INTELLECTUALITY
The word intellectuality is a colloquialism and can also mean intellectualism which is someone’s ability to think or reason logically and understand things. Creativity which is the mother of productivity has been tied to intellectual engagement or the ability to engage your mind in logical reasoning/thinking. Before any thing is birthed in life, it’s first of all conceived in the confine of your heart and received in your imagination.
When it comes to you, it comes as an idea which is to be allowed to be nurtured. Nurturing an idea is pondering over it; its achievability and the ways to go about it. If it stays in the confine of your mind for a long time without doing anything about it even when conditions for its achievability present themselves favorably, it dies.
Any achievement in the fields of science, technology, medicine, economy etc obtained in our world from the ancient time till today has been linked to idea(s), it’s not just an idea(s) but a well cultivated, nurtured and translated ones into reality, visibility for usability of mankind. Mark these words from me, “It is not enough to dream but to fulfill is the key thing in life”. “Whatever you can conceive, believe, confess, pursue, you can achieve”. Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb did not stop on the first step of dreaming, he transversed all the steps and even have to repeat its experiment time and times again.
God, the creator of all things conceived in his heart an idea to send Jesus (His only begotten son) to the world for the salvation of mankind from sin and satanic oppression, He didn’t stop at the level of conception of the idea/dream but released His only son to come and die for the remission of our sins.
To be an intellectual giant you must be objective i.e think straight and logically without allowing anything either pain or gain blur your judgment.
(2) Open yourself to new information; information is the building block of knowledge and knowledge is power of; the more you know the more your “ledge” (organized you are), the more of God you know, the more of Him you enjoy, the more of principle of nature you know and obey, the more of nature’s untapped resources you tap.
A lot of benefits are embedded in intellectual pursuit e.g riding high in life, (2) Earning life’s sustenance trough what you know (3) enjoying God, (4) Becoming a blessing not a burden to your world. (5) Nation’s building
Recommendation: literary debate, essay writing, positive thinking must be allowed in our schools and ivory towers, objective in law making in both local and national assembles.
