If I Ask You - Knowledge Or Wisdom?

I welcome you to my another blog and again thank you very very much for reading my previous ones, (doesn't apply if you didn't😐).

Remember the student of your class who always remains in focus of the teachers, always scores good marks in every test, raises his/her hand first at every question asked by the teacher and even speaks in the online classes(…how pathetic)! I can understand the anger you feel at someone being the hero of the class and the rest just being fed by the some privileges left by them.

Now, what we aren't ever clearly told is whether what we feel is right or not. Do they really deserve hatred? In a way, yes they do. But it's just about you, and not them. They observe more attention just because they are able to do something which, for some illogical apparent reasons, is considered as an achievement, which it isn't - getting good marks.

Those marks are a result of their knowledge, right? Now, here comes the topic. Do they really have knowledge? Also, is it necessary that a knowledgable student will always get good marks? Hahah…no. Having knowledge doesn't mean knowing a truck full of facts given in the book and being tested by exams!

I hate when people confuse Intelligence with education. You can have a bachelor's degree and still be an idiot.

-Elon Musk

Knowledge means having a complete understanding of the concepts and one more thing-wisdom. And that is what I call as intelligence.

If you score good, you have knowledge, but if you boast about it, you lack wisdom.

-Anuj Patel🙄

And such students, just because they get false attention, try to seek for more attention. You'll generally find them on the instagram with a nice selfie as DP and "some"K followers. But knowledge isn't to make you popular and understanding this one thing is wisdom.

Wisdom is a part of knowledge. In fact knowledge leads to wisdom and wisdom then leads to right knowledge. A person can be intelligent with or without being educated. But a person who is intelligent will always have the right knowledge.

In my life, being wise means not hustling through every subject just to get marks and show off, it means not treating myself like a king just because I have a good rank, it means treating other friends with priority irrespective of their marks, it means not wanting people to know that I know something just because I know it and at last it means valuing myself for being like that even if the world around me doesn't like it.

And one last thing, don't give a sh*t to the marks that anyone scores. Just be wise and value yourself for being like that, since you should always judge someone's value on the basis of character and not personality. Be a person of value and not of image.

I am not sure if I was able to explain the thing that well, but I still hope that you have got the idea. So, hoping for the best, I bid you a good bye.

Thank you very much for reading till the last and it might be a good idea if you follow me🙂.
