About the Book

"Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from
the words of my mouth.
Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;
Love her, and she will keep you.
Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
Exalt her, and she will promote you;
She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
She will place on your head an ornament of grace;
A crown of glory she will deliver to you."

Those are the words of the wisest man who ever lived which I have kept in the innermost chamber of my heart and in the forefront of my consciousness day and night since the age of my spiritual awakening, at sixteen. The wisdom and the understanding I have gained from all that I have observed and reflected on since that time I have earnestly sought to apply in my life. Here's what I have noted down in over half a century of deep ponderings on all that transpired outside me and within me as I walked in that path of life.

Sample Reflections and Observations: ACCOMPLISHING "Don't look for a certain pattern, some sort of regularity or routine, in your life. You cannot have a system, a schedule, not even a daily goal. Disruptions, especially tiredness, inertia, lack of enthusiasm, and more, make your daily plans impossible. So just see how you can put your present inertia to some small use. Within what you cannot do, see what you can do. Within your languor and disclination, see if there's a trifling task you can bring your hands to tackle. Seek to live your utmost in your tiredmost state. Within the impossibility, do what is possible. Within what you do not want to do, see if there's a tiny act you want to do. Within your bland busyness, see if there's something bright worth pausing your busyness for." ACHIEVEMENT "Looking back at all your achievements, one widow or one orphan rescued from misery will be worth incomparably more in the final perspective of your life than several great multinational corporations founded by you." BEAUTY "Misuse of beauty is as disastrous and consequential as misuse of genius. The beauty of Samson's and Solomon's mistresses was as deadly as the great genius of Hitler and Stalin. Many indeed are those who would be able to account themselves well for their talents on that day. Very few indeed are those who would be commended for having glorified God more because of having been endowed with greater beauty." CHRISTIANITY "Christendom is fascinated far more by Santa's sleigh ride to Lapland than by Christ's donkey ride to Holyland." DECISIONS "Only a fool sticks to his decision at all times. Sometimes in the space of a few hours, you may have to change your mind about a matter seven times. Not so, commitment, which you should honor at any cost. Making a commitment is fraught with risks. Unforeseen sweeping circumstances, or unexpected hindering factors, could prevent your fulfilling a word of honor you gave someone in utter sincerity and with undeterred resoluteness at the time of your committal. Which is why you should strive to avoid making any commitment as far as possible and just proffer a simple 'yes' or 'no'." EAR "Isn't it amazing that the space between the top portion of the ear and the head is exactly what is needed to firmly hold a clerk's pencil or a subeditor's ballpen? Anymore and the pencil falls off at jerks of the head, and any less the ballpen is a pain in the pass." FAITH "We can never fully know how faithful God is until we have been cast into the furnace. If we are only brought to the edge of the furnace and delivered, the experience of God's absolute faithfulness is incomplete. We have to actually fall deep into the furnace, and perhaps even be scorched alive for a while, before we can know how absolutely reliable our Deliverer is." GRANDFATHERHOOD "Grandfatherhood is nature's mercy on a remorseful father."
