Having a loaded gun is not necessarily a command to shoot. To have an excellent idea is not a call to action. Having good communication ability is not an invitation for a public speaking career. To preach is not necessarily an indication of a call to the ministry. A good voice is not a call to a music career, and to write a good book is not the permit to publish it.
The immature can't handle potential, to them; having a loaded gun is a call to shoot. Having a good idea is an immediate call for action, and being able to communicate well is the beginning of a public speaking career. Thus, the presence of potential in some individuals has created greater problems for them and humanity than the absence of potential.
Matured individuals are able to wait a little longer with a loaded gun, idea and potential for more knowledge, wisdom and understanding on why, how, when, where, who and what to do.
WHY? Deals with the reason for a season and ignorance of why leads to great abuse of potential.
HOW? It deals with the required methods, patterns, strategies or the dynamics of getting things done. A "fool" is not necessarily an unschooled individual, but someone with the knowledge of "why" coupled with the ignorance of "how."
WHEN? It has to do with the right timing. There is a time to act and time not to act. In fact, there is a time for everything under the sun. Doing the right thing at the wrong time is as well as doing the wrong thing.
WHO? It has to do with persons or needed relationships for the successful implementation of a dream.
WHAT? Defines action
The above information enables an individual to deploy potential effectively. In the absence of the above knowledge before action, disaster is inevitable. Think about this, the horse is the fastest domestic animal. Its speed is a great potential, but can equally be its destruction, if the horse is blind and not properly guided. We have more zealous people in the world today than ever, zealous to act and do. This crop of humans are found in all spheres of life, creating problems and confusion. Their potential has become a problem than a solution.
It's time for maturity; to get there, humble yourself and learn under a mentor. Learning and carefully observing more experienced individuals is not a waste of time, but an investment of time needed for efficiency in life. Mentorship will take you there!!!
