INFORMATION IS YOUR MOST VIABLE COMMODITY

In a data drive world, you don't want to be caught off guard, or lagging behind on the most powerful currency that you need to get ahead. Gold, oil, diamonds, or even money cannot buy you what you will be able to get or achieve with the right information. You can have all the knowledge in the world, you can draw up a very good strategy towards achieving something, or have so much insight that you are able to influence a crowd, but a man who recognises the value of information, and leverages it properly will always stay ahead of the game.

You have heard people say, "knowledge is power", it is not enough to know but to apply. Nevertheless, in this age and time, "information is a superpower." Every great decision, every breakthrough, and every competitive edge begins with the right information. It shapes lives, it transforms a nobody into somebody, and creates something out of nothing.

The difference between success and stagnation often comes down to the kind and quality of information that is available to you, and how well you are able to make use of it. Information determines opportunity; it determines what you learn, the skills you acquire, and how you are able to adapt to changes in an ever evolving world.

You need the right information to thrive, you have to seek quality over quantity. Be certain to be on accurate, relevant, and actionable information. Always ask the right questions, that is how you get quality information. You are rewarded not for the information you have, but for the information you use. Invest in your ability to gather the right information, analyse them properly, and make use of them positively. What you know and use, is your superpower.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
