Courage without wisdom.
I think there's something we humans should all note.
Today I'll like us to see into Courage and Wisdom
Courage
First if all, what is Courage?
To me, I'll say Courage is the ability to face the world even when you're wrong or right, even when the world is at your face staring straight into your face.
Another word for Courage is bravery.
Courage is the spirit that helps you triumph in a battle, despite the fact that it's doesn't include physical strength. Its that mind and thinking of possibilities and positivity that over powers all negativity.
Courage is a spirit, a very powerful one, just like Rage, Love, Arousal, hatred, instincts etc.
You can be very courageous yet lacking physical strength, but the courage which is the believe/faith keeps you going.
Haven't you wondered why/how little/skinny/fragile people have great accomplishment, people with little and fragile body but rugged and stubborn mind. Not just stubborn though, it's also the process of wanting to try a new thing, regardless of the harm that may Befall them, the act of taking risks and approaching people with higher standard, seeking for advice not caring if you're going to be ignored.
Courage is power.
Wait for a second, before I continue...
Have you seen Mark Zuckerberg
, I know you possibly may have not seen him to face, but you must have heard about him, and seen couple of his pictures a million time, if you don't know him or have not seen him, just hearing about him now, go to Google search, and type Mark give space and type Zu...., It will automatically complete his name, reason for this is because he his a man of Goodwill/integrity...
He is the founder and owner of Facebook and his name will continue to be remembered even after he dies, because he was courageous enough to give it a try, not having less hope that people will buy into what he's putting out, he may not be expecting so much though, but the fact that he thought about it and attempted it and it became progress is Courage, and it's something that should be commended.
Have you ever considered asking yourself how old this guy was when he first created Facebook?
Have you asked yourself how old he was when he made his first million?
Between the age of 19 and 25 Mark Zuckerberg was already a multi millionaire...
Why?
Because he was courageous to give a try to something he has never tried before in his life... After all, he's not the founder of social media, there was Myspace, Bebo
and the likes but he thought of something he could do that will over power those other existing sites, he wasn't scared or unsure that his platform will be same as the ones he know, he executed his plan when he was in college and it worked out... At that very early age... So think.
How old are you now?
Indeed it's a shocking question right?, You don't need to reply that in the comment session, I just need you to think about it and see for yourself that you've not been courageous all along, you know what may possibly get you little income but you're incourageous to give a try, because you have negative feeling that it may not work out, because a friend did it and it ended up as nothing doesn't mean it won't work out for you, the friend that did it and stopped half way was not courageous enough, so learn from the mistake he made, don't imitate it...
Remember, there's no harm in trying...
Have you heard of Wizkid?. A popular Nigerian music celebrity...
Wizkid hit the Platinum at a very tender age of 19 to 25 and now he's one of the most populous musician in the world, all because of courage, he's highly respected by older artists who can boast of giving birth to a boy of his age or a bit older, they respect him in spite his young age...
This is like a great privilege for me to say this; it's not him they respect though, it's is Courage and integrity.
They respect him because they were not able to attain much as he has done during their own prime, and now again he has achieved even more than what they have made in their life time in just a short period of years.... That's courage for you.
Some people may disagree with me in this and say its only luck but I totally disagree, because he decided to make the move at that early age which is very rare, Wizkid is like the major reason why we have so many little guys going into music, believing they can also make it as he did.
I hope we all understand the impact of courage now, I'm sure we do... But do you know its not only courage that gets you to where you need/want to be?
Wisdom
Wisdom has another great role to play.
Wisdom is that insight that you have, the divine inclination from above.
It's the ability to think about a plan to carry out, wisdom is the knowledge acquired from the world and the things you read and learnt from great people in their past lives.
It's also the lessons you've learnt from your past mistakes...
Wisdom is a very great thing in have, if you're wise and intelligent there are so many things you can achieve in life If you have the courage to carry it out.
Do you realise Wisdom is different from knowledge? But it's the application of knowledge wisely in what ever you do.
Now is not the time to explain that, I'll talk about that in another post.
Courage without wisdom
Having wisdom without courage is as useless as having courage without wisdom.
You may have the natural courage to confront any difficulty, the ego to always want to do, the seriousness and believe that you can actually accomplish, but it can never be manifested excellently if you are not wise enough to execute it or manage it.
So is wisdom; if you have the wisdom and inclination to an idea, you may be discouraged by people you see that fail at it and that's the biggest form of being uncourageous.
So both works together somehow... I hope to continue on this topic some other time because it's a thing that really interest me and affect a whole lot of people....
