It’s better to have a great imagination than to be highly schooled

This kind of creativity should be fostered in primary schools as well as creative writing

Great imagination is better than to be highly Schooled. However the general consensus is that the highly schooled are better therefore assume the higher places of influence in this world. Meanwhile the world was built by great imaginations and continues to evolve for the better due in part to inventors and great engineers alike not the highly schooled people.
By and large many think that to be regarded as educated involves going to school to receive formal education, including attending institutions of further education to receive the highest degrees of learning even a PhD. This process is called schooling and those who achieve the highest degrees are well schooled. To be well schooled it’s a matter of having a good brain capable of memorising data.

Meanwhile the definition of education includes those who have acquired a certain amount of experience and having or showing cultivation. Therefore to be well educated doesn’t only mean a person who has gone under a rigorous process of schooling. A perfect example of someone who is well educated but never went to school is that of Jacob Zuma- the fourth President of South Africa. Despite having no formal education he became, to some extent, a successful president. History is full of such men who accomplished remarkable things despite having been schooled for instance Harrison Ford and many other college dropouts like Kanye West who built billion dollar empires.

Be obsessed and be idiotically confident

First off I digress, it’s been a while I know but I’m back and I promise to give you more words. For in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, however mine word is not from the mountain top.

Back to my word: Work doggedly and be idiotically confident to rise to the loftiest heights.

Following my previous posts, someone contacted me and said there is nothing wrong with wanting more and argued that our Heavenly Father wants us to be prosperous. I 100% agree and that’s why it is important to create value in whatsoever you desire or choose to do for it is written in Luke chapter 12 that to whom much is given much is expected. Many acknowledge this by making donations or contributions towards various causes and that’s creating value. Your business could create value directly or indirectly. If your objective is to create value you will not view charity as a contribution or donation but as an investment.

⁃The greats and the succetssful people are arguably jewels in a crown, they do not only make the world go round but also make the world a liveable place.

⁃Be obsessed or be mediocre: unending desire to create something: be idiotically confident.

⁃without the capacity to work tirelessly or to be obsessed you can never be great. Obsession and steadfastness are key attributes here, better yet anyone in a functional state of mind can have them. You don’t need any qualifications whatsoever to acquire them. For example who thought a guy with no formal education could lead a successful nation. It has been said that Jacob Zuma of South Africa had no formal education but self taught. He did not only serve one term but two terms (forced resignation before the second one ended). Before he came to power he was already a successful man even one of the wealthiest figures in Africa. His flamboyance is expressed by his many well looked after concubines and swag. It’s fair to acknowledge that he had worked tirelessly to get to the pinnacle before the government corruption allegations. When he made a silly mistake particularly when delivering speeches he would use his charisma to destruct people in order to take they eyes off him.

⁃Along the road to the top they gon be haters and naysayers, use those as fuel to keep at it even to up your game. Does this sound familiar “I love you the way you are so don’t try to be something you not” or “slow down will you and don’t stress it’s not good for your health” or “don’t compare yourself to others” or “relax a bit, take some time off”

⁃many people will tell you that the obsession of success or greatness is not a good thing. However each and everyone has some greatness in them, own your greatness.

⁃Obsession will allow you to keep pressing forward to the next best thing. The best not only for yourself but also the wider community

⁃If you use the same innocents and energy you had as a child you will never go wrong. Without honesty and integrity you may end up falling from the pinnacle like Zuma.

pray to god like your life depends on him and work even harder like peoples lives depend on you
