Amongst the numerous ways we learn; we learn by INSTRUCTIONS other times we learn by OBSERVATION. There are a thousand and one things i can mention that i have learned by mere observation. Sometimes you need to become your own LIFE COACH, your own MENTOR, your own LEADER. Permit me to share something i recently OBSERVED [no pun intended] from a particular religious organisation or denomination. This denomination has a signature pattern of grooming''...that thou mayest observe to do..."
its leaders. Usually they go out in groups of twos - the duo often times comprise a more mature [experienced] person and a relatively younger [greenhorn] person. The idea is that the young protege not only learns the rudiments of the task by the INSTRUCTIONS he receives but also gleans wisdom from the more seasoned person by OBSERVING the mannerisms of the pro. It is no surprise that they are propagating with the quickness!
Jesus Himself declared that He did what He saw the Father DO [John 5:19]. He necessarily implied that He not only acted on the Father's words but also on His deeds. The eyes and the ears are principal media of learning in my ever humble opinion. This is because you learn a lot by what you hear and what you see. Little wonder Jesus was always eager to return the sense of sight to blind men - in fact one of the most predominant miracles of Jesus throughout His earthly ministry was the healing of blind eyes.
This INSIGHT underscores the significance of exposure. Now you see why multi-nationals are not always eager to let their more experienced staff go or have a large turnover of staff because such people have amassed vital experience over the years. Also for students who miss lectures, you will agree with me that they struggle in the examinations not because they are not intelligent but they did not get the subtle emphasis the lecturer passed on by his voice inflection. If they were present, they would have been able to tell where the man's areas of concentration will originate from by his demonstrations. On another piece, i promise to expound more INSIGHTS about non-verbal communication.
"...where there is no vision [eye-sight, fore-sight and in-sight] the people perish..."
So when you come into a place, don't wait to always be instructed; just put on your goggles and start looking around!
Thanks Aplenty
Have yourselves an INSPIRED LIFE!
