Book Smart, Street Smart or Both

Terdetik untuk berkongsi....yang mane lebih bagus?.... yang mane lebih penting?....yang mane menjamin kita 'survive' dalam dunia yang makin kejam ini?....Semua ini persoalan yang bermain di fikiran aku. Membuat aku begitu 'curious' mencarik jawapannya....

Dalam dunia sekarang....ilmu penting, tanpa ilmu kita bagai tin kosong yang fizikalnya nampak cantik dan bergaya tapi tidak berisi....selain itu, pengalaman juga penting, tanpa pengalaman kita bagaikan orang yang sesat di dalam hutan tanpa tahu hendak menyelamatkan diri. Jadi di manakah kedudukan aku?

'I envy people who possess the natural talent of being street smart. I often wish to be blessed with more street smart than book smart. By being a book smart, I love to observe how the street smart people would react and handle novel problems in different situations. I feel challenged to compete with the street smart individuals whether it involves school or work activities. At my workplace, I feel frustrated when a person can make better decisions than I can. I can definitely argue about the technical knowledge, but I am lacking the ability to adapt to different situations. Oh… the frustration. What should I do? Someone just stole my thunder. Instead of developing my negative feelings, I always try to focus on my work result and work together with these street smart people. Consequently, my knowledge grows and my ability to handle certain things improves.'

Antara inti pati artikel ini, memaparkan budak Universiti yang sedia maklum bijak & cerdik (Book smart) bertindak mendaki bukit tabur tanpa membuat laporan polis sehingga di syaki penduduk ade kumpulan sesat ...lalu pihak penyelamat (Street smart) dikerahkan ke Bukit tabur...tapi malang nya, tiada apa yang berlaku...(baca komen-komen dalam artikel tersebut untuk lebih memahami)

Kesimpulannya,

'For me, being a book smart is definitely as important as being a street smart. A person needs to find the balance of these two. If you consider yourself a book smart, surround yourself more with the people of street smart and vice versa. Both book smart and street smart have their specialty in handling situations in life. I am proud of being a book smart. At the same time, I envy those of the street smart. In the end, I realize that both the book smart and the street smart should work together as a team to achieve good results. It is like the Ying and the Yang – one completes and supports another.'

'Aku suke kesimpulan ini'

Fikirkanlah... apepun masing-masing ade matlamat masing-masing dalam hidup....lakukan ape yang perlu sebagai persediaan untuk masa depan...agar ape yang dihajatkan tercapai, dan jangan sekali-kali mengabaikan tujuan sebenar kita hidup iaitu sebagai khalifah Allah di muka bumi hanya semata-mata untuk mengejar duniawi.
