Which is better? Book sense or street sense?

Question

I would like some feed back on what the media thinks.

Answer 1

street sense is good in its ways-- to know how to survive is a good thing....Book sense depends on the book....the Bible has changed my life....

Answer 2

Both are equal in my opinion, cuz say you are lost in the city and you need to ask direction are you gonna stop and ask directions in a good neighborhood or in a not so good neighborhood? What if you have no choice ur lost right? Say it is not so good neighborhood u are in if you treat others the way you want to be treated think things will go smoothly don't overreact and let your emotions get the best of you that is street smarts. If you are directed to a map by some gas station attendandt, well you better know what is the difference between streets and avenues. North, South, East or West, and also your numbers. this is book smarts.

Answer 3

The majority of the media doesn't think in anything but liberal terms. It is documented that less than 5% of the media have any kind of religious affiliation so there is no way they could be objective on anything.

There are a few exceptions. Some people of all faiths work in the media, but by and large they are liberal in all things.

To ask someone to give you advice on something that has no objectivity in them is a waste of time.

I have run the streets as a dope pusher for years but then I ran into the author of a really great book who changed my thinking and my life, so I would have to say "book sense."
THE BOOK IS THE BIBLE AND GOD IS THE AUTHOR.

Answer 4

The both have there place. I tend to like experiential sense more than book sense. It all depends of the quality of the material of the books. Sometimes the only way to get insights into great minds are through books.

Answer 5

Maybe a book about street sense.

Answer 6

Do you mean book smart or street smart? Well doesn't that depend on the application? I mean street smarts isn't going to help much when attempting a frontal lobotomy. And book learning isn't going to help you get along on the streets.

Answer 7

it depends on what situation you are in. If you are in school, book sense is more important. But if you are trying not to get robbed, street sense is more important. Depending on which strength you have, you can decide where you should spend most of your time. ;-)

Answer 8

Both....... In the end I would say Book.
........ i really don't like the terms book sense or street sense.

What do you mean by Street Sense..... as in selling drugs.....
I know you don't. You need sales skills. You have to be able to sell your self and you ideas/product. Book sense you need knowledge of you product to sell it. You need knowledge of money to know how to turn money in to money.(have your money make money for you without you working for your money)

Then you have hard work. So any way you need to be more specific in what you are looking for. There is not substituted for reading books. There is a substitute for hard work.... that's working smart.

Answer 9

I go by the book

Answer 10

Well a book will not stop you from getting your butt kicked..
But..
Street Smarts will not get you off the streets..
