What is it that Master Yi says? "A master is an eternal student" and when you break it down that's a pretty interest idea.
The biggest lie in the world is when someone says "I know everything" but in truth no one does and no one ever will.
Do you know every language?
Can you cook every dish of the world?
can you draw in every style?
Can you recite poetry from your head?
What Yi means is that if you believe you know it all then you have blocked your mind and we never reach your potential but if you are willing to accept that there is always more you can learn and that you will never stop learning then your mind, body and heart is always open to new things and you in a sense become a master.

Reading Shakespeare, learning maths or anything does not make you smart I think ^^
Eh.
Maths and Science doesn't have all that much to do with culture (culture is the better word here, you are correct). And regardless of what culture you belong to, there are always scholars. I only mention Shakespeare and Faust because that's just things my culture studies. He's from Canada, so those scholars should be pretty similar for him (maybe not Faust so much).
The point being, he should be able to show these kind of credentials. Even if I didn't have my university transcripts, I'd be able to show that I know stuff from Immanuel Kant, JS Mill, Aristotle, Plato and so on.
On those kind of things not making you smart... you can argue for a relativity of smartness, but really, smart really just boils down to how quickly you can understand things as well as what you already know. Truthfully, I didn't need to ask for any credentials for this guy, because the way you present yourself can already tell a lot of people how smart you are. As you can see from this guy's extremely broken English (despite being from Ontario, Canada), as well as non-existent logic that he's not smart by any means of the word.

Well, not as much as you think you are. You've done nothing reportworthy or wrong by any means of the words.
Actually, you've been very constructive in your recent posts.

That's pretty much how I consider "being smart" too, therefore I guess yeah things like maths helps to a certain point ^^
For now I think we should ignore this kid ^^ (only kids try to justify themselves saying "i'm an adult).

We All know No one is perfect, everyone has flaws still if they like or not. On the Internet people can easily lie about anything to hide their insecurities. Some of us want to improve or be notice, but it doesn't mean were dumb.
Believe or not we are in the technology era & most of us Own Videogames & cellphones etc. I for one don't own an cellphone, because i can't afford it along with my bell package & an hypothesis that radio waves from cellphones could potentially be cancerous which is NOT said in stone yet. I'm sorry for being an health nut, but being muscular has its downfalls as well as being overweight.
Let me share some truth to the community which honesty comes first. As you guys did notice my english grammar is terrible, which i agree. Grade 4 I was an troublemaker and henceforth i got expelled even tho the past is the past. Another point since i was an troublemaker my adopted parents couldn't handle me around with 2 older daughters @ that time so i was placed in grouphomes/fosterhomes since i was at least 8yrs old. So as you can tell & I can say I've never graduated from elementary school. Magically got put into an different high school setting which i got grade 9 honors(WTF hows that possible), with @ least skipping out on four grades. As of highschool I'm consider as an dropout, because I hated my highschool setting i was bullied to an pulp & didn't care about my grades or classmates.
Visit my twitter page 67Vasile as this is the Truth.
Here's some other facts.
- I dislike Greed from NHL Players.
- I wasn't NOT born in Canada, but raised in Canada.
- I indeed have the hockey knowledge to go into sports management regardless if i need to know about the other sports.
- I could become an voice actor if I really wanted to, but that's another option.
- I'm 24 living in apartments like most of you, because lets face it the house market is just terrible.
- I'm looking for ANY employment, but lets face the facts, no where in my city is hiring & you need your high school diploma just to get an job these days.
My recent job interviews were Costco but two different locations lol.
So there you have it folks. ^^^
Ok I guess we can leave it at that Effort+Time+Teamwork=Skills. Skills by itself is too much praise. You wanna know Gustav Nyquist has the skills, but it's team game in all.
