68 / 365 Read and Acquire Knowledge
Reading
is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Sir Richard Steele
Fine tune and improve the quality of your
‘reading portfolio’. In an era of infinite and exciting opportunities, we can
realise even a very ‘wild’ dream through an effective strategy. Focused
knowledge acquisition should be an integral part of our success strategy.
Compared to ten years ago, our competition has also grown several times and we
should be intelligent enough to survive competition.
The cutting edge which will decide our
success is our knowledge base, which will assume great importance in the era of
perfect competition. Consider the following:
- Focus
on your reading. Do not read everything and anything.
- Read
with a purpose. Before reading, decide how it will be useful.
- Set
aside specific time and place to read. Even if you skip eating, don’t skip
reading!
- Use technology to improve your reading. Use internet, e-books, audio books, iPods etc
- Target your reading topicwise, form a discussion group and a study group.
Honestly audit your reading portfolio to
check if it is adequate, given your responsibility and ambitions in life.
Remember that knowledge acquisition is an important survival strategy and not a
luxury anymore!
