'Till I come, give attendance to reading’ 1st Timothy 4:13
Irrespective of your perspective, there are two sides to a coin, life is not exclusive; death and life, failure and success, false and truth, male and female, the list is endless! So be it MORTUARY and LIBRARY. They may sound alike but the definition makes the difference, a place for dead bodies; a room or building in which dead bodies are kept until they are buried or cremated is christened - mortuary but LIBRARY is a place where books are kept: a room, building, or institution where a collection of books or other research materials are kept.
The greatest opportunity is the ability to choose what to do per time, and that is what makes the difference between a successful man and a failure, we rise by desire not by default (although JESUS CHRIST had package our salvation-pack with greatness but our responsibility redefined the default to personal desires). By you action and input to your personal development are you sure you are not building a mortuary? The answer is not in “I reject it in JESUS name”, mortuary is expensive in construction but library does not need more of your money but more of your determination.
I am not out to condemn the primary definition of library but I wish to add to it. Library is more than a store and it is not only books that make up a library. A good library should contain some other educative materials like compact disks, digital video disks, and tapes, materials from the internet, flash disk and other transformational materials. All you need (wealth, health, academic excellence, good wife) is in books. The clear difference between horse-band and husband is in the literature, stop living a life of trial and error. It is better to live by the answer, success is worth sorting after and it is in the mother of all literatures-Holy Bible-the book of Joshua 1:8 gave us an ‘expo’ to prosperity and good success. Life courses are in series, endless and mandatory to as many that want to matter in life. The lecturers might not be as kind as your undergraduate lecturers, one of the lecturers is Professor ‘Experience’, he mar and make, he teaches well and very explanatory, little wonder Michael Jackson said :’the best way to learn is to watch the master at work’ but in this case you are at work and you learn in it, Professor ‘Experience’ students don’t move fast in life, most of the students repeat classes, imagine a student that fail in marriage, Professor ‘Experience’ will not let him go until he correct the error and if the student is stubborn, he will regret that moment and the scar will be another reoccurring punishment but the lecturer I love is Dr. ‘Literature’, he his kind and gives me speed. He corrects my errors without any delay in my life. He speaks before I act. Before I gained admission into university, Dr. ‘Literature’ thought me leadership and makes me thirst for it and for my five years in university I lead with good testimonies and numerous award of good and seasoned leader.
Good news, your generation pay huge amount of money to experts! My definition of experts is someone that has all needed information and enough experience. This information is what distinguishes a manger from a messenger. Ralph Waldo Emerson says “If a man can write a better book or preach a better sermon or make a better mouse trap than his neighbour, even if he build is house in the woods, the world will make a beaten to his door” You can be better off if you invest in building your library, I advice you now to Empty your purse into your Head and your purse will never be empty! A person who spend 80% of his earning on his body (physical appearance) is building his mortuary because frustration have no respect of human physique. Goliath died an embarrassing death of all his physique. Beauty is common but is needed is how knowledgeable you are.
Love literatures, liberally literature librates. 2nd Timothy 2:15 says ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God,...’ Thank God you are on the path to success with your ability to read, that you can read this life transforming article is evidence that you will succee. Bishop David Oyedepo affirmed that schooling will only make you literate (able to read and write) but your investment in literature will empower you to be a champion. So, invest your money, time and energy in reading literatures, listen to CDs, tapes and make use of the brain child of Bill Gate to born yours, don’t just read the post on your facebook wall for fun. If it takes paying for a seminar, please, do. Don’t ignore any materials, you and I knows ‘no knowledge is wasted’ knowledge have a post dated relevance and only universe goal of knowledge is to transform. Just as a wise woman will build her house so will wise human build his library, remember, information is not power but application of information is power.
