Remy Rhayam:Knowing Nothing

Knowing Nothing Socrates said, “To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.” This quote is very meaningful because it brings us to reality. People can’t know everything in this world. They only know little things, and sometimes they may understand wrongly. In other words, people think that they know everything about something, but in reality they have little ideas about that. Last Saturday, I went to Blom Bank headquarter in Verdun. When I arrived I had been fascinated by the beauty and the immensity of the apartment. The entire building was glassy and composed by many floors. We went into the room where the presentation had taken place. A classy woman who is a member in “Blom Shabeb” came into the room and begun to give us general information about the Lebanese Banking System. First, she told us the difference between a credit card and debit card. Second, she continued to talk about kinds of accounts, bank secrecy, loans and interest. When she had finished her presentation, I discovered that I had wrong knowledge about some issues related to the Bank’s work. It was a great experience to know how banks work and to have some knowledge when I want to open an account at a bank. Furthermore, it was very beneficial for me because my future major will be business and especially Finance, so maybe I will work in a bank when I will graduate. In conclusion, we should know an important thing in this life that we cannot know every single detail about everything because life is changeable. Thus, we have some information about something, and we ignore others.
