Why General Knowledge is Important

Wouldn’t you make a fool of yourself if you don’t know a little about a lot of things going around you or in general things that happened? Or wouldn’t you feel awkward if your friends or people around you, are having some healthy discussion and you’re not part of it because you are neither able to contribute your comments nor even able to understand what others speak.

You’ll definitely feel inarticulate because without proper general knowledge your socialization factor becomes a little constrained. If you don’t have a little knowledge about a lot of things you won’t be able to figure out what it is that you want to be, decision making very difficult without proper knowledge and you have to rely on advice of the other people. That is why general knowledge is a very basic need of human life. We need to experience the world at least through books, magazines, discussions or other sources before we tie ourselves to one anchor.
