\u2018\u2018Wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.\u2019\u2019
Proverbs 8:11 NLT
To keep learning and growing, you must recognise these: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Successful people view learning differently than unsuccessful people<\/strong>. Joshua learned from Moses. Timothy learned from Paul. Who have you chosen to learn from? Author Sydney J. Harris wrote: \u2018A winner knows how much he still has to learn, even when he is considered an expert by others. A loser wants to be considered an expert by others before he has learned enough to know how little he knows.\u2019 It\u2019s all a matter of attitude. It\u2019s truly remarkable how much a person has to learn before he or she realises how little they know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing is interesting if you\u2019re not interested<\/strong>. In Quality Is Free<\/em>, Philip B. Crosby writes: \u2018There is a theory of human behaviour that says people subconsciously retard their own intellectual growth. They come to rely on clich\u00e9s and habits. Once they reach the age of\u2026personal comfort with the world, they stop learning and their mind runs on idle for the rest of their days. They may progress organisationally, they may be ambitious and eager, and they may even work night and day. But they learn no more.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bible says, \u2018Jesus increased in wisdom and stature\u2019 (Luke 2:52 KJV). He didn\u2019t just grow physically; He grew spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. It\u2019s a tragedy when you let yourself get into a rut and never climb out; you miss out on the best that God has to offer. By contrast, teachable people are completely engaged in life. They are enthusiastic about things. They\u2019re interested in discovering, discussing, applying, and increasing. So, never stop learning and growing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2018\u2018Wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
