What Do You Know?


With all your training and mentoring and teaching and instruction you must know something.
Some have walls covered in paper stating they be edubacated on many levels and degrees but can’t find their shoes in the morning. Others who may not have complete formal training can take apart and put back together your car engine.
In public schools there is reading, writing, and arithmetic that is suppose to get us started into higher forms of understanding and comprehension. As advance classes started getting more difficult, the really smart ones looked for electives.
As school lesson run out as they do after some extended time, gainful employment is required to keep a roof over your head, food on the table and minimal payments on the stack of credit cards. A new schooling was about to begin for every occupation has it’s own language and terminology. 
As we grew older and comfortable with our new language, did we learn diversity? All over the globe there were other people do similar jobs and performing task but we could not communicate.
Our different tribes created various languages and word and meanings. The scripts or calligraphy was taught in small regions and when seen somewhere else could not be read. Writings were translated. Linguistics help understand what another person was saying. Yet words had different meanings and the placement in a sentence could not always be easily understood.
Yet a smile is universal. Laughter and song do not have to be translated. Tears and hugs do not require writings and love does not need words.
See, you are smarter than you thought.
