How do they do it

John is a young guy who is interested in boxing, usually when he runs into a fight in the street he knocks down his opponent, because unlike any other boxer, john knows the fatal pressure points in the opponent's body.

Mark is a professional stock investor, he rarely buys a stock or a security without becoming a winner. Mark make a lot of money from other investors who don’t know the right time to buy or to sell. Mark knows the right timing to buy and the right time to sell.

Jack is a popular person who has lots of friends. he is popular in the small city he lives in. Jack knows a lot about communication skills, influencing abilities and leadership.

Tom is a successful politician. He rarely loses ground in a negotiation. Tom knows a lot about personality types, negotiation skills, anger management and emotional intelligence.

So john can knock you down
Mark can take your money in the stock market
Jack can take the lights away from you
Tom can fool your government

Knowledge is power

but why can they do so? because of a one thing that is common between them: They know that success in this era we live is based on knowledge.

whether it’s read or acquired by experience, knowledge is what can make someone rich and what can make someone poor. Its what can make someone strong and what can make someone weak. Its what can make someone in control and its what can make someone helpless. It's what can make someone rule and what can make someone else ruled.

And after all that you find some people proudly saying “I don’t read” or “I hate reading”. They may think that people who read are geeks or they may be afraid to read not to be called geeks.

Whatever the reason they have they just never bother to learn and then one day they may get knocked down by john or lose their money because of mark then blame their luck for it.

Did that help?

People will think that i am a geek

I dont have any time to read?

Is personal development useful?

Why read while I can learn everything by experience
