Information, Knowledge & Wisdom

I had a discussion with a friend just the other day about college and the educational system here in America. We got into the conversation because he has been debating with himself about returning to college to get his degree and go after that promised career you receive along with the little piece of paper the school issues ;-)

We begin to talk about the norm when it comes to the educational system here in the U.S. The whole talk of how a degree increases your chances of landing that perfect JOB. I begin to explain to him how I felt about what I like to call true knowledge.

Of course I let him know how good I thought it was for him to return to school and pursue any dreams he may have. A college degree is a great thing to have under your belt regardless who you are. There isn't any other place that I know of where you can receive so much information in one place along with so much praise from the public as well. But I do feel it's exactly that...just information. The U.S. school system doesn't really seem interested in teaching us how to apply the information that is given to us. Not only that but the system doesn't seem interested at all in teaching us how to build wealth and create continuous positive cash flow. Could it be that the system doesn't know how to teach wealth creation? Could it be that we're nothing more than modern day slaves only taught the information needed to keep us on the treadmill of life that will have us continue to create wealth for the creators of these educational systems and jobs?

The way I feel about college and the educational system as a whole in America may differ from a lot of individuals. In fact I usually expect to be met with resistance when it comes to these issues because of the mass perception of what is supposed to be and how it is supposed to be. As I said before, I love college and all forms of education but I also understand it's place in my life and the lives of others that are into building true health, wealth and wisdom. I'm back in college again myself these days but I also have a different perspective on the information I receive as well.

I have placed links throughout this post to a wonderful article by Robert Kiyosaki about the need, he feels, for two different educational systems. Of course being a financial expert, a wonderful author and speaker I'm sure Robert breaks this down a lot better than I can ;-)

Remember when receiving any type of new information let it sink into your mind and start the process of receiving the info with a clean slate (open mind). Remember we don't have to dispute everything that we don't agree with and changing your mind due to good information and intuitive thought doesn't make you weak. In fact it makes you human ;-) Change is in our nature and we're meant to grow through learning and experience...only trying to resist the flow and change of the Universe stops us from growing. Peace & Blessings!

(It starts with information. Applied information becomes knowledge. And Intuitive insight on how and when to use your knowledge becomes wisdom)
