“To educate a person in mind and not in morals is

to educate a menace to society.”

Theodore Roosevelt.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” Leon C.

Megginson

Theodore Roosevelt’s statement suggest that to attain knowledge, without the existence of integrity and moral is counterproductive to the progress of a society. That is why it is of utmost importance for me to grow with value, which I believe is the key difference between knowledge and wisdom. While knowledge may refer to intellect, wisdom refers to the ability to utilise intellect for the benefit of society. This is why; I strive to attain and portray wisdom, as well as, conduct every activity with excellence, striving toward perfection. In as much as people would say perfection does not exist, we are beings that have unexplored potential; and to accept that one cannot do better, is to except that one’s skills and ability is limited and that is something I do not accept. Therefore my value system together with my intellect, creates an obligation within me to help the person standing next to me, my family, my society, my community, my corporation and my country. I consider myself a learning individual, taking great pleasure in research and the attainment of new knowledge which, in turn, I use to increase my potential wisdom. Whatever I am asked to do, I will ensure that the needs of stakeholders are best met. I have developed the ability to quickly understand what is required and am able to rely on my balanced thinking style, utilizing both the right and left hemisphere of my brain to creatively and effectively meet those requirements. This allows me to analyse concepts logically and methodically, and more importantly develop solutions that are dynamic and unconventional, creative, logical and technically sound. This has become my most admirable and defining characteristic, I am able to adapt to any situation by determining the appropriate balance between interpersonal and analytical skills that are required to be effective in said situation.
