LONGWOOD, FL-In his book The Mind, Office of a Man's Life (paperback, $13.99, 978-1-60266-017-5), Emmanuel Olushegun Owoeye-Wise reveals how he believes God designed the human mind for use as an office. "In the beginning when God made man, He gave him a mind with which to run his life," says Owoeye-Wise. "It was a mobile body-office organ intricately designed for work, to be effectively engaged by individuals for profitable living. I think when God was designing man's mind He had the picture of a business office in mind, where man could conduct his various earthly businesses without stress."
In life and business, proper planning, organizational strategy, determination, self-discipline, creativity, and ability to maintain focus are all required to be successful. The great men and women who have stood out in their various fields of specialization (and of the Fortune 500 companies) all have well-organized business offices. Looking around us, we see the end product of the excellent use of the Creator's mind as His office: a beautiful universe; the complexities of human, animal, and plant natures; and, most importantly, the ingenuity of the human mind.
Born in Ibadan, Nigeria, Emmanuel Olushegun Owoeye-Wise trained as a professional pilot.
