As how you came to know it

 

Suppose you know 2+3 =5 or Earth has seasons

What makes it meaningful is when you know

  • The relationship between variables – the way they influence each other

  • In what situation does this knowledge become applicable

 

However, what makes it powerful is when you realise

  • How you came to know it – associated experiences, emotions, and meanings

  • How you make sense of things – build your model of reality & how it is shaping you

  • Who you are – how do you distil inputs into knowledge into wisdom

 

Self x (Mathematics + Geography) = My operating model = Me
