We often are told that knowledge is power. Not really. knowledge is information. It is potential power and it becomes power only when it is acted upon.
What is the difference between a person who cannot read and a person who can but does not read? Not much difference (Right).
Learning is a lot like eating. It is not how much you eat that matters, what matters is how much you can digest.
Knowledge is potential power; wisdome(being wise) is real power.
Education takes many forms; it is not just grades and a degree. It is
Cultivating (preparation) your strenght.
Learning self-disipline.
Listening.
Eagerness to learn.
Our minds are like muscles, stretch or shrink, it all depends on how much or how little we exersize them.
Education without Values
True education is training of both the head and the heart. An uneducated thief may steal from the frieght car but an educated one may steal the entire railroad. We need to compete for knowledge and wisdome not grades. Knowledge is piling(manner) up facts, wisdome is simplifying it. One could have good grades and a degree and still not learn much. The most important thing one can learn is to “learn to learn”. People confuse education with the ability to memorize facts. Educating the mind without morals(behavior) creates a menace(harm) in society.
