BETWEEN THE PAGES!

"Any fool can know. The point is to understand." - Albert Einstein 

Between the Pages
If you have lived for a certain number of years, then I am sure you have made one interesting discovery, one that doesn’t require much experiment or analysis - it's the truth that life is a roller-coaster from one problem to the other, every turn has it's challenge, something that must be confronted and solved, and this universal arrangement is not necessarily bad. In fact it's this setup that is responsible for the advancement of life and the development of civilizations. So let me remind you of something you may already know but may not have taken a great deal of time to ponder over. This unarguably is, what I consider the greatest advice there is. "The answer to 90% of all challenges lie in-between the pages of a book."

Burghardt DuBois, the great black educator, sociologist, and historian upon completion of studies at Fisk, Harvard and the University of Berlin, was convinced that change in the condition of the American black could be effected by careful scientific investigations into the truth about the blacks in America so he proceeded. His research was flawless and his graphs and charts impeccable. After waiting several years and hearing not the slightest stir of reform, Dr. DuBois had to accept the truth about truth. Which is, "It being available does not mean it will be appropriated, discovered and deployed."

IS KNOWLEDGE TRULY POWER?

“knowledge of what is, does not directly open the door directly to what should be.” - Albert Einstein


I am certain that you have heard the saying that ''knowledge is power'' over and over again, the only thing I doubt is if you have ever taken some time to examine the viability of this statement, for those of you who have then this is a reminder, for the rest of us who have not this is certainly food for meditation. isn't it interesting that we live in an age called the knowledge transfer age, in fact there has been no time in history that knowledge has been more prevalent, one survey states that at the speed which information moves if you read 24 hours a day, from age 21 to 70, and retained all you read, you would still be several years behind when you finished.
