Letter: True worth

Published 3 December 1994

From J.N. Chubb, John Chubb Instrumentation, Cheltenham

I received a folder promoting Âé¶¹´«Ã½.

The promotional line “You are what you know” struck a discord with me – it is not true. It is truer to say you are what you do. What you do affects other people. This is a basis for judging the value of your actions by others and yourself – and gives you feedback on the utility and truth of your “knowledge”. What you know may help what you do, but it is purely personal.
