The audacity of knowledge


you are slave to what you don't know.It can do you anyhow
Virtually,all that is worthwhile we know,we learnt.An American philosopher and great Librarian John Dewey,once said,'As raw as in the mind as we are when born,no better than vessels with souds is more less a slave to ourselves that we need learning for self conquering and independence even as we go soundless as vessels so filled...,..''''
.This great educator and philosopher has in a vastly figurative manner hammerd on the keynotes of why studying is indispensable.The audacity of learning is so great that it decodes unacceptable conceptions and encodes into us civily alienable and appreciated conduct.Of course the style of the contemporary induction training we undergo in our various social and academic environment assumes a common nature.Their is nothing one knows that he did not learn.The learning is most times involuntary as it seems we are conditioned to do this,such sagacity exhibited CHrist when he said that my people perishet because of lack of knowledge,hence,one could say that the expenditure of time consciously or in oblivion(the way mainline cultures were ingrained into us)into learning is as natural as sleep,man's gregarity,and thinking.The vitality of learning is so clear as it even dwells around us that it would neither require special occassion nor emphasis to be tressed intoto. WHAT HAS KNOWLEDGE DONE FOR MAN? Learning is the foundation of knowledge.We obtain knowledge through learning.Although,wisdom operates,it doesn't fully blossom without knowlegde,hence the power of learning as the driver of knowledge which realistically manifest wisdom. CONQUERING ONESELF. What we know and our ability to coax those of them we are privileged to even know has of utmost reality led us out of our immensly limited closet-our most natural realm.A realm of ghostly life,a realm of unexpressed potentials,a realm of procastination,a realm of fear of success,a realm of fear of fairlure,a realm of ignorance,Goaless living,a realm of inability to consummate our essence of existence.........et al.Hence with knowledge,it was made crystal clear that life is simple,manipulable and most importantly surportive to those who are willing to harness the power of imaginative thinking,ingenuity,in alliance with their area of strength(bent)to make the most of this mother earth and have their landmarks inscribed thereon adinfinitum.Definitly,we earn for ourselves before containing our folks and then progressively,our kins and lastly our society if our light bears the temerity to dispel a national or societal darkness.But,honestly,all bears because life is a principled enterprise whose length of goodness unto men highly depends upon their level of application of this time proven principles for living,hence,blame a man who failed and blame more he who failed more.life is like every other processional activity.Not constant.Bears many pictures and offers alot to alot as it bears.It depends on what you want.Life is like a house,which prior to the thought of it's erection,was planned,projected,budgetetd,implemented,monitored and lastly controlled.Every achievement,attainment starts with a mantal blueprint.An inspired mindly simulation of what you can and is capable of doing.Then it is written out,planned and boldly followed.This mental stage if not driven by fantasy often portrays a picture of our dexterial self.Our real bent now at struggle with our temperament and some other worldly mindly blemish casting doubts on this divine inspiration on us.Then come varied eruptions that all men of present influence encountered and floored and is famed,and is nobled,and you envied,still the least of what they duelled and defeated gives us mightful challenge.I tell you,this is the influence of a written plan(goal).Points of focus constructed to rule over them.Be their obsession,director and controller in conjuction with other time assured principles that works systematically to outcome a man that conquered self.
