The Need to Learn

I meet so many people that are obsessed about learning, that are perpetually taking one course after another. Learning is good, but more important than the ebullient need to consume knowledge should be the need to apply the knowledge learned in daily life. This is where most people fall short. Learning gives us a high, a sense of knowing, an expansion of the mind. But, as my guru taught me, unless that knowledge is applied in a timely way in daily life, that knowledge does not become wisdom.

Place more effort on applying what you’ve learned in your life than learning more things. You’ll make greater progress in your personal development.
