Degrees (using knowledge in the real world)

Life is only as good as we can use our knowledge to survive successfully. Other than that, all titles and diplomas are just “sheepskins” that “look pretty”. With that said, I start this article. Judge Judith “Judy” Sheindlin once wrote a book called “Beauty Fades, Dumb Is Forever.” I read the book and got the full message. Going through empty credits without any genuine basis is lived fully, so fully, that sometimes at the end of those lives, even if they are “successful”, they are a “train wreck”, a “scrap heap” and nothing to look forward to. aspire not even to imitate. as an example.

Of course, what I mean by the words “genuine fundamentals” is the sense of reality or “street sense of survival” to back up the “book sense” and “pretty diplomas” earned in schools and learning institutions. .

In fact, reality is an experience, not empty credits and the ego construct that says “you made it, you made it without doing anything, now go ahead!” Reality is a hands-on experience in making something real, nothing more, nothing less, and you sink, swim, or somehow ‘paddle like a dog’ out of it to survive.

So no matter how our egos are built with degrees, diplomas, or graduations, if you don’t have real life experience to back you up, you’re in trouble. Theory and bravado won’t help you fight a thief on the street, just a practical and realistic knowledge of how to survive and act realistically (even if you decide to fight if you know how) about what to do. That brings me to a point: reality comes down to what we can do in it, not the selfish brakes it gives us by not doing anything yet.

So, I’ll end with an anecdote about the Los Angeles Rams: In 2016, a quarterback named Jared Goff was drafted straight out of college midway untested for a total of $46.9 million dollars with a huge signing bonus, and not He won just one Super Bowl with the team as predicted by betting experts, sports analysts and the like during his four-season stint (2016-2020) with the Los Angeles Rams, and nearly fifty million dollars is a steep price to pay. pay for the disappointment and at least he has the experience to back things up now that he’s with the Detroit Lions. The point of this anecdote is that whatever the expectations, reality better be met through performance and experience or else it will all mean nothing, disappointment or whatever you want to call it negative.

So, to finish with some slang: reality is cash, and nothing else matters except the results you get, good or bad.
