Ignorance & Common sense

Ignorance
Illusion of knowledge is not education, but ignorance. Foolish people have a strange kind
of confidence which comes only with ignorance.
Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn to do things the right
way.


Common sense
Education and knowledge without common sense has little meaning. Common sense is
the ability to see things as they are and do them as they ought to be done.
We are born with five senses touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing. But successful
people have a sixth sense common sense. Common sense is gained in spite of, not
necessarily as a result of, education. The best education without common sense is
worthless. An abundance of common sense is called wisdom.
