What I have learned
Let me distinguish between knowing and learning. Knowledge
and Wisdom. Knowing is getting information. There is no end of information
that we come across at every step in our life. Initially, I was stuffing
my brains with storing all sorts of information- how many states are
there, how many Presidents, how many planets, what are their names,
who wrote what book and what poem was written by who...the list is endless.
However, with advent of the Internet and handheld tools to connect to
the Internet, there is really no need to memorize that sort of information.
Why waste brain cells when you can buy a 500GB hard drive for less than
100$! LOL. Why stuff brain when you can access them, maybe in few more
seconds, on the Internet? All I need to know, and be expert with, these
days is how to get the most out the Google, Yahoo, MSN search engines.
I want to be expert and knowledgeable with them so I can find what I
need very quickly and accurately. I am not going to stuff my brain with
all that information.
Important thing in my opinion is wisdom and knowing what others do
not know. How to use the information you are receiving. How to make
better decisions/choices in life. THIS IS the guiding force for this
section on my website. I intend to write down what I have learned. I
also encourage you to share what you have learned.
