Knowledge Gained

Yesterday I was in a situation whereby my truck gave me an issue. It turned out, at the end of the day, to not be the issue I thought it was, but the problem will be fixed in short time.

My husband is mechanically inclined and has taught me some things over the years. Because of this, I wasn’t totally clueless about what the problem could be. Having this knowledge empowered me to try to sort it through on my own first, then ask for his help.

This is why I love knowledge and think it’s not ever a waste, no matter how you originally came about that knowledge either. One never knows when the knowledge will be needed, but having the knowledge gives a great advantage when faced with something needing that knowledge.

Another example is crocheting. I’ve been crocheting for some time and know the general basics. I was looking for a certain pattern a couple of times, but hadn’t found anything that completely appealed to me. However, because I had knowledge of those basics and of what could be done, I created each project with a mixture of crochet pattern ideas so that I then created something I was totally happy with each time. This knowledge gained worked to my advantage in those situations.

What about knowledge for one thing, but using it for something else? Well, that was a situation with life insurance. I’d somehow gotten into life insurance school and studied well. I didn’t make a great agent though and that was a short lived profession. However, the knowledge I did gain allows me to give people general advice from time to time.

Maybe there’s a point in your life whereby you have gained knowledge to then be useful farther down the line. A lot of times it’s a small bit of knowledge to pass on to someone else, such as, “Oh, I read an article about this very topic and it was suggested that….” Or, “Here’s the number of a great person that can help you with that.” Etc. Someone can also gain that small bit of knowledge and pass it along to you. You may have had that happen to you as well.
