How Knowledge Is Gained?

How is knowledge gained? What are the sources? To what extent might these vary according to age, education, and cultural background?

As we grow old we will continue to learn new things in life, weather it’s how to ride a bike or learn about our heritage and certain religions.

By increasing our knowledge we grasp a better understanding of certain things and we gained a better ability and a greater intelligence in that particular area. Some of the sources of knowledge include reason, intuition and instinct.
