`s. Knowing our own ability
and limits, is the wisdom.

The more we know about ourself, the more we can achieve. If we don't know ourself really well, we'll end up limiting ourself by playing it safe - and in doing so, we'll waste 95% of our true potential.

The Bible among many versets, has this little wisdom educator, that is very clear and powerful.

" Wisdom brings up her own sons,
and cares for those who seek her.
Whoever loves her,loves life,
those who wait on her early will be filled with happiness.
Whoever holds her close will inherit honour,
and wherever he walks the Lord will bless him.
Those who serve her minister to the Holy One,
and the Lord loves those who love her.
Whoever obeys her judges aright,
and whoever pays attention to her dwells secure.
If he trusts himself to her he will inherit her,
and his descendants will remain in possesion of her;
for though she takes him at first though winding ways,
bringing fear and faintness on him,
plauguing him with her discipline until she can trust him,
and testing him with her ordeals,
in the end she will lead him back to the straight road,
and reveal her secrets to him.
If he wanders away she will abandon him,
and hand him over to his fate."
(Sourced from: The Bible 4:5 Ecclessiasticus)




Do we know how powerful we are? Don't just look at who we are right now - look at what we can be! We're one of God's most magnificent creatures. We have a brain with fantastic powers and potential. Just think - despite the greatest advancements in biology and anatomy, scientists have only just begun to discover the true capabilities of the brain.

Look inside ourself and you'll find one miracle after another. With all that potential and all those capabilities, why are we  limiting ourselfs?

Below is a quote from an article by Mohamed Tohani:

"Know who you truly are and you will soon understand what you can achieve. Just believe in yourself. Know your values and beliefs. Know your talents and passions. Know your true purpose and what you're meant to do in this life. Know your strengths as well as your weaknesses.
Know yourself. You live with yourself more than you live with anyone else. Don't you think you should know everything about your everlasting partner?
I'm going to ask you to do one thing - I promise, just one thing! But in return, please promise me that you will do it. I know you will.
Starting today, find out more about yourself than you know about your favorite movie star. Fair enough?
Believe me, the world needs you and you can make a difference - a BIG difference. When you know who you truly are, you will be amazed at what you can be and do in this life. Unleash YOURSELF!
The Socratic wisdom is simple. All you have to do is follow the advice of those two little words: "Know yourself!" Your success is waiting just around the corner."

So lets look in side our self`s ....... and see the wonders we can MAKE together!!!
