The awesome creation under the reality of our nature constantly reminds us of our limitation in comprehension. Knowledge is light and Ignorance is darkness. Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue. There are no possessions like knowledge, and no poverty like ignorance. All Human living in a position of ignorance, the unknown is much larger than known. Therefore, the infinite of unknown magnify our finiteness. All we know is what we learn from someone or somewhere. All we learn is not all there is to know. No matter what we know, how much we know, still we don’t know everything. What we don’t know is much greater than what we already know. God’s truth is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different. Be an explorer of God’s truth (revelation). It takes knowledge for me to write this. But knowledge alone is not sufficient for the virtues life. We must know the truth. That’s why Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13:2: “If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” Think hard. But know that it’s not enough. Paul says even if he had all knowledge but didn’t love, he would amount to nothing. In other words, you can be brilliant and worthless. Your brilliance is worthless if you’re not building up your brother—and even worse if you’re destroying him with your knowledge. So when you look at people, do you love them? Truth is not to weaken others but to strengthen them. Not to tear them down but to build people up. That’s what love does.

There are two ways of learning knowledge: Reason & revelation. Revelation is truth that we cannot know by reason. Bible begins with God’s thoughts “Let there be light”. A thought is a silent word. Thus, a word is an exposed thought. Everything in life starts in the form of a thought. When a person takes God’s thoughts and puts it on action, that person is a visionary. When a visionary becomes a missionary, we have a person who is going to transform the world with truth.

 

When you show up to class, it tells your professor that you take the class seriously by making the effort to be there. That’s great! However, attendance has far more benefits to your actual learning. Attending class helps you do the following:

• 
  Make connections between concepts. During class lectures and discussions, your brain will find connections to the assigned reading, previous class meetings, and your own life experiences. These connections serve as the foundation of learning!
  
• 
  Benefit from the professor’s experience. Your professors share examples, stories, and real-life applications of concepts that make information easier to understand and remember.
  
• 
  Learn from your peers. In-class discussion allows you to hear different perspectives and different ways of understanding concepts. (Your peers will also benefit from your in-class contributions!) Some of your classes will have active group work facilitated by your faculty and peer Learning Assistants, which are opportunities to test your understanding and teach concepts to others.
  
• 
  Anticipate exam questions. Concepts or ideas emphasized by your professor during class can indicate the importance of certain facts, concepts, or processes. On occasion, your professor may even say during class, “This is something you really need to know for the exam.”
  
• 
  Gain clarity on course assignments. While your course syllabus outlines the major assignments, professors often provide new information or clarification about upcoming assignments during class, typically in response to students’ questions.
