as the saying goes, the learning process do not have a fullstop and it is not just about learning... it is also about how you could share this information...
Is sharing of knowledge beneficial?? Wat is the benefit for the one who shares?
Well, lets just take a look on an example i've came through...
Buckman Laboratories International is a multinational company with more than 1000 employees in 90 countries. Yet, in the industry, Buckman is to be consider as a small company.
Now here comes a questions, what makes executives of World's Top Company to pay attention to this small company and to trek to Buckman's Head Office to see and learn?
At this was just because the CEO, Bob Buckman recognized the power of knowledge and information before any other large company does. Begin in 1992, Buckman and his employee started to treat knowledge as the most important asset of the company. In this idea, all the employee are suppose to share findings, knowledge, to the very detail of thier new discovery to all other members of the company within and outside the country.
At the beginning, not all the workers were willing to share thier knowledge as to them, knowledge is power. What makes them stay in thier position, high among the rest is power and the power is from the knowledge they have. (Robbins et. al., 2003)
Back to reality, where we stand. Where are we? are we those who are prepare to share every single thing? are we? or are we those who just sit quietly at a corner, holding a file with pad locks that holds all the information and knowledge we have?
Lets just assume we do not share most of our knowledge, including me!
If knowledge were not shared, how would you know that the knowledge you have if gonna be true for the rest of the millenium ?
If knowledge were not shared, how would you know how much you understand of that knowledge?
If knowledge were not shared, how many more new discovery could be derive from the existing knowledge?
Neither of the answers are known unless you work it out urslef...
as for me, not till i teach primary i understand more of the basic concept. Y is it so ? the answer is simple, at the age of 10, i've learn that anything which added with heat will increase in volume, however, we were taught that the water has a different one, which from water to ice, heat was remove but still the volume increased. At the age of a standard 4 student, all i can do is juz memorize... not much of understanding.. even until the UPSR i also donoe the teory behind. Till i teach.. den i understnad more... as more knowledge i share, i felt that i understnad more... try it and you will know wat i was saying...
