You are what you know

I agree with the title because, first of all, knowledge is what separates us from animals. And secondly, people tend to classify us by what we know. So if you don't know anything, people think you're stupid. But if you're smart, people respect your ideas and knowledge. You can also think like this yourself. You can find yourself either stupid or smart or something in between. This can affect your behavior, your motivation at school and your self-confidence. So knowledge affects what you think about yourself and what everybody else thinks.
