I have always wondered where our academic curriculums; law, politics, international relations, business administration, philosophy, biology, health, aviation or building come from, but now, I have found the answer to the above wonder. These academic curriculums come from our “repeated surroundings” and these repeated surroundings are referred to as the sources of any knowledge. What are repeated surroundings?

Repeated surroundings are any social phenomenon; good or bad, which have happened many times. Sources of education are instigated they touch the hearts of those caring about human lives and societies; consequently, they (those caring about human lives and societies) decide to be deeply aware of the issue and spread those issues to the public. To make them (those care about human lives and societies) deeply understand the issues and to syndicate to the public, collecting, codifying or other storing mechanisms are needed: from here come all any source of knowledge.

I stated that only repeated surroundings that can become our sources of knowledge, because anything that occur only once, would not touch the hearts of those humanitarian persons or would not the educational or preventive necessities for human beings and societies.

Let see the concrete examples in the society for clarity. Repeated traffic accidents (repeated surroundings) would lead to the establishment of laws and regulations related to road traffic: speed limits, civil compensation for those injured or sanctions to those committing serious negligence. Fridge-invention (one of technology-related subjects) was instigated by human desires to have cold or cool food or beverage and diplomatic law would be just arisen from the repeated relation approaches taken by two or more countries in the past ...etc.

All of us always grumble about the absolute complication of academic work, but just be aware that what we are being educated about are just the repeated surroundings from both the present and the past.

Above all we are just learning or reviewing what just came across us this morning, what we wrongly committed in the night club last night, repeating or encouraging the perfect things done by an illiterate child in Rwanda and other everyday phenomenon, behind or in front of us. Remember! Sources of knowledge are born from both good and bad repeated surroundings. For good phenomenon, such as national top student, law or regulations to encourage more outstanding students may be established. For bad phenomenon, such as intoxicated driving, law to ban intoxicated driving or to sanction intoxicated drivers would be resulted.

As a L.L.B student, translator, freelance newspaper columnist, media liaison officer and prolific on-line author, I do feel the complications from both academic and employed work; however, knowing this fact (the sources of any knowledge) has extensively helped me to break any barrier obstructing my path to achievements.

This knowledge-based article is to help or encourage those striving for better tomorrow to see a simplistic, yet foremost fact that would serve as their path to any end.

As Scientists look at different human brains while doing various tasks and watch which areas light up with energy as it works through these different thoughts and tasks we are finding just how unique and different each mind really is.
