Knowledge
How do we obtain knowledge? Is it through experience, education or simply it is something that we believe we obtain but in reality we don't know what it is? How do people measure knowledge? Having knowledge in life does not necessary means being intelligent or smart, there are many people that have the knowledge but they don't use it and therefore they are not succesfull in life. We as humans have the knowledge at some degree of what is right and wrong wich we called morals, we know the consequences of what studying for a test brings, or drinkng and driving, so if we have the knowledge, why are there so many students who don't do good in tests or people having terrible accidents because of drinking and driving? We may have the knowledge but sometimes we don't fallow that knolwedge and we fallow our instincts wich are not always right. I aslo apply knowledge with God, many times people hear the word of God, meaning that they have the knowledge but either ignorance or the incapacity of believing in something other that humanity retains their hearts to accept Gods love toward them. Knowledge many can have it but can we really use it?

That's true. There are people who are incredibly book smart but when it comes to applying what they have learned to the world, they are at a loss for words. They spend years and years in school but never decide on a degree. Or they spend years studying something that can't be used towards a career or anything beneficial to society or themselves. What use is knowledge if you can't apply it to anything? On the other hand, there are those who are street smart and have never learned to read but can get by with a little business stand. Some people become successful never having learned their trade from any formal education. How do we measure their knowledge?
