| Richard Branson Sharing Ideas |
Okay, 80% of the 1% of wealthiest people in
the world dropped out of school, that will be your Billgates, Sir Richard
Branson, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs(RIP), Zuckerburg and etc, the list is almost
endless. One might think that this people dropped out of school because they
despised education or hated learning, this is not true, in fact this people
have continuously stated their unmeasured love for new knowledge, new knowledge
is what makes them be on top of the world, they feed on new knowledge. Most of
them support various education projects
in and out of Africa, they go around the world motivating people to invest
their time in educating themselves. The reasons why this people dropped out of
school are many but the dislike of education is not one of them, amongst the so
many reasons is because they felt like school was blocking their innovation by
keeping them in a system with a fixed non creative education program. In other
words, they felt like schoo
l is a prison to their creative thinking so they
left. Them living school did not stop them from reading and getting knew
knowledge everyday, it did not stop them from educating themselves. Bill Gates read
a max of 5 books a month, Richard Branson goes around the world meeting and
chatting to new people, this is called oral education. Zuckerburg also does a
lot of of oral education and book reading. So you see that the people on top of
the social pyramid invest lots of their energy in education, reading in
particular, so why don’t you start reading at least one book a month?
Reading has far more benefits than one
could imagine, reading can make a total looser become the smartest person in
the town, reading has the power to make the child of a farm worker a owner of
dozen farms and turn a nyaope boy to a highest earning drug activist. Reading
makes one more innovative, and when you read about things you did not know you
get more motivated to go out there and see the world and be the best you can
ever be. It also makes an individual able to express himself/herself better and
opens a huge room for creative imagination. Reading breathes in a new fresh
start and day in an individuals mind and soul, it takes one from A to infinity.
Educate yourself, you don’t neccesarily have to be in a school, you can go
around sharing knowledge with strangers or joining social reading clubs.
Education is free, reading is free, all you
have to do is be willing to change your life, be willing to invest your time
in something that will greatly benefit you in the future. As I have mentioned
above, you can join your nearest social book club, or go to the library and
grab a book, after a while get someone whom you can share what you have read
with. You will surely find people who are interesting in reading and
sharing knowledge with at the library, you just have to give your self time
looking for them. The easy way to spot someone you can share with is by checking
on the person who mostly take books at the same library shelf as you, chances
are, you guys like the same topic so sharing will be much easier.
So you are probably wondering how you can
start reading, well it is much simple. Here is how:
1: You need to create time for reading and
make it a point that you wont change the time any time soon
2: Then start by reading at least 6 pages
per the time you have set for reading, don’t over exeed 7 when you are starting
because chances of you getting tired after that are high and that can make you
think reading is boring.
3: Avoid distractions from social networks,
friends and family members.
4: Always try sharing what you have read
with a interested friend or social book club members
6: Keep up that way and in no time reading
will be your new tradition!
Good luck with your life changing move!
