Learning is wonderful. We should all strive to learn. I am all for those that are open to learning. The desire to learn is as important as what we are learning.
It is good to learn, but what we need to know and ask is, ”What are we learning?” For anyone who is learning how to scam, of course, he is learning, but the effect and the benefits of that learning are as important too. What are you learning? How are you applying the things you are learning or you have learned?
Apart from the fact that we should have a desire to learn, and be sure of what we are learning. Another thing to be conscious of is to know how, when and where to apply those things. These things are so important.
Not all that we have learned should be applicable too, and if we must apply it, wisdom is profitable.
I watched a Hollywood movie several years ago. Way too long. In that movie, a boy was accused of something which he didn’t do, and I think others thought he did too. He felt his parents would stick by him but he got home only to see confrontations with his parents. To stand his ground, he said “Having others doubt me is bad, but having my parents doubting and not trusting me is worse. I will be fine”, then he stormed into his room. The father felt so bad and from his reaction, you would know he felt so guilty.
Few years after, I was in my second or third year I think. My late dad sent me some money but I used it back then to get some materials needed for a course. So after few days, I requested another and he questioned why I still need more. I explained to him again but he felt I must have dashed the money out or used a big chunk of it to get recharge cards for calls.
I felt bad he didn’t believe me, so after the call, I sent a text to him, in the words of that boy that I watched in that movie. Hahaha. Ouch. I seem to have forgotten in am from Africa, Nigeria to be precise hahaha. I got a whole load down of lectures on how not to be disrespectful and it takes me going home to see him before he could smile and ask me not to leave school permanently. Hahaha.
He was a very funny and jovial man, he would have taken that joke, but he was in pain. He was sick which I didn’t know (which led to his death), and they kept it away from me so I could focus. Going home made me know. So, I pulled the wrong time to showcase what I learned.
Okay, let me stop right here, I am getting a little bit emotional. I will look for the right time to share my story about him and my late mum too.
So, what we learn matters, as much as how we apply the things we learn. We should all be deliberate and sensitive to the application of the things we learn.
Let me stop right here.
Thank you for your time.
