The information gained through education and experience is called as "Knowledge."
Many people think that learning or education stops once they come out of the college and take up a job or profession. It is not so.
Learning is an everyday process. Because, the world we live is fast growing with the latest techniques and devices. Especially, the professionals like Doctors, Engineers, etc. need to update their knowledge as newer discoveries are made and advanced methods are introduced in their fields. Even a barber has to install and adopt the latest to attract the customers to his saloon.
Leaders in any field are the great learners. That is why we find stacks of books kept in their premises.
There are many ways and sources from which one can get this knowledge. Newspapers, Magazines, Books, Electronic media like TV, Videos, Computer, and the Internet are the major sources.
Those who keep learning throughout the life are always well off in their life.
It's not suffice to learn but one should develop clarity in that what he learnt and should be able to apply and abide by that. This idea was conveyed in the world famous classical Tamil couplet, Thirukkural written by Thiruvalluvar. The poem is translated here below.
"Learn clearly without mistakes
Live by it whatever be the stakes".
Tamil proverb confirms "the Knowledgeable person is respected wherever he goes" .
Another Tamil proverb says
" What you learnt is only a size of your palm
What remains to be learnt is the size of World."
