You know…we can never run out of water on this planet...but we will run out of drinking water and than we will run out of our life. World is having 71% water and remaining as land...but what’s the use of those 71% water if we can't drink it.



The same analogy applies to a person who is intelligent, knowledgeable, smart, handsome, good built, good communication...but what is the use of this thing if he can't use it, apply it.



Let me explain you this with a small two stories which will give you a better idea of what I am saying.



Story one: About my college life



"I was good in academics, in the first four semester of my graduation I scored first rank and than I stepped into the final year, fifth semester. In the same year a new student, called Sharukh Khan (name changed) joined the class, very bright, full of knowledge, got work experience also, 1000 times better than me or any one in class. He had every answer about any question. Teacher also liked him. My classmates warned me, dude....you got a competition and it looks that you cannot top this time in college.



It was really a shock for me and somewhere in my heart I was also started thinking...I may not compete this guy.



Than final exams of fifth semester came...everyone appeared, including me. But...what about Sharukh Khan? Actually he skipped 4 exams out of the total 6 exams.



Interesting n, a guy who scored more marks than any one in class...skipped the final exams.



Now here comes, the reason...What is the use of having water in Sea, if we can't drink it". Sharukh was very good in studies, having good knowledge of subject etc...but he had one of the biggest weaknesses and that is he gets nervous before exam and get so much tension that his mind stops working and he feel really depressed...this was the reason he skipped the exams.



Ohh...by the way I forget to tell one thing, that he was my senior and done the same thing in his class and was dropped out to our class. And than again he repeated the same thing in our class also and was dropped out again.



Learning: It doesn't matter how good you are in studies, or your respective area...if you can't apply or use that knowledge. If you can't apply your knowledge, experience...dude, you better start drinking sea water.



Story Two: About my work life



You can see many examples of this saying, around yourself, you just have to move your head little bit...that’s all. Now, after passing my college, I joined an organization and was enjoying my work. One of my colleague, his name is Salman Khan (name changed) was the best one in the team, an extrovert, very strong command in the field.



But, again...it’s of no use if you have knowledge, experience....if you can't apply it or don't use it or afraid of using it (opps...why a person should be afraid of applying knowledge : D)



Whenever, the team gets new assignment, or work is allotted to him...he use to be the first person in the team saying...this can't be done, that can't be done. And also he was the one who use to avoid taking any responsibilities, trying to find out the loopholes of getting work done in easiest way.



This attitude and not using your true power...worked against him, as everyone in the team was started saying about him, complaining about him.



Learning: If you have talent, knowledge, experience...use it mate.



Final words:

There are many such people whom I have met or worked with. These are the person who claims that they have knowledge, experience in a particular field...but what’s the use of such knowledge if they don’t use it for meeting their objective, company's objective.



If you don't have a knowledge, its ok...if you have zeal to learn and implement, apply more than what you are having.



I have seen many people, saying....I can't do this work because I don't have knowledge about it…and I have seen people who say I can't do this...though they have knowledge to work.



My answer to both of such unique personalities...you are like a sea, which stores gallons of water...but what's the use if you, yourself can't drink it.



You can't reach top...if you have such attitude. A person with 1000 times less knowledge, experience than you can easily beat you in any game of life.
