Like I have always said, street
Smart is not the best way to learn things, but then experience is a very fun and self-expla![]
natory details, we get to understand what ever situation we face in a more detailed way, knowing why we either shouldn't have or should have done what ever was done, and so it helps you to educate another person facing that same challenge easily without reading any book.
Now they saw you only produce what you have, and so that is why we see that a lot of people reading a lot, so they can produce more from within, and so many of them are now rich because of them being a book smart...
I watched the black panther recently, and then what I saw lady black panther was trying to produce scientifically, I said to my self that it is only a book smart that can do something like this...
So now if I should compare between a book smart and a street smart, who would I choose and why?
Well, to be honest, I'd choose to the street smart over a book smart, so now, the question is why?
We all know that we can get a lot of things from reading, in fact 90% of everything can be learned by reading, and to be honest, let's be truthful to ourselves, it is so stressful, your time will be mostly spent in the library, and then you keep on learning and learning...
All these are cool, but one very young man in the market place could easily brainwash you without taking too much time, most especially when you wanttk get some goods, they will twist your mind and so you will be on the same page as them, and then you could be outsmarted by them, and then it's to your loss and to their gains...
It's way easier for a street smart to do the pucket picking than a book smart who has gone to read on how to do the pucket picking, a street smart will do it based on experience with an easy mind, knowing what to do when he is successful in his aim, but when he's not successful, he knows what to do, based on experience, you feel me?
But a book smart will not want to miss anything out of what was learnt from the book cause he will think that there my be a repercussion of failure in their aim because they failed to do as was read, but if they are successful, they already have experience, and they either go upgrade what they learnt with another reading, but a street smart know that if he gets caught, even at his first trial, they'd have ve an escape plan...
A book smart can not convince it confuse a street smart to do what they do not believe in or do not want to do, but a street smart can try very hard to convince a book smart, it might not be too easy, but it is very possible and it is the truth.
To end this note:
Whether you want to be a street smart or a book smart, education is not a waste, it will help you go quite farther than you can think of, and at the same time, having certain experiences at times will make some thing an easier to face, there are times that protocol needs to be broken, and that is what difference a book smart and street smart, I mean, a book smart doesn't always care if he followed or plays by the rule it not, all he wants is just to get what ever he came for; but a book smart will always follow rules so as not to spoil any arrangements, so as to get a successful results, and also a book smart knows when to break the rules, but they believe tht before you break the rules, you should know them, so you know whick one is breakable and which ones are not unlike the street smart that dose whatever that seem right to them at anytime, not wondering if the rule is broken or not.
Thank you for your time
