Knowledge is power….really!!!

The confusion goes on whether you should have thorough knowledge of the subject or superficial knowledge of the subject, but you should be smart enough to show that you know the concept....


During schooling, parents and teachers expect that you mug up the answers and score marks, in graduation it is expected that you know the concept by reading a pile of books and be able to write it down in your own way. Both the things are opposite, so in order to survive we take help of some guides and here starts the "Selective Learning". And we are happy to see our results because we are able to score marks. We adopt the same technique for further exams. Now in post graduation (MBA) it is expected that you be able to understand the concept, if not you should be smart enough to show that you know the concept.


What is knowledge? Is it remembering the concept which you have learnt in the past and should be able to recollect it whenever the question is asked? Is it knowledge or good memory? If it is expected that you be able to answer the question based on your knowledge or your memory then for that you need to revise it again and again..Is it possible??


Is it a fight between knowledge, memory, intelligence or smartness?? What's the solution?
