In one of the recent interviews, a Doctor mentioned he won’t let his chIldren sulk in social media but rather would be comfortable of them having Johnie Walker or doing drugs here and then. Is social media really becoming that evil? Sure it makes you addictive. With all new algorithms, the social media companies are playing dirty tricks to your mind without you even realizing how much time you are spending on them and going for aimless wandering targets. Am not trying to be anti social here but if you want to be great at ‘deep work’, such as learning, aiming for promotion, running a business, transitioning to next phase of your career or life, you may need to give up social media. There’s power in actively selecting the trade-offs you want to make.

Of everything a person must maintain, his mind is most important, and king of all is his connection to reality. Educate yourself, and don’t rely on others to teach you. This is easier said than done. How to be a voracious learner?

Voracious leaders do devour to read multiple books, they pepper conversations with tidbits from completed courses, they take out-of-the-box approach to opportunities and risks.

With the world moving at a pace, speed of learning is important, there is a need for value and if you’re not learning you miss it.
