Scrabble: Is Knowledge
“A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.” ~ James Joyce
James Joyce never played scrabble but every time I misspell a word and my phoney is challenged off the board by my opponent, I learn the correct spelling of the word I was trying to play.

“Sometimes I’m confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn’t obvious…” ~ Michael Stipe
Michael Stipe may not have played scrabble. I obviously become confused when my opponent tries to hook an ‘ing’ word with an ‘S’ (…ings).

“Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” ~ Osscar Wilde

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That’s what I keep trying to tell all my students and club members, apply, do, take an action.

“Information is not knowledge.”
~ Albert Einstein
He didn’t like scrabble anyway.

“Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” ~ Anton Chekhov
Use it or lose it. Even the most seasoned scrabble champions continue to review the OWL2 to keep the words fresh in their memory.

“To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
Knowing that we don’t know everything keeps us open to new information.
