JUST A SIP

Do YOU Despise Wisdom?

“The Parables of Solomon the son of David king of Israel, To know wisdom, and instruction, to understand the words of knowledge, To receive instruction to do wisely, by justice and judgment and equity, To give unto the simple sharpness of wit, and to the child knowledge and discretion. And wise man shall hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels, To understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” Proverbs 1:1-7 (GNV).

Thirty-Three Discoveries

taylorjamesalbert

While finishing a degree I had started several years ago, one of my course assignments was to list thirty-three things I discovered as a result of returning to school. Obviously there had been lots of years and lots of learning between the start and finish dates of this degree. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys learning to return to college. It is well worth the opportunity of challenging yourself to grow. Enjoy!

  1. That my gut instinct in many things in life has been right.
  2. That life is all about learning, growing, and caring.
  3. That success is more about how you succeed than if you succeed.
  4. That how you play is more important than if you win.
  5. That I have improved my writing and thinking skills.
  6. That I still (if not more than before) desire to become a writer.
  7. That each of us is made up of many fine qualities, along with some not so fine qualities.
  8. That to fall asleep at night knowing I’ve given my best.
  9. That there are many, many ways of looking at things.
  10. That I am very blessed.
  11. That a leader encourages growth.
  12. That a controller is not a leader, but a failure despite the numbers or the scores.
  13. That I want to continue growing, developing, learning, and loving.
  14. That I still have so very much to offer.
  15. That I am ever so grateful for those difficult times, people, and situations in my life, though painful, I have grown through the experiences and often despite the experiences.
  16. That I still love learning.
  17. That ones walk does talk louder than ones talk talks.
  18. That the most important person to trust is yourself, which in doing so, then allows trust in others.
  19. That failure is not failure, but one step closer to success.
  20. Did I mention that I am blessed, life is good, and I am very glad?
  21. That I am rediscovering myself again.
  22. That integrity still wins the day.
  23. That there is still hope.
  24. That because I believe there is still hope, there is.
  25. That I do indeed have a purpose uniquely my own.
  26. That maybe I already knew all of this, but that it has been such a rewarding experience having had this opportunity and to realize it, once again.
  27. That the Golden Rule is still worth its weight in gold.
  28. That we are all at different places in life, which is exactly where we are supposed to be.
  29. That coming from the heart is the best, truest, and most sincere place from which to begin.
  30. That being real, not perfect, but real, is the only honest and best place to start.
  31. That wisdom comes with experience and experience comes with age.
  32. And for all of this, I am forever thankful.
  33. Who knew?
