When you show your knowledge, see your ignorance from within
When you show your knowledge, see your ignorance from within
Article by Dr S Ranganathan
When one would become wise or can be called as a wise person? Is wisdom different from knowledge? If so wisdom or knowledge makes one ‘wise’ in corporate.
In truth, not when one gets or acquires knowledge become ‘wise’ but when one realizes how small and miniscule the knowledge he or she has and the feeling of how much more to acquire only makes the person wise. In other words, knowing ignorance of oneself is considered to be the best sign of becoming ‘wise’.
Is display of knowledge is a sign of being ‘unwise’? Equally so, display of ignorance is also called as sign of stupidity or lack of wisdom. Then what about someone attempting to hide or cover or whitewash his/her ignorance? It is nothing but ignorance and only ignorant people alone venture to do the above. The corporate employees must know this philosophy very well.
Whom the corporate want the most or respect the most or hire and pay the best? Most corporate always look for diverse experience than consistent experience as one of the most preferred pre-requisite for selecting a candidate. In brief, the technocrats are the best chosen or picked up candidates. These people know how to display their knowledge as well as their administrative/managerial capabilities very well.
What would happen when someone recognize your knowledge? You will be tempted to display it often to catch the attention or recognition of others, is not true? Will such transformation help one in acquiring new knowledge and replace ignorance?
It is true that only when they showcase the knowledge, people will be recognized and rewarded in the corporate. They must do that, the idea of the article is not against displaying the knowledge, but while doing so, they should be aware of its consequences.
Show your knowledge to others but never forget to see your ignorance from within. Be aware of your knowledge and ignorance while displaying or hiding it. Never attempt to do what you do to others to yourself. Be good or be bad as the definition or whether it is good to be good or good be bad is not the topic of discussion. Be aware of the actions and its consequences. Only awareness alone makes a person wise and ‘truly knowledgeable’
Be aware of what you are doing and why you are doing. Doing is a mere action and it is like an engine that can work only with the fuel is constantly supplied. There are four types of fuels viz.,
1. Knowledge2. Ignorance3. Experience4. Awareness
only can make the engine of action to move or occur. If one use ‘awareness’ as the fuel, the actions will be genuine, pure and wise. No further verification or validation of the actions or its consequences is required.
If the corporate employees learn this essential philosophy, their life will be very blissful and complete. Their existence in the organization will be ‘complete’ than they attempt to be a part of an incomplete framework.
