Knowing What to Do and Not Doing it is Tantamount to not Knowing at All. Harnessing Your skill for Greater Productivity.

Knowing what to do and not doing it is tantamount to not knowing at all

c

It’s been two years since I talked to a friend about hive. He told me earlier that he was into writing and content creation. At first, I knew that Hive would be a better place for him. However, He mentioned earlier that the platform where he does it does not pay well. He told me how much he makes from the platform. When I told him about Hive, he developed an interest because Hive has a better prospect compared to the other platform that he was. Not long after, he signed up on Hive and did his introduction post and a few other posts. Since then, he has never done anything else. I reached out to him after several weeks of inactivity, he said he was busy and gave other excuses. As I am writing this, his account is dormant, yet he complains every day of a lack of money. I know that the guy is good at writing. His creativity is top-notch notch yet he doesn’t want to put his knowledge into action, which could bring him out of his financial mess and also make others learn from his skills and talent.

A lot of people are like this friend of mine who knows how to do a thing, yet they do not want to do it. People in this category are usually indolent, and they are full of excuses. The fact is, whoever knows how to do a thing yet refuses to do it is no different to a person who knows not how to do the same thing. Whatever a person knows how to do is the same thing that could open doors of blessings and opportunities for them. Laziness is an enemy to human growth and development. Laziness deprives a person of his potential and also debars a person from achieving his/goals. One thing is obvious in a lazy person: such a person will never achieve anything tangible in their life. He is full of excuses as to why he could not do a thing. One of the things I have come to realise is that the human body needs excessive rest. That is to say, the human body does not want to work. The truth is that the body might not want to work, but you have to work anyway. One who is not ready to work should be ready to face the consequences of idleness.

Putting these two people together: the one who knows how to do a thing, let’s say a person with a skill, yet refuses to make use of their skill and the other without a skill. The two of them are rated the same on the scale of life, with no difference. Life favours those who are ready to work hard, not idleness. Every day of your life, endeavour you put whatever skill you have into action. The more you work, the more you get clarity and understanding of the skill you have. Let there be a difference between a person with a skill and the other without. This difference should be in the area of responsibilities.
