Hello,
Here is another Letter to Jil from Mr Leke Alder. In this letter, He enlightens his Protege Jil, on the Power of Information and how it can go a long way in determining the success of her relationship(s).
To all the Jils out there, it is time to read. You will learn something. I am sure.
1. Dear Jil, I want to share an insight with you this morning. #Letr2Jil

2. I had gone to the cinema with my wife and as we drove back I stared into the night through the window of my thoughts. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
3. And then a profoundness hit me. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
4. It occured to me that as we go up and down the surface of this earth we are collating data. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
5. Essentially that's what we do. We are data collectors and to that extent we are data storage facilities – servers. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
6. We go up and down gathering data like a robotic space probe on Planet Mars. We are data rovers. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
7. Our eyes are cameras, our ears collate audio files, our senses are receptors. We have specialised apparatuses. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
8. We gather data, record images, sounds of life, words, knowledge, pictures of places, videos of interactions… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
9. I'd never seen things this way even though it's so obvious. Our eyes record life. We store sundry data in our brains. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
10. The man who lives to 70 years essentially has 613,620 hours of video and audio recording. That's terabytes of data. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
11. Theoretically, at the end of our lives someone can plug in a hard drive and download all the data collated. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
12. Perhaps God does this. Who knows! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
13. When we meet in social fora we are essentially creating a network of servers for the transfer of information. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
14. At such functions we acquire additional data, using them to analyse the data we have. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
15. Same thing goes on at work, only that it is a more focused and purposed interaction. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
16. We form a dedicated network of servers, sharing pertinent files to maximize productivity. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
17. As I meditated on this thought I came to understand human identity and why we're different from each other. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
18. Our identity is in our genes (which is legacy data code) and the information we collate as we move through life. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
19. WE ARE DATA! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
20. Information is our identity, on many levels. Indeed when you think about it we behave according to the information we have. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
21. A man is said to be educated because he gathered certain types of information. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
22. A gossip is someone who gathers certain other types of information. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
23. We are the information we gather. We become the information we acquire. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
24. There is a second level of differentiation of identity however, and it's related to the foregoing. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
25. We achieve further differentiation by the way we process data. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
26. As we process information so we turn out to be. This is the basis of that ancient saying: As a man thinketh so is he. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
27. The ability to process information correctly to arrive at practical solutions is what we ordinarily call wisdom. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
28. We must develop the ability to process information correctly in order to succeed in life and relationships. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
29. Now let me shock you with a further bit of insight: the processor of information is not the brain! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
30. All the brain does is machine the sequencing of information. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
31. The real processor of information is actually the information we gather! Words are processors. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
32. We use information to process information. Let me illustrate. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
33. Assuming you have a friend going through a very rough patch in her relationship. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
34. Daily she regales you with terrible goings on in her relationship. She's giving you data. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
35. What then happens is that you use her data to process the data you collated on your relationship. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
36. Using her data you can arrive at certain conclusions. For example: #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
37. a). My friend is dating the wrong guy. A good relationship starts with the right choice. Or… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
37. a). My friend is dating the wrong guy. A good relationship starts with the right choice. Or… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
38. b). My friend is quite stubborn. I must avoid stubbornness in my relationship so I can be happy. Or… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
39. c). My friend's boyfriend is terrible. Men are terrible! Or… #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
40. d). I'm lucky to have a good relationship and a good man. I'd better treasure it and treasure him! #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
41. Essentially you have used your friend's data to analyse your own data to arrive at certain conclusions. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
42. The type of conclusion you arrive at is dependent on your belief system. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
43. Faith comes by hearing. Therefore your belief is determined by information collated. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
44. If so be the conclusions you reach in life will be determined by the type of information you gather. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
45. Whether you like it or not the data you gathered from your friend will influence your decisions one way or the other. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
46. Information determines the trajectory of our lives. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
48. a). We must be mindful of the information and data we gather. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
49. b). Our destinies and life trajectories are determined by the information we gather. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
50. c). Our worldview and philosophy of life is determined by information. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
51. d). We are transformed by information. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
52. e). If we collect wholesome and edifying data we stand a better chance of arriving at wholesome relationships. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
52. e). If we collect wholesome and edifying data we stand a better chance of arriving at wholesome relationships. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
53. f). Be careful about how you use the data of someone else's experience to process the data of your relationship. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
54. Relatedly, don't get into what Jesus called "offences". #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
55. Simply defined, creating "offences" means occasioning trials and temptations for others. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
56. Don't maliciously use data implantation to destroy the relationships of others just because you have challenges in yours. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
57. And don't let anyone do the same to you. You must be discerning in your interactions. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
58. Well, I believe I've given you a lot of data to help you navigate your relationship. #Letr2Jil
— Leke Alder (@LekeAlder) August 31, 2013
59. Like I always say, what you do with information is up to you. Your mentor, LA. #Letr2Jil ©Leke Alder

Make up your mind to make the necessary adjustments.
Do have a great weekend.
