Welcome to KenBuster
If you love general knowledge as much as I do, Kenbuster is the website you should visit. I love general knowledge and everything it represents, and this website is a way of sharing this with the world.
There’s something very liberating about the amount of knowledge that’s out there for us to discover. The world we exist in is a walking encyclopedia, and there is no limit to the things we can all learn beyond the four walls of the classroom. From random facts that will amaze you to tips on how to make a good pub quiz, this website will help you improve your General knowledge and sharpen your understanding on all the things you’re interested in.
Nothing is beyond your ken
More than a Knowledge website, this website will help you appreciate that truly, nothing is beyond your ken. “Ken” is defined as “one’s range of knowledge or understanding.” Another definition talks about ken being your “range of perception, understanding, or knowledge.” In the olden times it was used to describe “the range of vision” and someone’s sight or view.
What this website aims to achieve is to show people that information is readily available, and if you open your mind to it, general knowledge can fill your mind and make you a better person overall. You don’t have to limit yourself to the textbooks and lessons that are required in school, because the fun of learning extends beyond that.
Improving your ken
Kenbuster helps you do this by filling your brains with facts and general knowledge tidbits that you wouldn’t normally learn in school or in other traditional learning materials. These are some of the benefits you can enjoy from this website:
- You will be a pro at joining (or even hosting) a pub quiz in no time.
With all the facts that this website is filled with, as well as tips on how to enjoy and make your own pub quiz, then you will be a pub quiz pro in no time. Even if you don’t need it for a pub night and just for an option in entertaining friends, Kenbuster can definitely help. Who knows where you might end up!
- People will want to talk to you.
This site helps you improve your general knowledge, and as a result of that people will want to strike conversations with you. There will never be a dull conversation when you’re around, because by improving your ken you will have so much to offer.
- You will be equipped to make better decisions.
General knowledge can be as random as the ones you learn for trivia, but there are facts that are part of your general knowledge that can potentially help you make better decisions. After all, knowledge is power.
Given all this, the best thing about Kenbuster is that just like general knowledge, you can never have too much. There are a million things you can learn and these things change with time, so just keep coming back to this website for new general knowledge tidbits and tips.
Have fun learning!
Knowledge for a new skill or trade
It might never seem like the right time to learn a new skill. There’s always other jobs that can get in the way, and there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get it all done. If you’re wondering about the future, and aren’t sure that the path you’re taking is the right one for you, don’t panic.
Over the last few years, online training has exploded, and there’s never been a better or easier time to pick up some new skills that could develop into an entirely new career, no matter what age you are.
Sites such as Udemy have a range of courses, with everything from graphic design to accountancy. Some of these skills may be missing from your business, and it’s easy to join one of the courses to see how it fits.
Some estimates indicate that as much as fifty percent of the UK’s population feel that they’re in an unsuitable career.
Seven years ago, Donna Lubrano was working in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. Since then, she’s changed everything, and now she works for a university in Massachusetts, teaching courses to business students. She made this big change at the age of 52, and it wasn’t the first time that she had revolutionised her working life. Prior to the life as a fitness professional, she worked in the property industry, but grew bored of her role in property portfolio management. A masters degree in international business gave her the foundation she needed to build a career in many fields, and she knew that the time had come to move on to something new. Teaching was the way forward for her.
It’s not just knowledge work that can be learned online or in the real world. There are many opportunities out there to get the skills needed for a hands-on career such as carpentry or building work. Although it’s possible to take courses at specialised training companies, there are also plenty of places to learn online, the most popular of which is now Youtube. Whole manual disciplines can be learned to a certain degree online, but you’re going to need to put in the real-world hours if you want to become an expert at any of these skills. Anthony Gilardi operates an incredible youtube channel which takes you not just through carpentry, but many other practical skills that could help you on you way into a new career. He explains clearly and demonstrates well so that even those with no experience can get a grounding in such trades.
A career change was on the cards for a plumber in Northwich following a 15 year role as a teacher. Paul Barker still loved the role of being a teacher, but in spite of the famous long holidays (most of which were spent preparing for the next school year), he wanted to become his own boss An 8 week course at a Cheshire plumbing skills centre set him off on this new path, and he’s become more more satisfied with his working life. “I’ve always been working for someone else before this, but now I’m able to stand on my own two feet, and as long as I carry out good work, there always seems to be more business just around the corner”.
It’s never to late to change your way in life. Get out there and learn something new today.
