Even though many parents always say "Knowledge is power" and push their children to study hard, many people can not actually see why knowledge is that important in our lives . It seems that we are just studying repeatedly to fulfill other people's expectation or outdo our friends. However, there are some specific reasons why knowledge is essential in this society and our future. Knowledge is a mirror of your individuality and shield that protects you.
First of all, knowledge can show who you are. We can judge many kinds of people by his common sense, background knowledge or sight toward the world. It means that all knowledge you know can reflect your entire image. Thus, it is quite sure, the more knowledge you have, the better image you can have. Most of people think that one might be polite, smart and reliable if you show great interest in knowledge and teach many useful things to others. For example, in many kinds of interview, like university-enter interview and company interview, most interviewers might evaluate interviewees based on his or her knowledge and logical thinking responding to their questions, not by his or her beauty, money and so forth. Only by judging interviewee's knowledge, Interviewers will be sure about his or her competence and suited ability.
Second, knowledge can protect you from bias, deception or other kinds of risk. Ignorance is not just a lack of knowledge, but it also means that one can get in trouble at higher rate. Since ignorant people have no knowledge to depend on for their decision, they can not make appropriate determination. For example, if you are a rich man, but have no idea about anything, you might believe all deceptive words and sweat compliments to draw your attention, which is intentional for your money.
In conclusion, the knowledge can be a perfect tool to show yourself and make you safe. Many people are willing to compare others with you depending on your knowledge you can reveal in conversation. And this will expose you to more potential of jobs, success and good image. Also, knowledge can make sure you can make more contemplation and make reasonable decision for yourself, preventing you from troubles. Conclusively, Knowledge is crucial in your life not just for test, but for whole life. |
