Professionalism Through Experience
And Knowledge

2. We’ve all heard the famous quote “knowledge is power” – but
what exactly does this mean in today’s society? The ability to
think critically and analytically is what separates us from other
living organisms. On the linear continuum of time, humankind
has continued to steadily evolve. The discovery of fire enabled
was a pivotal moment in our advancement, which only
persisted with the development of language, farming, the legal
system, paper, and so on up to the Internet, which has
completely revolutionized the way in which we interact with
one another. However, knowledge in itself is not enough; we
must also learn how to use it within the context of our every
day lives.
