Islands of
Life
An
Interaction about Wisdom
Islands of
Life- Island -1- Mind
A young man was engaged in a
conversation with an elderly person, during the conversation the young man
asked "How can a person attain Wisdom?"
The elderly person said "there
is no explicit process or an event that can help a person attain Wisdom, but by
reflecting and realising on certain Experience in life we can attain Wisdom.
Remember, Neither Wisdom is confined
to one area of life nor it is attained forever.
However, in order to understand how
people, attain Wisdom, I will take you on a mental journey to various islands
of life, where we can pick up certain pearls of wisdom.
Every endeavour in life is like a new
departure, the first island from where we depart is place where we can either
pick up the pearl called open mindedness or close mindedness.
You will be wondering why close
mindedness is pearl!
Read it further to understand why I
termed it as a pearl.
The journey of many endeavours starts
from the mind, your mind can either be open or closed, which determines your
Biases towards events or people.
If you realized your open mindedness
helped you to progress it is a pearl, if you realized your closed mindedness
delayed your journey it's a pearl too.
When you reflect, realize and learn
from either being open minded or closed minded, you have attained a wisdom on
the power of mind.
The young man was engrossed in the
discussion and asked "What is the next island in the journey?"
The elderly person smiled and said
" Reflect on the first island, I will set the sail to next island"
The sail to second island starts,
buckle your life jackets
