An educated person

Lots of good points in the post of course, but I couldn't help but think of a quote from Napoleon Hill which I find to be true:

"An educated person is not necessarily one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge... Any person is educated who knows where to get knowledge when it is needed and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action."

That is, it's more important to know how to find and apply the right information at the right time than it is to have an abundance of random information just taking up space in your head.
