Understanding Wisdom And FOREVER Appreciating The Past

Dr. Alice Tyler Milton~ Associate Dean of Business and Information Technologies Division

~ ~ Acting Director of the Small Business Center ~

~ College Webmaster/BlackBoard/Tegrity Administrator ~ Wisdom may be defined as a practical outlook to the problems of life. Wise men and women of our past and present made many sacrifices and used their life experiences to help strengthened our confidence and abilities in ourselves. Their life experiences have always been placed into words to conform our thoughts as we present ourselves to the future generation. Adhering and understanding the words help us to progress with greater opportunities to success. Words of wisdom have always had the capacity to motivate, expound, and discipline the minds of listeners. Thurman Arnold stated “Unhappy is a people that has run out of words to describe what is going on.”

Moreover, wisdom is a flourishing fountain of virtue, respect, self-assurance, and self-respect. Cultural understanding helps to nourish and keep the vision alive—no matter what generation. History has shown that the most successful leaders are those who have learned to draw upon our heritage of thought and experience. Booker T.

A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society, with a large segment of people in that society, who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that they have nothing to lose. People who have a stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it.

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.

“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Famous Quotes

SUSAN L. TAYLOR "In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change--breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place."

MADAME C. J. WALKER -- "I had to make my own living and my own opportunity--Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come; you have to get up and make them."

DR. CHARLES H. EPPS, JR. (Howard University) “I don’t consider myself brilliant, but I learned that I could work as hard as anybody to achieve what I wanted to achieve. I was willing to go without the latest jacket, sneakers or whatever. It is more important TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION.”

COLIN POWELL "There are no secrets to success: Don't waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence."

MUHAMMAD ALI "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them--a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."

GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compas-sionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these."

Tavis Smiley Famous Quotes ~ Tavis Smiley - "Remember the five "B's":

~ BE READY When your opportunity comes.

~ BE REAL

You will never be a success trying to transcend who you are. You have to embrace yourself, including your Blackness.

~ BE SMART Learn to think critically for yourself.

~ BE A SERVANT

Your generation, in many respects has it all twisted, it ain't about the ice and the bling-bling, it's about being a servant. Cornel West put it this way; you can't lead the people if you don't love the people. And you can't save the people if you don't serve the people.

~ BE HUMBLE Because the toes you step on today may be connected to the behind you have to kiss tomorrow."
