To become wise, study intelligently.

Practically all of humanity's accumulated knowledge and wisdom is accessible within minutes on today's Internet. But to benefit from this opportunity, you must know how to study intelligently, and you must hunger for knowledge and wisdom or for your consequent empowerment. The key to studying intelligently and to becoming wise is to do these things in equal proportion:

  1. Read.
  2. Reflect.
  3. Discuss.
  4. Apply.
Do not do any of these things just for entertainment. If you do not expect to be able to apply what you are learning, you are wasting your time.
