It's All About Estimation!
Through life, I've learnt lots of lessons, experienced variety of conditions and tolerated a good number of people. In each and every second a new moral was being explained to me by the book of life and its weird tutors, each moment was a beginning of a story underlining the end of the one before, and every single character I met proposed an outstanding canon of God's unlimited creation. It is difficult to get acquainted with everybody, yet some eminent personalities trap your attention and intentions, by their glorious attitude, and though my wisdom is yet constrained; I've been amazed by the personality of some wisemen. For, indeed, the difference between a wiseman and an ordinary one is a step, a moment and specifically a change.
In one of his stories, the writer Jack Canfield quotes a very impressive quote; he says: "The difference between a wiseman and an ordinary one, when it comes to facing challenges, is that an ordinary man always blames fate, luck or tries to come up with excuses, fearing the future. Where as a wiseman uses each obstacle to motivate himself and improve his abilities." We definitely believe in the existence of fate, luck, superior powers, and we all agree about the dominance of God, but something we all disagree about is estimating our powers and abilities.
Wisdom is not an act; it’s not just a simple description we earn after completing a certain action. Those who are called "wise" shall be worthy of the call. In life those people can be distinguished by their censorious characters and their impressive behaviors. They face challenges just like having fun, stand up for their rights and the rights of the oppressed ones; they speak only that which is necessary to be spoken; they keep secrets; they work with honor, self esteem and respect; they protect their honesty and cherish God's words above all. Wise people are those who put an aim before their eyes and draw the tracks to follow a planned trajectory. Thus, wisdom is more than just an adjective; it's our prolific road to a brilliant nation on the other hand, ordinary people are not unique. They might be good and respectful but they need few steps to become wise. Many characteristics related to the wiseman's personality can be present in an ordinary man's are? Righteous manners and behaviors might also characterize his overall attitude, but when it comes to challenges, the difference occurs. Most of us, ordinary people, try to find excuses for our mistakes. We start coming up with reasons, inventing stories, drawing actions, and honestly we just try to cover up on our guilt. We, some other times, blame others, blame luck, condemn fate, or even blame God! By nature, man is designed to fall in problems, commit mistakes and face obstacles, but the ability to stand up back again and continue stronger than before is what cultivates wise man's reputation. This ability is what an ordinary man lacks!
We are all prone to making mistakes and condemnation is only God's authority. For we are going to live once; we shall be able to benefit from each single moment we live on this planet. This benefit can only occur by tolerance, learning, loving, and optimistic living. We must at first surrender for Gods rebuking power above all; then we might find in our hearts the seeds of wisdom, water them by love, nourishing them by caring; then they will grow and their shadows will guide our ways to better behavior's, manners, attitudes and embellishing our nations with flowers of wisdom and knowledge.
