Human's Greatest Strength

             Today’s blog topic is deciding what the greatest strength of human is. In my opinion, I think that head and thinking is the greatest strength of a person. This is because with knowledge and intelligence, you can do many things, but with no knowledge, you won’t have many chances. Knowledge is considered the most important aspect of a person. There is an old saying in Korea which is that even if you go into the tiger’s den, if you have your mind all set, you can escape. All the people who succeeded have knowledge and has advanced and earned a lot of money through their knowledge. I believe that knowledge and intelligence is the most important and greatest strength of a human.

             Many people might think that strength and power is the greatest strength. However, I found out that there are so much things you can’t do with just only power. There are many people who think that they’ve got everything because their power. If it comes down to arguing, the person with power and strength will only trust in their punches or kicks. However, the person with intelligence might sort the things out and make the relationships better. The person with knowledge might tell him to calm down and explain what is going on and make him understand, and he might be able to change the person’s mind.

             Another reason why intelligence and knowledge is important is because it increases your social skill. When you go to college or any places where you are not used to, it is easy to get lost and feel isolated. However, if you have knowledge, you can relate that to the topics that the people are talking about and maybe get friends. With much diversity among people, knowledge is one key which you need to become friendly with the foreign people.

             When I was young, the usual saying that I got from my parents were that to gain respect and better treatments by fellow people is to gain knowledge. As I grew older, I started to believe and think that this is a correct saying. When you become older, you start to work in companies and factories. The thing that most companies look at is how you can use your knowledge. Knowledge is important because it can get you better opportunities in your field of work. The one thing that my parents focus on me is to get knowledge in foreign languages. They said that if you know more than 1 languages which is your first language, you can have a better job and better salary. This might be true because there are many companies who are looking for people who can speak different kinds of languages and who can get along with them easily. Especially in hotels, they look for people who can speak foreign languages because they need someone who can translate what the customer is saying.

             With the people challenging in the society for better jobs and respect, there are many things that you need to achieve and learn. In my opinion, what I think is that knowledge is the important key to achieving better jobs and respect. Not only it improves your social skills, but it also can get you respect over fellow workers or friends.
