A friend of mine uploaded this picture on WhatsApp with the term "SUCH IS LIFE"
It then strucked my heart that why will such a thing happen. When there are a great difference between this two people.
I then went ahead to find out the meaning of these five words- CLEVER, BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT, SMART, and WISE.
CLEVER: Intelligent and able to learn things quickly (mentally quick and resourceful)
BRILLIANT: Very bright; very impressive; extremely intelligent
INTELLIGENT: Having or showing the abilty to easily learn or understand things or to deal with new or difficult situation ( seat of creativity)
SMART: Very good at learning or thinking about things.
WISE: Based on good reasoning or information; showing good sense or judgement
****NOTE***- All definitions are from Webster Merriam dictionary
From this definitions, I deduced from my research that Bill Gate is doing something the friend is not doing- THINKING.
Education is derived from the word from the Latin Ēducātiō ("A Breeding, A Bringing Up, A Rearing")
In other words, it means within out. Bringing what you have in you out.
A lot of people goes to school today just to digest what other people( our great ancestors, scientists) have bring out of them. Why can't you bring out your own.
You are not going in line with the word "EDUCATION"", all you do is "WITHOUT IN"( digesting others idea's) not WITHIN OUT( bringing your own idea)
Let's take a look at this-
A very faithful day, the whole family was set for dinner with everyone at the dinning table except Bill. According to the custom of the family "all family member must be present before eating." Therefore the mother MELINDA GATE went ahead to call Bill in his room by saying, "Bill, everyone is ready for meal, we only await you", then he replied, " am coming." With the expectation of him truly coming, his mother left.
After several minutes, Bill is not yet at the dinning table for dinner. The mother went ahead again to call him "Bill everyone is waiting for you" and he replied just like before "am coming" then the mother left.
After several minutes again, Bill is not yet at the dinning table. The mother then move straight to his room and said "Bill everyone await you for dinner" then he replied "Mum, am THINKING..."
What could a young boy of age 7 years be thinking of.
The difference I just "" THINKING""
The abilty to bring out the ideas in you
Bring new ideas
Happy steeming.
