As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. It is therefore very important to guard our hearts with all diligence regarding the things that gain entrance therein and form our thought pattern.
The accesses to our hearts are the routes through which information gains entry. These include our eyes – what we see and read; our ears – what we hear; and our skin – what we feel. All of these things we see, read, hear and feel altogether form what we know, which then create opinions in our hearts and as such guide our thinking. It was Sam Adeyemi who once said something to the effect that whatever a man attains in life is partly due to the things he knows and partly due to things he does not know; for if he has known better, he would have attained higher.
In all of these, one of the greatest sources of what we know that eventually guide our thinking and in effect who we are is the book. It is commonly said that if you are to hide something from a Nigerian, put it inside a book. And that can easily give you a clue as to why, as a people, we have remained where we are in development. Books are indeed things!
