Doing the right thing in seeking knowledge

Knowledge has no boundaries. It is compulsory for every human to seek knowledge, there is a great difference between just passing exams and knowledge acquisition. I can decide to take on a course, write exams and pass, but the question is, have I acquired knowledge?, have I been impacted by whatever I have studied? To attain knowledge you will need the following attributes(endurance, persistence, patience follow instructions.) You will not attain knowledge while you are in comfort and ease .When you say to yourself ”I can’t”, it pulls down your motivation, funny enough what you think you can’t do is what you can actually do best when the attributes of learning is adopted. The taught of I can do better energizes you.
Do not let anything derail you from learning , its not easy, nothing worthwhile is.
When you type the keyword “how to” on a search engine, you get lots of options, there are many courses online but the determination to learn is out of place.You spend most of your time on the internet chatting and surfing stuffs that will not positively impact you. When will you make good use of the facilities(time ,internet, phones)you have?. Learning is greater than any grades.

Doing the right thing with acquired knowledge

Why do you seek knowledge? We tend to amass knowledge but to what benefit?. And remember no knowledge is a waste!. Knowledge is meant to be of positive impact in you. The real object of knowledge is not by just learning, it is buy putting it to work and it bringing fort fruit for you and to others benefit(the society), it is by reflecting on your day to day activities, it is by you applying it in your deen.
Scholars the likes of shiek mufti menk.Billionaires, the likes of Bill gates and Elon Musk did not get successful by being spectators. The former and the latter acquired knowledge and not just that, they put it to work. The product of their knowledge has a great impact on the people.
You live a transient life, but the impact of your knowledge out-lives you. The knowledge you have amassed is pointless when not utilized. Make adequate use of it!.

Conclusion:

"Knowing is not enough we must apply.Willing is not enough we must do." - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Procrastination holds you back, do it now!. Don’t just do the right thing, do it at the right time.
