When we hear the word "knowledge" we generally associate it with intelligence. But is knowledge something that we gain through our studies or is it acquired through our life experiences? There is, of course, different types of knowledge. There is knowledge that comes from the schools we attend, the classes we take, and the textbooks we read. However, there is also knowledge that we take away from our life experiences. I believe it is this knowledge that truly makes a person wise.
Sadly, it is almost impossible to get anywhere in life on knowledge merely taken from life experiences. These days, getting into a good college depends solely on your GPA and test scores. But although "book-smarts" allow you to be able to choose any path, "street-smarts" and common sense provide the proper knowledge of knowing which is the correct path to take.
