Proverb: Knowledge is power

If education is the key to a bright future, then knowledge is power.

We are living in volatile times.

Many of the things we see and read on social media are either biased, modified or fake news.

It’s becoming harder and harder to tell the difference between what is real and what is false.

This is where the value of a good education and knowledge comes into play.

Knowledge is a critical factor that can help us through these times.

It’s also the only defence we have against fake news.

People need to read more, and they need to learn more broadly.

Tailored newsfeeds are spoon-feeding us only the news that we want to read.

It exposes us to the information, fake or not, that matches what we already believe. These feeds only serve to reinforce our beliefs.

I am a huge advocate of reading.

I try to expose my students to all sorts of articles from various reputable websites on every topic under the sun.

Knowledge is power means that education is stronger than physical strength.

Nothing great is built with strength alone.

If you can think it, knowledge can make it possible.

Strength fades, and learning lasts a lifetime.

Our modern societies admire beautiful people.

We praise those who spend hours and hours a day working out to sculpt their bodies into a vision of perfection.

Unfortunately, we do not lavish as much praise on those who do the same thing for their minds.

We laugh at the bookworm and disdain the scientist who tells us that the sky is falling and call them Chicken Little.

We fail to recognize that if the sky is indeed falling, no amount of strength will ever hold it up.

The only thing which can save you/us is knowledge.

This post is understandable by someone with at least a 7th-grade education (age 12).
