I also do this. Sometimes I'm surprised I'm still employed because of it! 😂

I think this is one of the major dichotomies. People who consider not knowing something as an action item, and people who look at it as a shortcoming. Growth mindset vs rigid mindset.

Well said. It's remarkable how much we can learn in this day and age with relatively low effort. Surprisingly, a lot of people aren't even willing to put forth even that little amount.

The difficulty lies in managing all that knowledge and connecting it. Do you use any tools for that or is it all in your brain? For me #Logseq became my second brain. Couldn't work without it. #PKM

when reading, if you come across a word you don’t know, stop & look it up… all confusion comes from continuing without understanding the word you skipped

I was shocked by a study that showed most people (don't remember the exact percentage, but it was more than half) never read a book after graduating from school (high school or college). I can't comprehend that mentality. I have learned more since graduating college than I learned during my entire...

Please look up info about fundamental human needs. Surprisingly most people don't even know they have fundamental human needs the same as everyone else. I believe most of the today's worlds problems would be solved if people knew and understood that EVERYONE needs participation, idleness, affection,...
