Tue Dec 22, 2009 from Cleveland: Your wisdom

Hello, Mambo, my dear Bashir,

Only 2 hours of sleep! That's very difficult -- and for me it would be impossible to stay awake! How did you do on your afternoon shift, after only 2 hours of sleep? Did you manage to stay awake? Were you able to go home for a good long rest after that? Please tell me how you are feeling today.

For sure, beginning January 25, you will be able to focus on your Diploma course 100%. Do you know the expression "100%" -- it means "totally and completely."

Also, I want to commend you again for having such great wisdom at your young age -- for example, your wise comments on giving, which you summarized as "Giving it's not all about being RICHER, no! But it's all about being GENEROUS. Is this TRUE/FALSE?" It's very true, and I think you are very young to possess this kind of wisdom. I believe God created you this way, and I also wonder what events and people in your life have developed and intensified your wisdom. For example, your father, your mother, your teachers, or your religious leaders when you grew up in Malawi. Tell me about some of the people who encouraged you to think deeply about life.

In addition to wisdom, you also possess great brilliance of mind, also called "great intellect" or "intelligence." As you know, wisdom and intelligence are two different things. Intelligence is more about facts, research, leading, and education. Wisdom is aboutr understanding life and the deeper meanings of life.

Today is Tuesday 22 December, so any day now, your laptop should arrive at the Dar Es Salaam post office! It is addressed to Mr. Iddi. I hope to hear good news from you soon saying you have indeed received it!

May God Bless You!
Yours sincerely,
Nicole
