THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE

I woke up this morning with a question on my mind. If there is one thing more important than making money and being recognized, if there
is one thing that can solve probably all our problems like an elixir, what will it be?

I wish to show you what you really need in life to navigate your way through any difficult situation. I want to show you what it takes to
kick your life to the next level and live a better life.  If you care to know, life is really easy and fun if you understand what I want to
show you.

Wisdom is the principal thing. Over the years, the world has respect
for those that have power and wisdom. When wise people talk, others
pay rapt attention to listen to what they are saying. Wise people use
the power of words to create their world. If you too want to learn how
to accelerate your success,  then you must be wise. Foolishness is
very expensive.

Wise people use their sense, not their strength. At any point in time
if you are faced with the dilemma and have the option to use your
strength or your ‘sense’, choose to use your ‘sense.’ The industrial
age favoured those that have strength. But in the information age,
wisdom is power. The man who has the wisdom will be the one to control
those that have strength. A sage once said " I will rather out ten
people to work than do the work of ten people."

Wise people pay now and play latter. Everyday provides you the
opportunity to harvest the seeds you have planted in the past and
plant another seed for the future. It is better to suffer now and
prosper latter than to prosper now and suffer latter. And if you can
use your wisdom, you can prosper now and prosper latter.

A wise person Walks with the wise. I always believe that if you walk
and surround yourself with wise people, wisdom will come naturally to
you. One foolish friend can be a trap. The friends you hang around
with may determine your lifestyle, your taste, your attitude, and even
how much you earn.

A wise person learns how to deal with people. The world has become a
global village and your success at the workplace may be predicated on
the way you perceive, access and receive people. The basics of dealing
with people is simple. Treat other people with respect. When you treat
people with respect, they will also treat you with respect.

Wise people are master communicators. To become wise, You will need to
learn how to get your message across in the public, read and
understand the non verbal signals that people are splendid as well as
their verbal signals. You will also need to learn how to interpret
gestures and body language. 55% of communication is determined by your
body language.

Wise people make good judgment. A fraction of success is all about
doing the right thing at the right time. Wise people have the
exceptional ability to sense the right thing to do before it becomes
obvious. Making good judgment has to do with mastering the art of
decision making. The more conscious decisions you make daily, the
better decision you can make. To make effective decisions you have to
be a thinker.

Wise people think ahead. Wise people are present in the future while
ordinary people are only present in the present. Foolish people are
only stuck in the past. Wise people start every project with the end
on mind. They start every negotiation with the end on mind. That is
why they win at the negotiation table. Wise people start a relationship
with the end on mind. They start a new business venture with the end
on mind.

Wisdom has no beginning and an end. There are many ways to acquire
wisdom like the ones that I have shared with you. But to get
long lasting wisdom, you do something important. Every morning, when
you are doing your spiritual exercise, or observing your quiet time,
request for wisdom. That is the secret of long lasting wisdom. Always
remember, wisdom is what you need most in life. Wisdom is the
principal thing.
