Booksmarts vs Streetsmarts
-
Which one you want to see less/more in Singapore?
More streetsmarts, less booksmarts pls.
-
it doesn't realli matter becos it's all destined.
.............and whatever you're destined to have, you'll be bestowed with the abilities/intelligence to get it.
see, even abilities and intelligence are destined by heavens. -
to add on:
even a person's character/thinking is destined, you believe or non? -
a mix of both.
streetsmarts will only get you so far though it IS my prefered style.
booksmarts is still something of a prerequisite. -
booksmart look dull n boring

Book smart = knowledgable
Street Smart = experience
A combination of both brings wonder.

I think streetsmarts can be booksmarts too,just that they are generally less hardworking on their books..Whereas being to be a streetsmart,its more of an inborn kinda thing,and those booksmarts can only try to learn from experience..

i believe there the gap should be closed. both complement each other and this is evident when someone with both and uses those smarts effectively comes along. of course the prefered one would be a generous helping of both, but realistically i'd rather have streetsmarts. booksmarts can get too stuck in their books. that doesn't mean i'm not chasing my papers though.

Imho, booksmarts generally do well in an unchanging environment and on tasks with fixed and certain answers but are the least adaptable in a changing environment and on tasks with no fixed answers, the streetsmarts outsmart and outwit them.
