It’s A-Z blog hop Friday, the letter of the week is K, and…drum roll here…I actually remembered on my own and am posting on Friday instead of Saturday for the first time.
Thinking about the letter K, the word knowledge popped into my head. I think that’s because I always say you can never have enough knowledge tucked away. Knowing more, to me, is always better than knowing less – and getting caught that way.
Knowledge comes to us everyday through conversations, TV, emails, online, etc. There are two kinds of knowledge we receive: the important kind that we need to deal with our family, friends, and work each day, then there’s the superfluous stuff that we wonder why we even it give it the time to swoop through our brain. It’s the superfluous stuff I like. I take the important stuff and use it, but the superfluous stuff I tuck away – either in my brain or a saved email, because I just know someday I’m going to need it.
So many times I remember someone asking me if I read something or know where a place is and stood there touching my head, saying, “Wait. I vaguely remember seeing that.” Then usually within a few minutes I either remember it or remember where I put it. (You can’t know how many times I pulled a password out the air for my husband or kids and it was right.)
So for me, K is for knowledge – superfluous knowledge that eventually come in handy.
And so, as another day goes by, I was going to leave you with some profound thought I came across today, but I can’t find it right now, and …I have written.
This is a blog hop. What does “K” stand for for you? Hop on!
I like learning. But I also have a poor memory and cannot retain much. Can be frustrating.
Don’t think your not remembering – how many times has something obscure come to you right when you needed it? You didn’t realize you were storing it away! 🙂
I’m all about the superfluous knowledge. I can rattle off a list of movies, their actors, and all the behind the scenes stuff, but utterly fail at recalling the multiplication tables.
J’nell we are so opposite! I can’t remember the name of a movie a half hour after I saw it and forget the actors! Lol! But I can math in my head and my whole calendar year resides in my mind as well as on my phone, but don’t ask the name of my fav movie! Lol!
