LEARNING FROM PEOPLE YOU NEED IN LIFE. BY REV.A.A ASEMOTA

Ecclesiastes 10:10.

What is learning? Learning is an act in which something is learnt. It is accumulative knowledge. Our text can be interpreted like- if you have an axe with a dull blade and you are chopping wood, it will take more energy to do it but if the axe is sharp (which represents your skill in the verse ) then it takes less strength and effort to fell a tree. This means you have to work smarter by learning.

Your education does not end with your final examination in school. Learning is your life God wants you to grow and learn so you can be a better you. Learn every day. Learning will make you a better leader, a better parent, a better husband/ wife, a better friend and a better entrepreneur and make you more effective in your job. Learning brings both success and profit to the business minded person.

Rise up and learn new skills, new information. Take a class, read books, talk to a mentor and attend seminars.

God created us blessed, special and unique. We were created to fulfil heavenly mandate to be able to be the kind of persons we are created to be, we need people who will teach us, share the live with us, invest in us and encourage us to grow.

Who are those we can learn from? Proverb 13:20.

1. Mentors: these are coaches. No one person can teach you everything you need to know. One person will teach you in one aspect and an other in some thing else.

2. Role models: these are people who are already doing or have done what you want to to

3. Partners: you need co- workers and colleagues who are in your profession, people to support and challenge you on what God want to do through your life.

4. Friends: friends do not necessary help with your goals. They are just friends. A good friend walks into your life when everything else walk out. Do not walk lonely on your life journey.
