Must read link¿

As someone who struggles to accept the notion that “higher education” always results in a smarter individual, I have for you today a very interesting link to an article pertaining to such a notion(http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/08/04/ernst-and-young-removes-degree-classification-entry-criteria_n_7932590.html?viksra). This article discusses how Ernst and young has decided to remove their degree classification entry criteria when considering hiring new recruits. Do not be fooled, this in no way insinuates that they will allow anybody to work for them, instead what this means is that they will be using other resources other than the typical GPA to determine whether a candidate is fit for employment. They will analyze the potential employee using online tests and will also use their past academic history in unison in order to determine as well. The message they are trying ot convey is that they do not believe academic history should be the sole qualification for obtaining a job with them, as well as academic history being a hindrance to job employment. The reason I decided to link this is that I believe it is not only very important as well as relevant to my blog, but I also believe other companies should move towards this method. It is sad to think that a determining factor in acquiring a job or just gauging general intelligence specifically comes down to GPA. I know a great deal of people who are incredibly smart, yet either struggled in school or decided to opt out of schooling at some point. The same goes for incredibly dumb people who have gone through years of schooling. The moral of this post is that knowledge comes from many other aspects in life other than school, and it is amazing to finally see a business adopting this train of though when considering new hires.

The power of Y

Throughout human history we have gained a plethora of knowledge. From the cosmos to how things work in the world pertaining to physics. But have you ever wondered not what we have learned, but how beings capable of no more than they were yesterday, were able to come to such realizations that would in turn answer so many questions? They asked why. Yes, once again I am being extremely vague and I may even be undermining many works of many extremely intelligent individuals, however, at the core they were hungry for answers and the first question they were bound to make at some point was “Why is that the way it is” and thus persevered on until they stumbled upon an answer. You may say “no Mr. ¿ they probably asked how” but in actuality is it not more intriguing to know WHY something is the way it is or WHY it works the way it works? You see what I am getting at is how powerful the question why truly is. Knowing that gravity is responsible for many aspects in physics as well as knowing that gravity is the reason why we are not floating off into an endless abyss. But I propose to you an interesting yet simple twist to that, which is WHY is gravity there to begin with? Why is gravity 9.81 m/s/s? I don’t mean for you to be that annoying kid in class who is too dense to understand even the most simplest of explanations but rather I am attempting to encourage you to seek out answers to questions that seem to have no answers because, you guessed it, one day one of you bright individuals may actually have an answer to that question or an even more mysterious question. As cliché as it may sound, I FIRMLY think every single human being with the capacity to think should question everything and anything because knowledge itself is truly the final frontier. When it comes to knowledge and the quest for such, stay thirsty my friends¡
