How do you get to know what you know?

How do you know what you know is the question that has been troubling my mind quite a while now, contemplating on whatever I should share my opinion; what I think about the subject or not, but steemit has given us privileges to express our mind even if others agree or not, you will still get paid, if your content makes sense or interesting by the reader who might find it pleasing to appreciate you with upvote or comments or both as the case maybe.

I pondered on the question several times before I finally come out to talk about it today. Often, I do ask myself, those intellectual person we have around, how do they get to know more? Our society has attributed more value to those with IQ and EQ that they labeled some a failure or success. The reason for this is not far fetched as the educational institutions will believe is where knowledge come and died attributed more value and important to the best students, but I believe the school rewards memory, if you can assimilate then school is more good for you. I'm not saying school is not good since we are boast to know what we know in the four wall of the classroom and our society at large where culture of the people is being inculcated by the so called kids or member of the community. image

How is it that some people could think, write and come with a better plan in getting the project executed without much stress while others would spend millions hours reflecting on what could be done in achieving excellence without tangible results.

After, more time ruminating on the questions I later realised that we are shaped not only by our experience, but experience of others people around us or far and through research on what others have done in the past. But I still not satisfied, some still come out in flying colours than others even though they both do the same task with same resources at their disposal. What could someone called that, is there any forces like supernatural behind all these things? Is it spiritual being called the invisible? Maybe or not one couldn't say.

Many a time, I picked up a pen to write only to be denied of words. Having written a few sentences, I will be lost searching for the unlost. Which is why I do credit those that write thousands words not stopping but whenever I read their stuff, I did realise that no single man write without making reference to someone else work be it novel or research work which gave me impression that before you will be a great writer then you must have read a whole lost of books, not just for reading sake but ability for you ponder more on it and be able to at least recall some words maybe more. Which is why i agreed with this saying that it is not the amount of books you read that matters, perhaps, those you could remember. All these saying goes thus, we are a product of our society because we are shaped by our experience and what we see around us.

Yes, no single man could make it own his own knowledge or understanding alone, we needed others. A teacher without students to teach what is the use? A doctor without a patient to treat of what benefit ? A banker without customer of what important is it having the bank and even writer, if there is no reader or audience what would be the need? It will all be useless. The button lines is we learn from ourselves and others that is living or lived before us. I dropped my pen. A tree alone can never make a forest. Utilising what use see around you and make it work in your favour, by converting it judiciously.
