Day 344 of wisdom
“The things which are most important don't always scream the loudest.”
Bob Hawke
Wisdom, it is said to be the principal thing, meaning, of all virtues a man must have, wisdom supercedes all, but one thing about wise men is this, they are never seen or heard to talk about their wisdom, they never brag about the depths of knowledge they possess, but their deeds, acts, actions, and utterances will tell you what they are made of. It is not so for the foolish man. The foolish man goes about blabbing about what he has, thinking himself to be wise but unknowingly declaring and propagating his foolishness.
People who know nothing or the least about a thing are most times the most outspoken on that subject, they always want to be heard despite their awareness of how little, and shallow their knowledge of such things are, they are not interested in making a difference or bringing a solution to whatever problem that is to be solved, all they are concerned about is to be heard. Still waters run deep, they say, but shallow rivers always produce so much sound. Empty cans, when dropped on the ground makes a lot of noise, but drop a can filled with substance on that same spot, it will make very little sound.
Rich men are never seen to show off their wealth or ever interested in anything of such, but poor men always want to show off the latest item they acquire, they want the world to know what they have, but they have so little to show off. A talkative soon runs out of meaningful words and continues uttering stupid and irrelevant words, but a knowledgeable man is of few words. It is not in the quantity of words, it is the quality that matters; it is not in the lengthy of time spent with someone or on something, it is in the effect made.
In everything you do be careful not to attach more importance to blabbing, never be deceived by the noise, but take your time to know and discover the things which are most important. Don't be a noise maker yourself, but always endeavour to prove your worth, and why you should be a choice. Never force people into accepting or believing who you are or what you said, make them do so through what they see and hear. Fill yourself with knowledge, information, and solutions, and you will be sought after, be known for your content not for your noise.
