Understanding Life
On earth, there are 8.7 million living species, (National Geographic) varieties of plants, species of land animals, sea-life, insects, birds, excluding humans. Everything on earth is alive, including the earth itself. Our minds are alive with constant thoughts and ideas. Neurons (nerve cells) use both electrical charges and chemicals called ions to communicate with each other even when we are asleep.
By nature, we are caring and nurturing beings. Changes in the environment challenge us to grow and learn. These changes can be physiological, characterized by feelings of emotion, or psychological, characterized by mental thought. All living things on earth mature and later die. Living things originally produced on earth are born of seeds for continued growth and everlasting life. Everything you require is right here in your capable hands. How convenient is that?
Often, people have accustomed belief systems that do not work. Diane Ravitch is a historian of education and education policy analyst, and a research professor at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development said:
“Sometimes the most brilliant and intellectual minds do not flourish on standardized test because they do not have standardized minds.”
One size doesn’t fit all, and for this reason, clarity comes extremely late. Time lost isn’t necessarily a bad thing, so long as you have a goal or something worth waiting for ourself. Without goals or something worthwhile, it’s simply time lost. Reason you must increase in knowledge (Proverbs 1:5).
The true currency in this world isn’t money, but trust. Without trust, what do we really have? There is honour even among thieves. Trust is a vital component and is the glue in all performing teams, marriages, businesses, and in life. Trust is earned through action because it’s a verb and in behaviours. A person’s character is more important than income, infamy, knowledge, or colour.
“We look for three things when we hire people. We look for intelligence, we look for initiative or energy, and we look for integrity. And if they don’t have the latter, the first two will kill you, because the last thing you need is a knowledgeable, energetic person you can’t trust.” ~ Warren Buffet
