This I Believe–Drew
Posted by jefferson8 on March 3rd, 2008
I believe in that knowledge is power, and power needs to be used right, because to have an ability and not use it right is like not having one at all. When I was younger I would ask my family to give me Math problems to show off how smart I was. Then as I got older the Math got harder and harder. Sometimes when I failed in Math, I would wonder why I failed. Now I know that failing and learning from those mistakes is the smartest thing you can ever do. Knowledge is more than numbers and papers. You have to add the human element to the mix. Back in my old house my Brother would go on and pick on other kids on the block to prove that he is better than them. But I was smarter than that, I would always out smart him (but he will never admit it). After a while, I got tired of him being mean to those little Kids. I told them how to outsmart my brother. After a while my brother got tired of trying to be the bad dog on the block, and now we’ve moved away from that block. There are two types of Knowledge, Common sense and book Knowledge. When you wrap your mind around something that’s the only thing you can think about. When you’re smart you look back to remember other things to help you. A few weeks ago I had some homework. I started it and then one of the hardest problems I have ever laid my eyes on came up. Then I focused on that Math problem; mind, body, and soul. The next day I felt so proud that I did my math homework. But something hit me; I didn’t do any of my other homework. I believe that Knowledge is power, but common sense is the basis of all Knowledge. I believe that people with the Knowledge should use it, not waste it.
