SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE”
Mr Hill stated there two kinds of a knowledge one is General the other specialized . Here is a story of a man who could not read,his name is Fred. Fred had trouble finding a job ,but finally got one as a -garbage man ,on his first day on the job the boss give him a written list of addresses were he had to pick up garbage.Fred look at the list despondently “I can’t read” he confess to his boss well”said the boss” if you can’t read you can’t be a garbage man, he felt sorry for Fred so he handed him some bananas and wish him good luck.FRED went to sit on the park bench and think about what next,he set the bananas on the bench beside him. A man came along and asked Fred if he would sell him a banana for five cent ,Fred sold the man the banana.
Thinking about what just happened Fred place the rest of the bananas in a more noticeable position , before an hour pass he sold all of his bananas. In fact the demands was so high he raise the price to 10 cents for the last two bananas.
Fred decided to go down to the grocery store to buy as many bananas as he could with the money from his sales,back to the park bench he went. Every day through the summer he went to the park and sold bananas then he started selling different fruit,soon he found a place for himself at the gate of the park,Fred made more money than he ever had.
Some years pass and Fred found himself in the Board room of a major company to which he was selling his business which had grown to be one of the biggest food distribution companies in the United States,his company was worth hundreds of millions dollars,finally the document were ready to sign, the lawyers put then in front of Fred for him to read.
“I can’t read Fred said and slide the documents over to his lawyers. The purchaser couldn’t believe his ears,here you are a successful business man and can’t read,just imagine what you could have been if you could of read.Fred pause for a minute and said, i know what i could have been “A GARBAGE MAN”.
An educated man is one who has developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants,or it’s equivalent,without violating the rights of others.”Some people falsely believe that ‘knowledge is power”.It is nothing of the sort!Knowledge is only potential power.It become power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end .
