Know the difference between “wisdom”, “tricks”and “skills”-IHIRWE Samuel Tresor(Story)
This world: has anyone ever asked the question to know the difference between “intelligence”, “tricks”, and “skills”! Let me use this example to explain what “experience” is and how it differs from classroom “knowledge”!
In one country (Zimbabwe) two robbers went to steal from the Bank! As soon as he entered, one said to all the people present:
“Everyone on the ground. Hurry up!!! You move a little I will shoot him dead!…know that the money belongs to the country, but the life is yours”! They all obeyed, lying on the ground without interruption!
What is called “intelligence”, that is, “the ability to think”.
The Englishman one of them was lying on the floor, he took it off and went to his assistant “holy” at will, lying on the table as if he was ready for work!! Others say: “You fool, go be a Muslim! We came to steal, not sexual intercourse!”
That’s called “working professionally”! No distractions! Work is work!
After they all went home, they went to the house of one of the others, he was the youngest (he had finished his master’s degree) and said to his friend, who was the oldest (he had studied only 6 years of primary school) and said: “Let’s count them all, let’s know what we have done.” today.”
His friend reprimanded him: “You know I knew you were smart, because you’re a fool!! We can’t count all these money by hand, we’ll finish the whole night before we finish. You watch TV and watch the news, they tell us that the bank was stolen!”
That’s called “Experience.” I remind you that experience is the wisdom that comes from living for many years!
Don’t be mistaken for old people, they have lived the same years you are going through, they have seen a lot, heard a lot, done a lot, read a lot! And for the rest, the paper they give us after graduating from school is called “knowledge”! The paper is called “degree”!
Let’s go back to the Bank. After they were robbed, the manager of the Bank (one called him “manager”) told his supervisor to “call the police as soon as possible”.
The chief inspector said to him: “Let’s leave it alone! Let’s do 10 million dollars in addition to the 70 million dollars we borrowed from the Bank last time, all depending on these others”.
That’s called “Mining”! It is also called “Cutting the ripe”! He is a “natural genius”, where he knows how to make the most of every problem he faces instead of just sitting and complaining about it! Be “Rutemayeze” I invite you! Technically! Those in Nduga and Buganza where you are coming from!! High school siblings!!
The chief inspector said, “The bandits are giving birth!…..they come to visit us every month!
What is called “Skill” is the ability to use what you have learned and do it properly!! You know what to do and don’t miss it!
In the house of the others, they sat in front of the TV to listen to the news that the police had given them, and they knew exactly what they had done! Let it foam!
In the news they said that the Bank was robbed of $100 million. All the signs are there, because the bandits did it at sunrise! The bandits threw themselves up! It’s their fault!!
They started counting and dividing, repeating, repeating, but $100 million [that’s more than 100 billion Frw] they lost! They found that it was only $20 million.
These two others are very angry, so the elder of them speaks to each other saying:
“We put our lives at risk for more than $20 million alone”! One said,
“A bank manager stole $80 million without breaking the bank, using just a swipe of his finger on a computer!!”
Another says to himself, “Learning is good, I see! My child will learn to be a thief like us”!He will pick up a pen instead of a gun!
That’s what is called “School Knowledge”!The pen is first!! Remember that Learning is worth more than notes and gold in the hands of a notebook!”Take the kids to school!!
How did it end?
They’re all done! The Bank’s manager and supervisor stole $80 million and the thieves stole $20 million!
Those who took $80 million were smiling, while those who took $20 million were sad because they were complaining that they were smarter than them!
