We live in a knowledge age where
information is transferred almost at the speed of light and it is constantly
changing which requires us to stay informed about the latest developments in
order to remain relevant in the different spheres of life. I am one of those
people that started reading at a very tender age and back then a story would
remain relevant for decades and it was okay to state a fact that had been
verified close to ten years go.
Times have changed so much in that
information is constantly being updated and those that stay informed tend to
take a lead in different spheres of life. It is unacceptable to be ignorant in
this day and age where information is at our finger tips however it is alarming
to note that more and more people are uninformed even about the latest
development in their own surroundings.
A knowledgeable person is a person who is
well-informed and well-knowing. He is well conversant in the area in which he
has gained knowledge and understanding. If you want to be knowledgeable in a
specific area, then, the pick the area of study and devote the required time to
study regularly.
Learning new skills at any age reaps a huge
amount of benefits including raising self-esteem, increasing our sense of
accomplishment and personal growth, as well as keeping those brain cells active
and well-used. To learn something effectively, we need to be present in the
sweet spot. This is the magical space where we are neither sitting in our
comfort zone nor forcing ourselves so much that we become demotivated.
The important thing to remember is that we
are all different when it comes to learning new information and skills. Understanding
your learning technique and utilizing it will allow you to become more
knowledgeable on the subject you’re learning. Once discovered, make this your
main source of learning, making sure you throw in some alternative ways for
optimal results.
Gaining knowledge aids you immensely in
managing both personal and professional life in an effective and efficient
manner. A well-informed and knowledgeable person is always seen respectfully in
the society and is referred to as an expert offering valuable advice and
suggestions.
One should always be interested in
increasing knowledge, but knowing the fact well that the knowledge must be
accompanied by wisdom. Improving knowledge and awareness and applying it
effectively on the basis of a good sense is one of the important things to do
which can make one’s life easier and better.
Seasoned conversationalists are usually
great storytellers and can carry on a conversation about a wide range of
topics. When you’re knowledgeable and well-read, small talk can become more
than an opportunity to pass the time. Instead, it’s an easy way to have
interesting conversations with clients and colleagues. If you’d like to take
your networking ability to the next level, set out to acquire a well-rounded
repertoire of conversational subjects. Read newspapers, books and magazines.
Listen to podcasts and TED talks. Sign up for classes and attend cultural
events. Whatever it takes, stay committed to learning.
