Limited capacity for unlimited knowledge

Three weeks here at the LSE make me realize how immense the knowledge available out there, and how limited our capacity to learn that. To name some of those fields that I interested in, are : economic geography, spatial economy, economics of development, history, social entrepreneurship, microfinance, Islamic finance, and so on.

I realize deeper that, knowledge and science is an essential and important thing that shape our society. Then at the end we all should think on how these immense amount of knowledge can benefit our society in local, regional, national, and even global-scale.

God creates us with the ability to think. And to learn is an obligation for every single of us. Therefore, we better learn as much as we can. Take as much education as we can, because learning is a lifetime process. As i said, probably we have limitation to learn. We can't master everything because the very huge and rich nature of the knowledge itself. But then why not we use that limited ability to learn as good as we can.

"Semakin banyak saya belajar, semakin saya menyadari bahwa pengetahuan yang saya miliki sangatlah terbatas dan tidak ada apa-apanya."
