Know Why

Initially one should be clear in mind to know what exactly one wants . Then one can strive to get the know how . That simply would also not help . One has to find out why that know how was fathomed in the first instance . Then only one can adjust the know how to suit ones needs and circumstances and abilities .
Following clarifies this .
A few years back National Geographic mentioned plight of two species of same types of big birds in deep Sahara desert . While one of the species was thriving , the other was dwindling. They both survived on the remains of dead camels etc in the desert . It was observed that the thriving specie exactly knew what it wanted, we now call know what- small bits of large bones which they could easily swallow. They found out the ways and means to achieve that -- we now call know how . They would simply pick up huge bones in their claws , fly high and drop it on a hard rocky surface . The bone would break into smithreens which the birds would consume to remain alive . They thrived on their know how . But the other specie copied the know how blindly without understanding as to why the bones are dropped on a hard surface . They dropped the bones on the sand itself . Bones hardly broke . The birds were therefore starved and died . The importance of know why needs no stress .
Infact whatever we do , we must ask ourselves why are we doing this . Then your actions would not be futile . Think it over .
