If You Are Wise!
By Moises Reconalla

If you are wise, you should have to take time to think before you
 react.

If you are wise, you should have take time to listen before you
 criticize.

If you are wise, you should have to take time to analyze before you
 emphasize.

If you are wise, you should have to take to time to lend your ears
before you argue.

If you are wise, you should give enough time others to speak before you
 clarify.

If you are wise, you should give enough time others to clarify before
you justify.

If you are wise, you should learn to cultivate yourself as well as
practice encouragement instead of discouragement.

If you are wise, you should learn as well as teach yourself to be
patient in dealing with people. Remember, you are not dealing with a
people of logic but you are dealing with a people of emotions too!

If you are wise, you should learn and teach yourself to manage as well
as control your temper.

If you are wise, you should learn to hold as well as manage your
tongue not to back fight, criticize, gossip, condemn and insult other
people.

Remember criticizing that is a mark of an inferior person. A real wise
person has no time in back fighting, criticizing, condemning,
gossiping and insulting other people. They are busy in cultivating and
improving themselves and helping the lowly ones.

If you are wise, do not snub people. A real wise person did not snub
but greet people with a sweet smile.

If you are wise, be honest in giving praises. Do not give a flattering
answer or else people will hate and mock at you!

If you are wise, remain humble instead of being proud. Remember, God
mocked the proud but He lifted up the humble.

If you are wise, do not praise yourself in front of the people. Let
people praise you, not yourself!

If you are wise, you should be careful as well as watchful in your
character. For your character will be your only weapon against the bad
tongues of negative, toxic people.

If you are wise, be an open-minded person. Remember, there is more
hope to the fools than to the close-minded individuals!

If you are wise, you should continue feeding your mind with fresh
knowledge and wisdom. Remember knowledge is power. No knowledge, no
power!

If you are wise, you should encourage as well as teach yourself to
value other people. Remember no man is an Island!

If you are wise, cultivate yourself to have your own originality. I've
learned and discovered that one of the greatest mistakes of the young
people nowadays is a lack of originality!

If you are wise, you should practice being kind to yourself as well as
to other people. Always bear in mind that the hardest things to give
is kindness, it's always comes back to the giver!

Finally, if you are wise, cultivate as well as teach yourself to put
God in the center and everything will come together.

That's it!
