Usually, we have questions regarding one or another topic. How to stay well informed? Will our team win games? Do I need to put on rain boots, or will it shine today? Will we be safe and content through retirement? How about health? Long-term tasks and regular performance provide us with questions about what we should do, choose, or let go of.
How do people educate themselves?
Usually, most of us ask friends and relatives. Little girls or boy will ask their parents. Do they have the proper knowledge? Maybe. It depends on what kind of education and experience have their surrounding circles. It is extraordinary how far they explore unknown topics and what variety of sources they use.
The Internet versus books
Nowadays, the Internet is a chest of treasure, where you can find diamonds and broken toys, places with empty talk and advice which lead nowhere. There are sites such as Wikipedia which has a significant impact on readers. It is created and written by people from the whole world. Writers are experts in their described field. Also, companies build their websites, where information is given about their products. Otherwise, it is good to check sources twice. Feedback from real people as customers on Amazon.com can help decide what product to choose.
I wonder how many people read books? In these valuable reference books, manuals, and textbooks, we can find the experiences and thoughts of human beings. They spend an enormous amount of time exploring, gathering facts, make discoveries and inventions.
How to stay well informed?
Fiction books are for pleasure. It’s nice to dive into the writer’s fantasy world for a while. It helps relax or faster asleep. Reading for entertainment is suitable for a bit, but we need to stretch our minds. Picking the right book from a distinguished author can enormously impact our lives.
A quote by Earl Nightingale
People are like ponds or lakes; they need a constant inflow and outflow if they want to remain healthy, clean, and teeming with life. If they are damned all around-no pun intended- there is nothing for them but endless stagnation.
How to stay well informed? It is not enough to read newspapers. I better prefer not to read them because escalated topics do not change our lives for the better and give tension and worries. Reading books written by authorities in their field gives you insight into finding answers to your desired topic. It prompts us to create a safe environment for ourselves and our families. It does not matter if it is a financial or health-related action item. They all require real experts’ advice and impact.
Our friends and family want the best for us, but if we wish for an excellent foundation for our lives, we ask architects and builders how to start. We do not have time to do everything for ourselves. There are authorities in our desired field who will help with answers to questions.
