Rick KeloProfessionalism Through Experience

And Knowledge

We’ve all heard the famous quote “knowledge is power” – but what exactly does this mean in today’s society? The ability to think critically and analytically is what separates us from other living organisms. On the linear continuum of time, humankind has continued to steadily evolve. The discovery of fire enabled was a pivotal moment in our advancement, which only persisted with the development of language, farming, the legal system, paper, and so on up to the Internet, which has completely revolutionized the way in which we interact with one another. However, knowledge in itself is not enough; we must also learn how to use it within the context of our every day lives.
