The Learners, Not the Learned will Win!

Writing, just for the sake of it, to prove that I am serious about what I am doing. But am I really? Rather is anyone serious about anything at all? Or they are just posers just like me. I am of the opinion that the latter is true. (Music plays in the background )

Who are we kidding with this use of eloquent jargon for every aspect of life or business; the speaker, satisfied after he has bombarded a room full of under-confident people who think that the speaker is obviously someone great because he’s been asked to address them; the people impressed with the speaker’s phenomenal command over his technical lingo; later they all exchange business cards, each one in his mind wondering if the other knows the truth about him.
 
The truth, if someone thinks outside the bounds of their box, is that while the learned is putting on his vulgar display of power, the learners in order to recognise his deception will need to learn the language of the learned first to prove that the learner is more learned than the learned. So in order to prove that you are learned, you need to learn more and that is how the learned becomes a learner and since he is learning he is not learned. Hence the saying – “The learners, not the learned will win.”
