⁠50 GK Questions for Class 4

"We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn."- Mary Catherine Bateson

This prominent writer eloquently explains that we do not depend on our identity but on our proactiveness and willingness to gain new information that will shape the ideas, facts, and skills we accumulate with our curiosity.

It is a fact that the more you learn about the world, the more intelligent you become in life. General knowledge is not knowing facts; it's about the curiosity that comes from within us, and eventually, critical thinking can be born. When children build a strong connection with general knowledge at a young age, opportunities will start blooming out of nowhere, academically and personally.

One has to be ardent to learn and build knowledge whether it is current affairs, diverse cultures, or important historical facts that shape today's world. Knowing this does not make one brighter but helps them grow emotionally, socially, and psychologically. Let's not forget it also shapes the mind to think, and solve more problems and therefore makes them informed citizens. This also makes for more interesting conversations while making them more confident at the same time in this world today.
