“Action is the true measure of intelligence”- Napoleon Hill. No matter the position the person is in, there will always be opportunities to gain knowledge. In many cases, people do not have the opportunity to go to a college and therefore have to get a manual labor job, but in many cases they are not recognized as having the ability to receive intelligence because they do not go to a college and do not have to go to a workplace. In reality, their potential may be much higher than expected because in the blue-collar workplace they can learn something new that may never be taught at a four-year institution. The worker can receive knowledge by simply working and this increases his level of intelligence. It may be different than the knowledge a student can receive, but ultimately it is knowledge conceived in their current position. Knowledge is the universal meaning that anyone or anything can learn something, it just takes time and will to make it a reality. I myself have seen that it is possible to learn and receive knowledge in the workplace. In my current position I work as a dishwasher and this has taught me that with hard work and dedication you can learn to achieve your goals by working hard. Just because you work in a blue-collar job doesn't mean your intelligence levels are low, but it's more of an opportunity to mature and gain knowledge and experience for further labors. The worker is seen as a narrow-minded person who does not have the potential to be intelligent. In many cases knowledge can be formed in many methods. Knowledge doesn't have to be in the classroom. It can be in the workplace because with daily experience you learn from your mistakes and therefore do better the next time. ...... middle of paper ...... for people willing to take action to learn. People are interested in different things and end up making us learn different methods due to interest because in this world there is no perfect being, only people who want to know more. in conclusion, workers are intelligent, even if the knowledge they acquired did not happen in a classroom but in a work environment. Just having a college degree means you are the smartest being in the world. The working class is also learning, but they have learned a different way: by working hard and with dedication they can succeed and be able to keep themselves comfortable every day. the words of the working class due to the difficulty of the work and many do not go to school due to lack of opportunities and we must acquire knowledge by a different method. knowledge is universal.
