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.
