The World's Smartest People In The World

Knowledge is the base to everything that we understand or are aware of in our world. Whether knowing what one needs to do to achieve a goal, the science of chemistry, or that what is polite here may be seen as rude in other parts of the world, they all result in the process of experience and/or education.

For example someone who knows about heating and cooling has a better chance at solving insulation problems on their own as opposed to someone who does …show more content…

This however still leaves the question of how would we have taught these animals such skills without obtaining that knowledge ourselves. Our curious minds have lead us to many great discoveries and understanding of the physical and abstract world around us. In conclusion, knowledge is a vital part of making someone become more open-minded, intellectual, and
