Since Wealth Is The By Product of Wisdom (Or Intelligence) We Should Pursue WISDOM (INTELLIGENCE) All The Days Of Our Lives.
“WISDOM IS THE SUPREME THING; THEREFORE GET WISDOM: YES, THOUGH IT COSTS ALL YOU HAVE, GET WISDOM (Proverbs 4:7 Calvin Tan’s Trans).“
The 3 Vital Factors For Wisdom Are 1)Concrete Desire 2) Hardware (Pure Protein Food) & Wise Books, Wise People & Personal Observation.
1) CONCRETE DESIRE FOR SEEKING INTELLIGENCE.
My father hailed from Fukien, China. He came from an extremely poor family. His family could not afford to pay for his school fees. However he told me this did not deter his zeal for learning. When the teacher wrote on the blackboard the children followed by writting on their note books in Class.
He stood outside the classroom window and watched. For pencil he used a stick. And the yellow clay floor is where he practised his writing. Such was his desire for learning. In later years he told me that among the tens of thousands of characters in the Chinese Newspaper only less than 5 words he could not understand.
2) HARDWARE (Pure Protein Brain Food)
The Year Was 1975. The Place – Bible College in Singapore. Among the curriculum was the Greek Language. The Bible was written in Hebrew (Old Testament) & Greek(New Testament). I had trouble mastering the Malay Language. And Greek is many times harder than Bahasa Malaysia. At the end of the year the result showed that I was the last in Class!
It was a very tough time memorising Greek words. So I asked the other more intelligent students for help. Isaiah Choe, my fellow student also from KL, introduced me to a Sanatogen High Protein Powder. Surprisingly, it worked. I was able to remember words like Anthropos (man), kardia (heart) & I found out that any greek word with an "a" in front negates its meaning. Example: thiest means god and athiest means no god; agnostic means “no knowledge”.
An athiest would say, “There is no God” while an agnostic would say, “I don’t know whether there is a God or not.” What does the Bible say? The Bible says, “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. {Psalm 14:1)”. The New Testament was written almost 2,000 years ago, yet I find it to have have information newer than tomorrow’s latest news. That will be another very interesting story in another post.
JONATHAN EDWARDS is called the ISAIAH AMONG CHRISTIAN AUTHORS for his prolific writings. . The Book of Isaiah has 66 Chapters – longest in the Bible. What was his secret? Well, it was said that he spent so much time learning and writing that he has no time for eating. So his wife boiled beans for hours on end to make them very soft for easy digestion!
During the Asain Financial Crisis M & F Sdn. Bhd who own the Distribution Rights For Proton Cars returned its license to EON. Since demand for news cars have dropped drastically. Seeing opportunity in crisis Mr. Isa, a relative of M & F Sdn Bhd’s boss requested to be given the license. It was a very smart move to get the Distribution Rights For Free.
A Chinese might have to pay RM200K to RM300K for it. And chances are slim! Isa’s Proton Cars in Seremban have been selling like hot cakes ever since. What was the secret of this unusually smart Malay? He told me every morning he must have “tau foo far” (bean curd in Cantonese).
Then it dawned on me! Sanatogen Protein Powder, Boiling Beans, and “Tau foo far” are the same thing!! BUT WHY? WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND IT ALL? Then I Found the Answer:
Within the skull is the Human Brain – consisting tofu or gelatin like intestines which are folded. THESE FOLDS ARE BRAIN TISSUES (fat & protein).
It was found that THE LENGTH OF BRAIN TISSUES IN HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE DIFFER FROM ILLITERATE UNEDUCATED PEOPLE. WHEN STRECTHED OUT THE BRAIN TISSUES OF HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE (Eg. Albert Einstein) ARE MUCH LONGER THAN THE BRAIN TISSUES OF, FOR EXAMPLE – THE ILLITERATE AFRICAN BUSHMAN. (And PROTEIN plays a Vital Part In The Formation Of Brain Tissues.)
The Former Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew ate tou foo(soya beancurd) for breakfast. A man of immense intelligence and at such advance age, he is still able to give speech without notes – standing and dishing out ideas on his feet. Following his father’s footstep is the current Prime Minister Mr. Lee Hsein Loong. His favourite breakfast consists of 2 bowls of tou foo far without sugar.
In Biblical times, Daniel chose to eat beans. And God gave him the skill to acquire wisdom and knowledge. His wisdom was found to be ten times better than the Babylonians of his time (Daniel 1:21)
Intelligence can also be shown by the diet of the animal kingdom. Lions & Tigers are the most intelligent animals. Their diet is strictly meat protein as compared to the herbivores like cows or deers, which are lower in intelligence.
The eagle in the sky is of highest intelligence among birds. (See article on “Eagle In The Air” at www.inspiretopray.com). Eagle is solely carnivore – hunting rabbits & small mammals. And in the sea the Killer Whales Are Superb Predators Of Very High Intelligence! Whether on land, air or sea, protein diets enable High Intelligence.
3) WISE BOOKS, WISE PEOPLE & INQUISITIVENESS.
The 3rd prerequisite for High Level Intelligence is A Life Long Search For Wisdom – whether in Books(printed or e-books on internet), Wise People Or By Our Own Keen Observation In Life.
