Six-word stories: An invitation
Last year, in a Pink blog entry on the fabulous book Not Quite What I Was Planning, readers contributed their six-word autobiographies. Smith Magazine‘s Larry Smith (“Big hair, big heart, big hurry), the brains behind the craze, just posted a comment inviting people to contribute these six-worders, or brand new ones, for possible inclusion in future books. Details here.
Here are my six-worders:
Formal Education is passive, like television.
Knowing something is interactive, like Wii.
Without formal education, knowing is cumbersome.
Education is “FFWD-button” of collective wisdom.
Experience enhances pattern-matching, to solve problems.
Without applying, your education becomes ‘bit-rot’.
Education creates a ‘living-being’ called knowledge.
