Man Know Thyself by RandomBlad: 8:39am On Oct 02, 2014
Man know thyself
An unexamined life is not worth living"
The famous words of Socrates
To unravel the mystery in that mantra
Self-circumspection is the most obtrusive idea
And self-check becomes the inevitable
Many do not know themselves
Many do not know their seasons
Most do not know their raison d' entre
For when a man knows himself
He is meticulous and careful
And comfortably averts trouble and upheavals
For when a man knows
He is not fecund in money handling
He shall never accept a secretary role
And when a man knows he is not handy in
communication
He shall turn down the oratory role
For self-circumspection annihilates embarrassment
And assuages vituperations and vitriol
For when a man knows not himself He knows not his
purpose and
He knows not his area of potency
For when a man knows not himself He knows not his
Achilles-heel
Or the chink in his armour
For when a man knows not himself He knows not how
many arrows he has in his quiver
And he knows not how much gas he has in his vehicle of
life
For when a man is ignorant of himself
He knows not when to articulate , and when to
'meticulate'
Man know thyself
Man know thy season
Man know thy strength
For when a man knows himself
He knows when to work and when to play
And when to plant and to harvest
A man who knows himself cannot be held by the lasso of
ignorance or ensnared by the noose of failure
For self-circumspection aggrandizes aptness,mitigates
shock and adhocracy
And pulverizes complacency and cocksureness
Man know thyself
Man know thy heyday
Man know thy lacuna
Man know thy hiatus
Man know thy area of knack,dexterity,and
Immaculateness
Man know thy area of ineptitude,impotency and
'talentlessness'
For when a man knows himself
He knows when to be parsimonious and altruistic
niggardly or generous
when to be frugal and a blind giver
or when to be penurious and exorbitant
For a man who knows himself
Has little or no regrets
For his life is planned and endorsed
By the Master
A man who self-circumspect's listens to the voice
beneath and acts with precision
For a man who knows himself
Seldom Dillydallies
For when a man knows himself
He knows just what to do
When to operate visibly or surreptitiously
over the radar or below the radar
When to pray or play
And when to read and sleep
Man know thyself
An unexamined life is not worth living!!!