One Book Stands Out Throughout History As The Source Of All Knowledge, Wisdom, Science & Inventions-THE HOLY BIBLE. IT IS THE VERY WORD OF THE LIVING GOD. GOD WROTE ONLY ONE BOOK – THE BIBLE. All Other Books & Peoples Of The Entire World Borrow From Its Wisdom. Let me give you some examples:-
1) Discovery of Chloroform.
In ancient times when doctors and surgeons did their operation, patients suffered great pain because they were fully conscious. Then someone read Genesis about the creation of Eve. God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, made an incision and took out a rib to make a woman. The first operation has no pain.
As a result of reading Genesis there was a search for this element. Chloroform was a great discovery because of reading Genesis Account. Amazingly, medical science has discovered that one special rib bone, if removed, can grow again! No other bones in the body from the hand or feet can have the ability to regenerate if lost.
2) THE HUMAN THUMB PRINT
“He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know His work (Job37:7)”
The Scotland Yard Police Used Thumb Print As A Sure Fire Proof To Arrest Criminals Because No Two Prints Are The Same! On the ID Cards of Singaporeans Are Two Thumb Prints For Identifications. The Thumb Prints Are The Seal God Put On Your Hands Even Though You Do Not Know Him!
3) TREASURES OF THE SNOWFLAKE
“Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? (Job 38: 22a)”
Every winter, trillions of snowflakes fall in the Northern Hemisphere; yet no two snowflakes are the same! Almighty God revealed this to Job in His long speech.
They are thousands of Other Things We can share here. For lack of space let us shorten this by 3 more examples:- God says, “I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED MAN UPON IT.. (Isaiah 45: 12a)
1) THE WATCH OR CLOCK
The Wrist Watch is patterned after the Earth’s Rotation – 12 hours day time and 12 hours night time. With the incorporation of the time piece into our hand phone the wrist watch might be made redundant one day.
2) THE CAMERA
The camera is patterned after the creation of the human eye. Kodak, a company with over 100 years history, did not foresee the advent of digital camera – so Kodak became obsolete. However, the digital camera itself has a new competitor!
3) THE COMPUTER IN iPHONE
The Computer is patterned after the Human Brain. Nokia did not foresee the Impending Conquest of the iphone. The iphone is not just a phone – It Is A Computer Operating Through A Phone! Or is It A Phone & Camera Operating Through A Computer?
Not All Books Are Good Books. Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species & Theory of Evolution Are Extremely Bad Books. So is Das Capital by Karl Marx. They are not only bad – they are extremely dangerous. These books have doctrines that influence governments to become godless and ruthless. Think of the millions that have perished under Pol Pot in Cambodia.
The Theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin are not facts but based on guesswork & suppositions. Over 500 times words like "maybe", "perhaps", "most probably", "it could be", "it so happened" are mentioned.
For example regarding the evolution of the eye. According to Darwin "it so happened"in the very beginning a worm like creature probably crawled on the sand. And on the skin of the worm it so happened are 2 black spots. Then light waves converged on the 2 black spots .and perhaps after a very long time out came 2 eyes.
What about the ears? Well again according to his theory there happened to be 2 depression on the skin of the worm. And sound waves converged on the 2 depression and perhaps after a long time out came 2 ears!
On why man being the highest form of mammal have so little hair? Again he guessed that in the beginning men like apes were covered with hairs all over their bodies. But most probably the female when they choose men as mate they most probably choose those which have fewer hairs.
And prehaps through natural selection by the women folk over a long period of time men have finally lost all their hair except on some parts of the body! If this theory is true, then women should continue to choose men who have less and less hair today. And bald headed men or botak should be highly desirable for women! What stupid non-sense theory? What did the Bible says? The Bible says, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1: 22)”
LEARN FROM WISE PEOPLE. Proverbs 13:20a says, “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise..” Warren Buffet learnt from the Wisdom of Benjamin Graham. He further improved & honed his skill with another wise investor, called Charlie Munger, to become the World’s No. 1 Stock Investor!
Jack Hyles says, “Great minds talk about ideas; Good minds talk about things: And weak minds talk about people. Seek those who have Great Minds. Flee those who have weak minds unless there is an opportunity to help them.”
The Intelligence Of Enoch Tan.
When Enoch Tan was an infant, he was fed with a pure protein powder produced by AMWAY Corporation, USA. This helped in his brain formation at a very early age. Later on he followed the Biblical precept of “Walking with wise men in Order to be Wise (Prov.13:20). In fact the First Enoch recorded in the Bible walked with THE WISEST OF ALL – THE ALMIGHTY GOD. It was said, “And Enoch Walked With God” (Genesis 5:24)
As Enoch Tan started to grow up in Singapore he practised a lifelong acquisition of knowledge in every area of life. By learning Speed Reading he is able to read a page with a glance. In this way he could read dozens of books a week. Almost All The Very Best Books In The World were perused.
Not only that, he spent thousands and thousands of dollars buying up both printed & e-books In His Unquenchable Thirst For Knowledge In The Entire World – Seeking Ancient Wisdom & Modern Cutting Edge Knowledge! No expense is too high for him if a book is worth buying – even if it costs US$300 a book!!!
Listen to His Wise Words, “Give Time for Learning, Give Life for Love, Give Thanks for Happiness and Give Gold for WISDOM…”
His Painstaking & Meticulous Gathering Of Wisdom is Now In His Website www.mindreality.com Or “SECRETS OF MIND AND REALITY.”
The Website is Not Free. However, the fees he charges is far below The Immense Value That Only He Can Give through “THE GENIUS” That GOD Made Him.
