About This Quote
“In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.” These two phrases by Aristotle are very famous in the world of education. The first part of the statement, “In examinations,” is very well-known and has been used in textbooks and college exams for centuries. It has been used to emphasize the importance of filling out a test or exam completely. However, this saying is not just about tests.
It also applies to your career and your life. Often, our best ideas come while we are at work or in class. Sometimes, people have great ideas when they are simply sitting on their couch at home watching TV.
These great ideas are often easy to come by when you are doing nothing, but it must be taken advantage of immediately so you can get the recognition you deserve for your work.
