Living the laws of perfection: Your key to a successful life.
==========================================================
When i see somebody who is facing challenges be it sickness, lack, or death,i found
out upon closer look that his problem is non the less linked to the breaking of one or
more of the laws of perfection.
The laws are;
=================
* The law of Wisdom.
* The law of Guidance.
* The law of Harmony.
* The law of Grace.
* The law of the inner circle.

These laws are for our good. They are checks and balances on our excesses. They are
the compass for navigating the course of our lives. Without a compass, a navigator will
lose direction and get lost. It is my believe that calamity can not befall a person
without a reason. In other words, calamity can not befall a person without him or
someone else breaking one or all of these laws. Let us examine them one after the other.

(1) The law of wisdom.
Wisdom according to Wikipedia, is the ability to think and act using knowledge,
experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. A man of wisdom is said to be wise.
But no one is born wise. We grow to acquire wisdom. How does someone acquire wisdom? is

it
by going to school, by training or by age?
I remember when i was young. When i was in primary school, i used to play truancy. I
would leave my books at school and follow my friends to play. I roamed the streets of
Ibadan with my friends while my mates were in class. I thought this was the best of life.
Education was irritating to me. That was ignorance. If not for the timely
intervention of my father, my education would have been aborted at primary three. I would
not be writing this piece by now. The fact however remain that i suffered for this
rascality of mine even to this day. I lacked wisdom but i have ignorance in abundance.
Lack of wisdom almost cost me the opportunity to acquire education. But i gave credit to
my father, Olagunju Oginni,who took me from my mother and put me back in school. I was


able to finish my primary education under his watch.

My father though a poor farmer was wise enough to know that education is the legacy
he must give me. In order to fulfill this mission, he tied me to a pillar in the house

and flogged me until blood oozed out of my body. I was fortunate that neighbors were

able to trace the blood and rescue me. This punishment put an end to my rascality. And

i devoted myself to my study. Whenever i remember this period of my life, i concur to the

fact that there is a great difference between ignorance and wisdom. That time when my

father was mentoring me was a glorious time in my life. Unfortunately it was short lived.

I soon lost the opportunity of being mentored by my father. This loss brought me back to

the era of ignorance from which my father rescued me. How did it happen?

Further discussion on that will come in my subsequent posting. But before i drop my
pen,i will like to know your view on this poser-How does one acquire wisdom? Is it by
going to school, by training, or by age?
