I have discovered that life is no brainer if you have and apply your common sense. You don't have to be a University graduate to have common sense. With common sense, you can succeed in business, relationship and in your finances.
I don’t know if Jacob in the bible was educated or not, but here was a man who used his intelligent to make a difference in his life after his master had cheated on him several times.
By wisdom of his dream, he learnt to leveraged on the “speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats,” for his hire, after Leban has cheated him many time and would not settle him. But with common sense, he succeeded in business and relationship, and marriage with his uncle. Genesis 30:27-34
When the unjust steward was relieved of his duty, he didn’t allow that to bother him for too long. He quickly launched out an idea of what to do next when he discovered he could not dig or beg. He quick walked up to all the debtors of his master and made them to pay up their debts immediately by reducing writing off a good chunk of the debt so that they could pay the remaining part. And they all paid. That is wisdom. That was tactics. This way, he succeeded in busines and in relationship with his clients, creditors. Luke 16:3-9.
There are hundreds if not thousands of graduates out there without job. On the flipside, there are hundreds if not thousands of illiterates and undergraduates who has created good jobs for themselves through the use of common sense.
Whoever you are, whatever condition you find yourself, the word of God says that “...Wisdom is profitable to direct.” Ecclesiastes 10:10. When you are wise, you will know what to do to get out of any condition. You will be able to apply your common sense to succeed in business, relationship and in your finances.
Anyone can come up with the creativity or resourcefulness that will turn things around for him whether they are illiterate or educated, including you. “We are born with five senses –touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. But successful people have a sixth sense –commonsense. Common sense is gained in spite of, not necessarily as a result of, education.” Uju Onyechere
In conclusion, I want you to reflect on the words of Robert Green Ingersoll:
It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.
