INTELLECT: From a layman's perspective, this is an aspect or gift from God to his people that gives them the capacity to understand and think of something.
The word intelligent is gotten from Intellect and the speaker Fr. Leo took his time to throw more light on this fact stating carefully with adequate examples that every known being is intelligent including animals.
Fr. Leo even wowed the audience and made them gitter for more explanations when he said thus "Animals use their senses more than human beings". This single thought took almost several minutes for the amazed audience to imbibe immediately especially when Fr. Leo went further to give breath-taking examples that proved his facts right. Going forward, the five senses that were put to test where; sense of feeling, touch, sight, smell, taste.
In summary,

WISDOM: This term talks about the ability, capacity and capability of someone to do things right in a manner that pleases both God and man. It further means following rules and regulations set out by any authority or self at any given time.
Fr. Leo went further to distinguish different types of Wisdom stating that there are right wisdom which is used to do good or achieve good things in a proper manner. He stated that all human beings are wise but not all human beings have the right wisdom, he explained this with examples that backs up this fact of which this example is one of them: A thieve who wants to be happy and becomes successful uses his wisdom to plan evil against his fellow man, such type of wisdom should be discouraged but rather a wisdom which is used for the betterment of oneself and the society at large should be encouraged. Hence, Fr. Leo pointed out that the "Wisdom of a man determines his level of success". That is, a wise man is a successful man. Which conotes the fact that of a great philosopher "Aristotle" which says that the goal of a man on earth is happiness. Happiness can come as a result of success Fr. Leo stated.
An important note to make from success is this, a successful man is a man who is happy because of his achievements and also who makes other people around him happy as a result of his success. In other words, a successful man as Fr. Leo stated is not a selfish man that only wants to be happy whereas others around him are clamouring in pain, anger and fear.
KNOWLEDGE: In a simple term, knowledge can be seen as an application of wisdom which is a gift from God. Putting intellectual thoughts into useful practice in a right way makes a man knowledgeable. In fact, this further distinguishes other men from themselves. People can be intelligent, but not all that are knowledgeable. This explains the reason why a first class student in the university might make a first class because he read for just to pass exam whereas a second class lower student who by virtue of circumstances may not have such grades but in the society, he has achieved alot of things than that of a first class student. This is a FACT. Knowledge comes with wisdom, and we all especially the yonger generations, youths and elderly ones MUST learn to use it in a right way to develop ourselves and become better people in the society.
A wise and knowledgeable man is a virtous man who strives to develop himself as well as his neighbours and the society at large.
A "Virtous man" is a man that consistently strives to do the right thing at the right time. This is a type of lesson Fr. Leo stated that everyone needs to follow to make the world a better place, he went further to pray on our impefections and inconsistencies as human beings that God would give us the grace to endure and do the right thing to ensure that we live happily here on earth and make heaven at last while making our world, nation, state, community a better place for us all free of envy, jealousy, malice keeping and gossiping., fear, terror as we see in our society today.
