Wisdom is ultimate truth. As
such, what was true thousands of years ago should also be true nowadays; that
is, true wisdom is immortal.
Wisdom is different from
knowledge in that the latter is relevant information acquired, while the former
is the interpretation and application of knowledge assimilated and internalized
through a variety of life experiences.
Life is limited, but
knowledge is unlimited. Using what is limited to seek out the unlimited is
unwise. Yet many people seek knowledge in a futile attempt to accumulate
wisdom.
Conventional
wisdom is “conventional” in the sense that the majority of people have already
accepted it as the norm, with the implication that others should follow
suit—something like a blueprint.
However, if you wish to live an extraordinary life, you are going to have to think for yourself, do the unimaginable, and create your own definition of the reality for living--that is, living with your own wisdom, and not necessarily following the conventional wisdom or that of someone else.
The Book of Life and Living
This 190-page on wisdom in living is based on the ancient Tao wisdom from China, the conventional wisdom, and the spiritual wisdom of the Bible.
Life is short,
so make the best and the most out of it now! To do just that, you must know who
you are and what life is all about. Most importantly, you must have the wisdom
to live your life to the fullest.
Living your life
is a learning process. Real learning, however, is not just the acquisition of
knowledge. True wisdom is the ability to penetrate deeply into the meaning
behind superficial knowledge, to integrate related thoughts, facts, and
experiences into a structural framework that reveals a deeper, more synthesized
meaning than what an ordinary person perceives.
Wisdom is
internal; it comes from the inner self. Focusing on so-called goals in life,
many of us lose our true selves in the pursuit of our dreams. If you are one of
them, you must re-direct your life. If you wish to re-discover your “new” self,
or never want to go back to your “old” life, The Book of Life and Living is right for you.
Now is as good a
time as any to live your life on your own terms, instead of someone else’s
terms. Now is the time not just to think out of the box, but to create your own
box of reverse thinking. The Book of Life and Living was written just for that specific
purpose to inspire you with the wisdom in living, based on the conventional
wisdom, the ancient wisdom of Tao, and the spiritual wisdom of the Bible. Have
an empty mind, and rethink your mind!
Albert
Einstein once said: “A human being is
part of the whole called by us ‘universe,’ a part limited in time and space. We
experience ourselves, our thoughts, and feelings as something separate from the
rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is kind of
prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a
few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison .
. . . ”
One of the
objectives of The Book of Life and Living is to free yourself from the
self-imprisonment of self-delusions created by your self-consciousness, as
pointed out by Albert Einstein. This book not only explains in simple terms and
plain language how you may unconsciously create your self-limiting thoughts
that prevent you from truly understanding who you really are and what you
really want from life, but also shows you how to create a substantially new
manner of thinking through the integration of both the conventional and the
unconventional ancient wisdom.
