Wow so that really makes a lot of sense
then what you're saying is it doesn't
matter what books you read it depends on
what stage you're in that you read
certain books correct right correct so
then I guess my next question would be
because I say you read a lot of books
and so how do you effectively learn you
know what's the fastest way to get the
best information out in a short period
of time
[Music]
I don't read books I use books and
that's a big distinction so when I read
a book my idea I'm not trying to
understand everything the author's
saying I'm not I'm trying to understand
all his background because the purpose
of learning the purpose of learning is
mastery
it's all about implementation so some
example gives you an example sometimes
if I'm reading a book it's not like all
you know I know there are people talking
about I read a book a day I read a book
a week or whatever I read about two to
three books a week I'm constantly
learning podcasts or different programs
or different things or talking to
consultants that's how I learned the
most but when it comes to reading I read
a book sometimes if I'm looking for any
book that I read I have a simple
question I want to get through what are
the three ideas that I can get from a
book that can implement right now just a
suite not 10 not 20 not 103 ideas if I
could get those three ideas from the
first three chapters I highlight those I
will take those and I'll put the book
away I'll put it back on the Shelf maybe
later on I'll go back there and read out
the rest of the book and implement some
of the other ideas but if I got my big
three that's all I mean sometimes I
would get those ideas in the back of
each chapter where they're talking about
action steps and summary and resources
that's awesome
sometimes I got the idea just from that
table of content if I got ripped the
table read the table content that gave
me enough or three ideas I put it away
and then it just implemented so I don't
read books it's not about accumulation I
think here's a big distinction I want
you to get
one of the most powerful tool when the
boat most powerful mindset you need to
have in life on business is clarity and
clarity is power clarity is power and
what is power the power is the ability
to take action so if the more you read
the more confused that you get it gives
you less clarity it means it takes away
from your power if more reading gives
you more clarity and gives you more
ability to act that's good
that's powerful right that's that's on
the right track so there's a big
difference between information and
knowledge and knowledge to wisdom let me
explain this wood gives you a lot of
clarity information is just facts data
numbers figures theories principles
that's just information there's a lot of
information on the Internet
there's a lot of information on YouTube
there's a lot of information on Google
there's a lot of information but
information itself does not help you it
does not make you richer it does not
does not make you happier it does not
make you healthier it does not make you
smarter information is just information
it's like you need go to school right
you're reading your going to class you
your your textbook there's a lot of
information in the textbook right that's
the first stage once you gather enough
information now you're accumulating what
I call knowledge so you get a lot
information and you now learn about the
distinctions now you take that
information you apply it or me take that
information and you you take a test
that's knowledge after the test you know
after the exam in school oh that works
so oh no that was the wrong answer or I
didn't pass the the the exam or here
they're the mistakes that I got wrong
well you're learning from it right
that's accumulating your knowledge so a
lot of people they read books to acquire
information you want
quite information and you wonder how
come I'm watching a lot of videos I'm
learning but my life is did a
same because you haven't convert
information to knowledge and from
knowledge into experience now how to
convert knowledge into experience so now
you get you know acquire some knowledge
you've got to implement and the only way
you get experience and you up a
lot right you make the mistakes you see
if this stuff works right now you're
getting experience you're seeing a
pattern of things going goes back to the
the school example now you take enough
exams remember the class you take from
like great 9 10 11 12 right now you're
taking of exams studying the same
subject for many years in a row now you
see a pattern okay
I'm accumulating more things I'm getting
more experience of what works and what
doesn't
now experience that's much more valuable
it's more valuable in knowledge and
knowledge is more available information
so books itself is just information
information does not change your life
information doesn't change your life you
got to convert it by gathering a filter
into knowledge from knowledge now you
implement now you get to the next step
which is experience then from experience
from now you you have done it long
enough a long period of time now is
evolved into your wisdom
and that's a big difference between
information or even knowledge versus
knowledge versus wisdom I don't think
I'm a people even talk to most people I
don't think I'm a super smart guy they I
don't think these describe me as a smart
guy they did describe more me as a wise
man I'm wise because I've done a lot of
things a lot of experience right and
that's a big a lot of people are smart
but they're not wise wisdom is something
completely different okay
wisdom is knowing what not to do wisdom
is knowing when you don't have to do
something so let's say enough experience
you know what this is how I'm going to
make this work these are 20 things that
I could do my experience tells me these
are the 20 things I could do to make me
successful wisdom is knowing okay 19
leads is just do this one that
is the difference knowledge is about
accumulation wisdom is about elimination
sleep on that wisdom it's about
elimination
it is about simplicity it's about it's
not about daily increase is about daily
decrease but you cannot get the wisdom
without knowledge you cannot get the
wisdom without experience you have to go
through all of that
now you can simplify everything that you
do and there are only few things that
you need to do to get you the results
you don't need to do a hundred things
you can do a couple of things and you do
it well and that's wisdom and most
people they're smart but they're not
wise and you can tell they're you can
tell from the way that they share the
the way that they communicate there's
not a lot of depth where they where they
speak from the places speak from it
lacks a lot of depth but when you're
talking to a wise man you see wow that
makes a lot of sense
whatever he's speaking about it makes a
lot of sense
that's depth behind those words that's
wisdom that's what I'm talking about so
I don't read books I use books it's all
about taking ideas ticking information
converted into knowledge and as soon I
think I convert your knowledge I wanted
to turn into an experience and then I
want to filter through my years of
experience and then condense that into
wisdom that I have that what works for
me what works for me may not work for
you my wisdom is different from yours
but this is what works for me so there
are many stages learning it's not so
much on what books are you reading or or
what's the best way to learn or all this
stuff you see it's a very surface level
question you need it go deeper than them
you need to go deeper than that
you need to go beyond and just watching
videos they're now taking the
information when I'm teaching you
implementing it go out there in a real
row apply this and see what works
what works for you what doesn't work for
you you got to go you can you can read
about how to swim until you are in the
swimming pool right until you swim you
learn and now you can win back and forth
many many laps and then
swimming in the lake right that's
experience now when you have wisdom you
go sleep and a swimming is swim in the
ocean but you also know better not go
dead area there's sharks there right
that's wisdom so comment below how are
you gonna change the way that you learn
how are gonna change the way that you
read books how are you gonna change the
way not just learning a gathering more
information but accumulating true
knowledge true experience and eventually
wisdom don't forget subscribe key the
subscribe button and turn on occasion
turn on the bell if you want to get
wiser not just modern but wiser watch
these videos right here right here and
if you ask me a geek question on their
way to work I'm gonna answer it
right here in my boss new baby series
just like this and what a beautiful day
until next time I'll see you my damage
