[To be teachable is a blessing]

Being self-conscious of your knowledge limit is one of the brightest measures to gauge oneself with honesty by, to avoid embarrassment and self-hurt. It’s not to say that you need to lower your esteem or develop inferiority complex attitude towards self, no, but simply being reasonable with self for your level of knowledge. To not know and declare it is much wiser than to not know but hide it in that there’s danger alone in doing so.

What people should realize is that if one doesn’t know it doesn’t say they are foolish or stupid, or worthless. What non-knowledge of something should be seen as is an opportunity to learn and as nothing below that. Anything that’s new to you presents a chance for something new to know. If only we looked at things like that in a different light then we would’ve been far off as a nation, and also wouldn’t be looking at someone who’s non-knowing differently.

Our attitudes are clouted by unnecessary thoughts to life and its things. What others say about life and its things also influence the thinking machinery in us. If we take life as it is and be still in it then we wouldn’t treat one another same way we do like it is always. We need to remember that our understanding of things and people won’t be same and so is our education levels, and should respect that. Some of us lack that very basic education of understanding the outer workings of education in its uniqueness that makes us interesting beings we are and you a unique subject of interest.

In conclusion: to be available for a learning process is a big favour unto self and an extended benefit for the nation as a whole. What you learn is a positive thing for not only you and your akins, but for the industry you’re in too. The gains of education are huge if your soul and spirit are wholly invested in it, should you allow for self to be teachable. Know that to be teachable is a blessing in that you attract good things to self that in the end gives you growth that morphs your importance as a person you are. Be teachable, and you’ll see what a blessing it is...dp
