2cato: Please lets not be discounting exceptions as the rule. Your case is akin to validating or counselling dropping out from school or skiving off lectures because Bill Gates did same and became rich forgetting that his is just one in every thousand. |

Op you want to tell us that we didn't go to school abi? Diaris God o. All these grammar you are spoke will spake o. Issorai. Op has your car ever broken down in a no man's land and its already 6pm and it will take the closest mechanic 4 hours to reach there.Worse there's no car in sight.You ll come back and edit this post then. Another scenerio is you are a lawyer and your gown is torn and needs little sewing. Its the only one you have at moment and just 30 minutes to be in court! |

It is not until you are about to die that you can say figuratively what knowledge you gained that was a waste. Steve Jobs took a calligraphy class in uni, and this shaped the apple mac. You can never be absolutely sure where life will take you, so suck up all the knowledge you can |

OP I disagree with U, it was the fingering knowledge I gained in primary school that has helped me in f**king p***y this days. No knowledge is a waste. |

Most disappointing piece on Nairaland! We shouldn't let frustration rule our opinions. Knowledge is never wasted , it all forms and shapes who you become. 'What does knowledge give you? Understanding. Of who you are. Of what you believe. Once you have knowledge, it re-frames the way you think. It changes your perception and opens possibility. No matter how trivial, new knowledge builds on the shoulders of existing knowledge, forming stronger connections and associations about you and your world. One day - suddenly - you will see opportunity because you have a deeper understanding of your world. I am inspired by people who keep learning, asking questions, starting new things and 'Poking the Box' (as Seth Godin would put it). It all seems to be a quest to explore their world and better understand their potential. As my knowledge and experience builds I become empowered. I realise that I can do anything with enough time, focus and dedication. OK, OK. Some physical boundaries might limit my ability to beat Usain Bolt's world record - no matter how long and hard I train - but mental boundaries know no ends. It is these mental boundaries that are constantly refined by the acquisition of knowledge.' In the immortal words of Francis bacon ' Knowledge is power' |

Aggrippa: our system frown against versatility because we are too lazy. in my university days I was laughed at and called names like " jack of all trade and master of known". I may not typee or speak over the roof grammar but was able to graduate as one of the best engineering student, learn so many software's in my field civil engineering, architecture, building technologies and quantity surveyors. learning things whem you have yhe opportunity to do so, is always great. |

Years ago, a man once told me "Life throws a lot of lessons, challenges, trials, and knowledge.. Do not be a fool and say to yourself, i would pick and learn this and that.. Be a sage and learn from all, dont bother yourself about the usefulness whilst in the present, let future events do that for you".. Ben carson, back then didnt think his knowledge of classical music or the show would come in handy at the job interview, it was just one of those things he picked up along the way to his present self at the interview, he wouldnt have even mentioned it either: had the interviewer not mentioned it in their conversation... When the man told me years ago, his thots bout life and how you should learn from all that comes your way, the logic made no sense, buh years later, when the situation that needed a skill: that i neglected because i thot it wasnt useful prior to the time, came along... It all made sense! Its just like when we were young and naive, parents go warn you: Beware of Friends, in every language they can including your local language.. We no gree hear word. BUT when friends begin do us strong thing in all kinds of degrees, nobody tell us to beware of friends, na we begin tell people for untop mountains and over the hills, in the rain and under the sun.. LEARN ALL YOU CAN while you can is my advise. Buh hey wat do i know.. *continue flipping asun and sipping my cold fresh palmwine* |

Okay i'm late but I just have a thing or two to add... I'm impressed with the IQ of the average poster on this thread... No knowledge is a waste, however, set your priorities right... Op sorry to burst your bubble, you're hardly communicating if you ask me...All those big grammar does little to drive your points home... |
Re: It Is A Fallacy That No Knowledge Is a Wasted one by kelvOdanz(m): 3:13pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
I think the OP is more interested in defending the statement than seeing enough reason to let the statement die off as it is---indefensible |
Re: It Is A Fallacy That No Knowledge Is a Wasted one by sharperino(m): 3:20pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
While the points pushed forward is disputing the phrase "No knowledge is wasted" by the OP is not completely negligible, it is of high importance to understand that except you can give a 100% forecast of the future, you cannot equally give a 100% prediction of which knowledge will be useful, useless or lost as well which knowledge should be garnered or not. Thus, the arguments in defense of the phrase "No knowledge is a waste" by Saintchukz are simple, clear and elaborate enough to eradicate all contradictory perceptions of it. Even-though :- "...no truth is absolute in itself. Because to all assertions there are conditions" , "The challenge is that you can't adequately tell which knowledge will be useless." I tell you, "No knowledge is a waste" "...except you can give a 100% forecast of the future, you cannot equally give a 100% prediction of which knowledge will be useful, useless or lost as well which knowledge should be garnered or not." There are a lot of ICBM(s) to kill off oppositions. |

I remember being pressed down and had to use the toilet in Togo, that was when I realized the French class I termed "useless" was important actually, when I couldn't converse in French. What if I got into some sort of trouble that day, just because I couldn't speak French?. Forget the big grammars OP, the fallacy here, is your assumption that some knowledge are wasted. You don't have to go out of your way and time to learn unnecessary things, but instead you grasp them as you come by them, or through informal education at your spare time. I still look forward to learning Spanish and French. |

@Op, I would opine that you have shown off your knowledge of cake making and pitman, in this post at least. And, to me, that is a benefit of that knowledge for some have admired you for that. Something also tells me you have used it on the opposite sex. -winks- |

I didn't bother to read the article,i'm only commenting cos of the topic. I wanted to learn forex trading,so my friend said he knows someone that can teach me,he also said the man will park soon so i should make it quick. Instead of getting a laptop and moderm first i decided to leave that and go for the training,i paid #30000 to learn it and till date av never practise what i learnt not to talk of making money from it. I don't think i'll make use of the knowledge again cos i don't gamble,i see it as gambling. So that knowledge is a waste for me. |
Re: It Is A Fallacy That No Knowledge Is a Wasted one by ruffhandu: 4:05pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
udemzyudex: Now that you know and teaching people it's a gamble, you are already making use of it. Unless you define "making use of" to mean making millions, no knowledge is a waste to me. 1 Like |

Serendipity:Yes! You may never want to learn how to bake because you believe you will never need the skill, but that does not make it a waste of knowlege if you choose to acquire such knowlege. Who says your wife and children won't be proud of you if you are the one to bake their birthday/ graduation cake, even if you are the nation's president? |
Re: It Is A Fallacy That No Knowledge Is a Wasted one by ruffhandu: 5:41pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
udemzyudex: I understand you perfectly bro. The fact that you have just taught me that Forex is gambling, and the bolded, means your knowledge of it is not a waste. |
