Does knowledge equal experience, or experience equal knowledge?
Walaikum Salaam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu well my day is going really gr8 so far...alhamdolillah as 4 ur question my answer is: I will give my personal opinion on this i really find it interesting i think it is both: knowledge=experience and experience= knowledge for example if u have knowledge on a certain 'aspect' you will find some experience along the way and laso if u have experience abt something then you know or will have the knowledge on what to do the next time or you will have knowlege on the experience you went through um....i think you need experience and knowledge to understand what a person goes through...becoz if u dont then u might just judge the person in a very bad way or you will judge the person or what he/she is going through in a way which is totally different from the reality finallly.....empathy means.......its like u have this ability...(knowledge and experience) to understand somebody's feelings.. sympathy is to feel the pain or sorrow of another person...i.e. to undertsnad and feel what the person is going through. well i just hope i have helped Wassalaam Pari
Why do some people hesitate to share their knowledge?
The reasons for this are many and varied in my experience.Some people are too shy, some people just don't care enough: either not bothered, too selfish or too busy doing other things.The shyness is lack of confidence in either their knowledge or their ability to speak clearly, or fear of what people might think. Some people are intimidated by the confidence with which some people talk (despite many people speaking confidently about topics they know nothing about - somewhat common on Quora). Depending on the forum, there are often opportunities for others to criticise or disagree, and that may cause fear. A lot of people hate confrontation.
Why don't some people share their experience and knowledge?
Because people tend to judge! And label!Now, judgement is not bad, per se, but in order to make a proper judgement, one needs to be perceptive enough (somehow bring it to one's own spectrum of experience, or one will never understand), and compassionate enough. Both are hard enough!!Essentially, judgement and labelling/stereotyping seems often like human impulse. I believe humans do so because - judgement is essentially done as part of a "defense mechanism" by the mind to save oneself of hurt, and labelling/stereotyping, to save the brain of thinking, for thinking is hard.So, you see, it's not really the judgement and labelling that I think one detests, but rather misinformation and lack of understanding which leads to improper judgement. Some people are wise enough to see this, and thus aren't fond of sharing experience and knowledge, though they'd like to, for it's good to get heard.Thanks for the A2A!
Why do we feel the urge to share things?
A possible reason is, our "Self" has a longing to be identified, to get noticed, we feel more complete when we get appreciation , i have read that as "Ego's longing for completeness " , in a book named "The Power of Now" by Echart Tolle. This can be easily confirmed, if you can feel that you are waiting for their response , when you have shared something , or if you feel very happy if its a positive response and the other way around.But if you have a state of mind where you are not at all bothered about the outcome or response and you are just sharing it for fun or for inspiring some one, or just to create a positive vib. Then that's a more evolved state of mind.I have observed both.And i have observed cases where people have evolved from the first mentioned category to the other with respect to time.
It seems by nature we are born not feeling we need to share, yet we teach the need to share material objects, information, emotions, and experiences? Why is sharing important?
Sharing is the important if the right information is being shared to anyone, related to anything either materialistic or emotions or experiences.See if a person shares something good that doesn't harm you anyway but yes it depends upon you how you take it, your perception,knowledge or thinking & your attitude towards it determine whether it's important for you or not. And even if it's not important also you should listen what other people wanna share & say about his /her life because it helps you to learn in direct/ indirect way. You can learn or understand what other people think & have perception about life.Am not just talking about sharing of information. Yes sharing of materialistic things or emotions is also important because till whenever you're alive you can't live alone by yourself holding your information, emotions. even if you want to because that's life there will be some circumstances in your life when you need someone to share your emotions with & trust me strangers are always the first one you share your information with if you're type of person who think sharing is secondary.And people who share wrong information are infirm in terms of sharing. (If it is not for good cause)Being unbiased i will say it depends upon you only if you want to share or not.
Is sharing knowledge good or bad?
Thanks for A2A.Most of the times sharing knowledge is boosts your own growth. I would still classify this as situational.The whole society exists because we have transferred our knowledge from one generation to another and here we are playing with the electrons which hit the fluorescence and glow the screens around us. However let me tell you about the situations which a person may face in his/her life:SITUATION 1: You are a scientist and you know how to make a nuclear reactor and its working, while on your way to your lab you were kidnapped by a group of people into another lab, there you were asked to share your knowledge so that it could help them make a bomb. You are not supposed to share your knowledge, no matter what they do to you.SITUATION 2: You are a computer scientist at one of the most esteemed institutions of India. You are working on a very mission critical algorithm/product with your fellow team members. Your success depends upon the success of your mission.You must be knowing that India is obsessed with plagiarism. If any "critical" information gets leaked out, your final product may already be out and functional the next morning.You have to learn how to hide key points of your expertise so that the functionality cannot be implemented by others without your help. (Take help of obfuscation or whatever you want) SITUATION 3: You are a student who holds certain expertise on a topic. The topic is easily accessible to all other people who are studying with you. There are a few trivial stuff which are surpassing the understanding of others.If you have time you can try to help them understand the gist.There is always a substantial growth when you are sharing your knowledge but take care of the critical instances like 1 and 2
Why does mankind need to tell and hear stories?
So we know who we are.
How do I share knowledge without sounding like a know it all?
I would recommend doing two things.Ask what they already know about the topic. This gives them the opportunity to speak, and gives you the chance to gauge their pre-existing knowledge. Make sure to listen. See if you can understand the chain of reasoning behind what they’re saying, especially if they say things you know are false. If you’re going to convince them they’re wrong, it’s much easier to do so when you know why they believe it.See what you can add to the conversation. You don’t need to share everything you know, just start slow and simple, perhaps fill in some of the holes of their knowledge or focus on things the other person seems to find especially interesting. Acknowledge things you both agree on, point out things you disagree about, present why. Check in periodically by asking for their thoughts, or even to confirm if you’re getting your point across. Most importantly, gauge their interest level; if they’re fading, it may be time to wrap it up or ask a question.
