Streetsmart for the FUCKING WIN.
You ask me why? Because what is the use of knowing the circumference of the Earth? or the depth of the Ocean? or 283721987289372 x 28129320 divided by the square of 867126364654? Really, what? I guess that depends on the course you are taking or the occupation you want to have later in the future. But , whatever I become later on, I want to learn from experience. NOT FROM TEXT BOOKS.
I want to become a successful hotel or restaurant manager. I'd rather meet lots and lots of people, communicate, and interact than understanding stereotypes from textbooks and author's interpretations. I think it's silly to read a book over and over again to understand people, when in reality, you just need to step forward and ask them their name or what they are doing.
It's really frustrating to those in school who are booksmart and they cry over their grades. Because you know, its seems like they want to be EVEN MORE BOOKSMART so they can get 100/100. I'd rather get a 60/ 100 without studying more than a perfect mark with 50 hours of studying on the subject.
Okay, maybe reading books is fine. But if thats all you do - you sit down and ignore the world , stay in your room and read and read and read- what are you going to learn from that book? It's really useless to memorize something if you cant understand it enough to apply it in today's society.
What do you think? :3
