Week 11. Build up the Knowledge!
16/05/08
Lecture: I didn't attend this lecture because i was sick. I went back to training (Muay Thai) for the first time in months on Wednesday. I didn't get much sleep the previous night and had lots of er ans to run so i didn't eat much during the day, so by the time of training in the afternoon, i was very tired and it was a cold and rainy night. I should have left it for another time to go but i was so excited about going. So I'm paying the consequence of lowering my immune system and letting the virus take over and make me sick.
I'm sure i missed yet another very exciting lecture... ; )
Tasks: I first looked at the site http://www.success.co.il/is/dik.html
I looked up different words, which i found at: dictionary.com; I defined the following as:
Information- Knowledge gained through study, communication, research, instruction etc.
Knowledge- The fact or state of knowing; the perception of fact or truth; clear and certain mental apprehension.
Data- (used with a singular verb) a body of facts; information.
Wisdom- The quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.
My own definitions from the information i found would be that all of these words are vital if you understand them and put them into practice when; studying, finding information, judging someone/something etc.
You become afraid of things when you don't understand it. The wise person continues to learn as if they where to live forever.
Judgment should never be made on something until you have researched different sources and gained knowledge vastly on it. On the other hand- with people; you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Gain all the knowledge and information to collect the data and make a conclusion or solution to whatever it is.

Readings:
- http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm - This site gives definitions to data, information, knowledge, and wisdom.
- http://otec.uoregon.edu/data-wisdom.htm - This is the same type of site as the above but is more informative and looks at the definitions of each more thoroughly.
