Knowledge

There are times I wonder why and how some people could be soaked in stupidity and yet claim that they are the wisest people on earth. When questions on matters relating to their stupidity arise, they tend to even exhibit their stupidity in the highest order.

Life brings goodness and knowledge to those who seek it, not those who fight for it. Human beings owe their selves the gift of knowledge which is actually by their fingerprint. How well you source for it determines how far you will go.

There's no magic in enriching oneself. It takes nothing more than dedication and determination.
