In life, there exists a privilege to conceal things and it’s your privilege to discover them. No one can discover the height of heaven, the depth of the earth or all that goes on in your mind.

However, if you remove obstacles and irrelevancies that come your way, you will be able to rightfully craft your trade & be able to master, rule and subdue over the universe and/or desired jurisdiction with wisdom. Wisdom that will enable you to know that timely advice and valid criticism is always treasured by the one who needs it.

Wisdom that will enable you to learn to never demand for an audience and/or push for a place among the great. You should rather wait to be invited instead of being sent to the end of the line in public disgrace.

And just because you see something, don’t be in a rush to seek for justice as you may end up going down before your neighbours in shameful defeat. It is prudent to try to discuss the matter privately without informing everyone else as others may accuse you of gossip.

Gossip that will make you to never regain your honour. In addition, falsehood is harmful to the one whom the falsehood is being propagated against.

It is prudent for you to understand that faithful messengers revive the spirit of their originator while a person who does not give a promised gift becomes a liar. That is why; placing confidence in an unreliable person is vanity whereas attempting to make someone whose heart is heavy to be in a jovial mood only exacerbates that person’s situation.

Fortunately, patience can persuade the great while soft speech can crush strong opposition. If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.

If they are thirsty, give them water to drink. You will heap burning coals on their heads and the Most High will reward you.

Remember, it is better to live in solitude than to live and/or associate with contentious people as every action always comes with a corresponding reaction. Never compromise your mission, vision, cause and honour with pollutants.

That is why in everything that you do, do it in moderation and not in perpetuity. And just as everything has to be undertaken in moderation, it is likewise not good for you to think about all the honours that you deserve.

To sum it all up, anyone who lacks self-control is always as defenceless as an unguarded territory. This book contains a collection of advices by Alfred Mbati.
