Chapter 15 The Greatest Discovery 3
Constantly enrich your knowledge

Many people, through continuous accumulation of knowledge and self-cultivation, make their words and deeds show extraordinary upbringing and make their own qualities stand out.while others stain their good qualities with their roughness and slovenliness.

Napoleon Hill said: "Some people die from overeating, some people die from drinking too much, and some people die from doing nothing." People will do nothing, obviously because they don't know how to make progress.A truly positive person is afraid that his wisdom will be buried. In order to make himself perfect, he will continue to enrich himself with cultural knowledge.

The reason why people want to continuously enrich their knowledge is determined by the times.In the past ten years, human knowledge has been increasing at a rate of doubling every three years. The total amount of knowledge is growing rapidly at an explosive rate, and knowledge is updated as frequently as products.However, people's immediate knowledge is limited, and they will soon lag behind the development of society based on what they have learned from school.

"Flowing water does not rot, and the door hinge does not moth." The growth of human intelligence is also in this state.Only by constantly learning new things can we keep up with the pace of the times and innovate repeatedly.

Eitaro Itoyama, a prominent figure in Japan's political and business circles, has billions of dollars in assets at the age of 30, and became the youngest senator in Japanese history at the age of 32. According to the 2004 "Forbes" magazine's list of the world's richest people, Eitaro Itoyama's personal net worth is 49 billion US dollars, ranking 86th.What is his secret to making money? Eitaro Itoyama replied: "Continuous learning is the magic weapon for success."

Eitaro Itoyama has always believed in the belief of "continuously learning new things", and always desperately seeks answers to things he doesn't understand.By selling foreign cars, he learned sales skills; by studying financial knowledge, he knew how to use banks and the stock market to make a lot of money flow into his own pocket...Even as he got older, Itoyama Eitaro was still unwilling to be eliminated by the times.He started learning about computers and soon founded his own internet company.Even in his old age, Eitaro Itoyama still has the courage to challenge new things and is eager to understand unknown areas.

It is by constantly learning new things that Eitaro Itoyama keeps himself at the forefront of the times.By learning to exceed previous performance, people are given the opportunity to continue to develop.No one can proudly say that he always has the capital of pride, because no one can say that he has been thoroughly proficient and researched even if he has profound attainments in a certain field.Not only that, but only proficient in one knowledge often makes people's character and behavior biased.We must be well-informed and constantly enrich our knowledge in all aspects so that we can better adapt to the modern pluralistic society.

For example, Pete James, he is a popular anchor of ABC evening news in the United States.Before that, he resolutely resigned from the position of anchor that everyone envied, and went to the front line of news to hone himself.He worked as an ordinary reporter, served as a special correspondent for the American TV network in the Middle East, and later became a special correspondent for Europe.After these experiences, he returned to ABC television.At this time, he has grown from a fledgling young man who is a little bit jerky to a mature, stable and popular anchor and reporter.

The most admirable thing about Pete James is that when he was already an outstanding person in the industry, he was not complacent, but chose to continue learning to make his career reach new heights.

No matter what stage of life they are in, successful people regard continuous learning as an important habit of their own.They know that their knowledge is valuable to society, and it can also bring a better life for themselves.
