Websites Where Knowledge Rules


picture-532

"When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it; this is knowledge." Analects of Confucius

 

How do you become the person you were meant to be? How do you better your situation? How do you snag that promotion, when promotions are in short supply?

Simple!

You have to separate yourself from the rest.

One way to separate yourself is to expand your body of knowledge, know more than the next person. Knowledge isn’t power, contrary to what many may say or think, it’s what you do with the knowledge that gives you power.

And, being good at one thing is no longer enough, you have to be good at many things. The more you work on expanding your knowledge base, the better your ability to problem solve and make better decisions because you have more data to access.

And when you work hard at becoming more knowledgeable, suddenly you start to feel lucky because opportunity after opportunity presents itself. But, opportunities are everywhere if you just take the time to look. Slow down, and breathe in what’s around you, take time to reflect on everything and you will be amazed at what you see and feel.

The following three websites where knowledge rules are just waiting for you to discover and explore them.

Ted.org
How Stuff Works
Infed.org

Take a visit, open your mind and expect to be fed. For starters, you could listen to Jill Bolte Taylor talk about her Stroke of Insight, learn how your brain impacts your chances for survival in the wilderness, or read about Greek scientist and philosopher Aristotle. The possibilities are endless and invisible mentors are all around you. Let us know what gems you have discovered. How can you apply what you have learned to your life?
