Question

How you can encourage your friends more important to knowledge then mark?

Answer 1

I would like to answer this question using Benjamin Franklin's quote that "an investment in knowledge gives the best interest ". Obviously having the right kind of knowledge is important. However, in today's world marks/grades are given more importance to, at least while in school or in college. Because you will get an entry into a good college or University based on your good grades.  Also, you will be considered for an interview based on your academic record on paper i.e. only marks /grades will be given importance to for short listing for start up job interviews. So one should strive to seek balance between scoring good marks and acquiring knowledge. Because not scoring good marks will not open doors of opportunities for you even if you have knowledge because if you won't get an opportunity how would you prove that you have knowledge. Nevertheless, in the long run knowledge is important and of course, application of knowledge in practice is more important.
