A friend once told me that an education is like an erection — when you have one, it’s obvious.
It really is like having a bulge in your pants that no one notices until they look down.
Depending on who you are, people will look down on you before they realize that you speak differently than they expected or you a possess certain intellect and knowledge beyond their expectations.
Their eyes may widen or their mouths may drop open once you’ve shattered their prejudgment about you with that educational tent you’re pitching.
The more knowledge you seek and continue to learn, the bigger that hard-on gets to the point (no pun intended) where everyone knows you have it as soon as you walk into the room.
Some may feel threatened by it once they notice and will try their best to diminish and undermine you.
But when you’re hard enough, they can’t make you soft with their feeble attempts.
Just don’t turn too fast and knock anything over — except for low expectations.
