KAMAL OYEDUNLE: The New Face of Wealth

What wealth is not?

It is neither money nor paychecks
It has nothing to do with acquisitions
Its neither riches nor possessions
It is not a university degree
It is neither carnal nor spiritual
It is not demonic

Think About these

What was the budget for creation?
How did Solomon become the richest man that ever lived?
Does a university or polytechnic degree guarantee wealth?

If God does not print pounds and dollars then He must have a medium of exchange!

The Trend

The agrarian economy – crop farming, livestock production, hunting etc.
The industrial revolution – manufacturing, food processing, machine fabrication, scientific inventions and discoveries etc.
Technological advancement – telecommunication, computers, software development, robots etc.

And now…

The skillful generation

God did not create stupid people
Every being has at least a skill
Men of skills rule the world
Wisdom, knowledge, understanding, abilities and understanding are embedded in skills

INFORMATION – The principal thing

The information era is such that every man has the capacity to learn and unlearn. It is a process that must continue if we must remain relevant in this generation. It takes hard work and diligence.

The worth of a man is what he knows and how he applies his knowledge to get wealth

The challenge is to learn, learn and learn

IT SHOULD BE NOTED HOWEVER THAT MEMORIZATION AND LEARNING AREN'T THE SAME.

Learning is a process of failing forward; affecting the physical, emotional and mental faculties.

Memorization affects only the mental faculty; keeping facts and figures and storing certain chosen data in our brains.

Practical applications

Learning

An eaglet learns to soar by jumping, falling and flapping of wings.
A baby learns to walk by falling and rising

(It affects the physical, emotional and mental faculties)

Memorization

When 2 plus 2 is not 4, you have failed. What next? Punishment!
When you graduate with a pass then you are termed a failure!

The Challenge

Information is readily available in this age and it takes diligence to search and acquire the desired knowledge coupled with hands-on experience required to process it into wealth.

Therefore,
