Reading all the motivational or self-developmental books in the world would make no difference if you do not practice what you have learned from those books.

Books remain the best way to hide information. Why? The reason is that most people find it hard to read. Reading has become difficult in today's world; where everyone is in a rush. That is why people will rather watch a video tutorial than read a book. I am not criticizing people who watch videos, I am a big fan of watching videos.

Reading culture is sinking in today's world as nobody wants to read again (perhaps not people on blogging platforms lol).

Sometimes people ask me,

"Hey Tomi how do you know this."

I simply answer, "by reading."

Don't make empty claims

Many people are ignorant of what happened in the past because they think it is not necessary to learn about it. People like that would come on Twitter and start sprouting nonsense and talking blindly. And what amazes me is how they defend their garbage with fake news or facts.

One thing I have noticed in this world is that people who know the right thing are always unsure of themselves or the solutions they have. On the other hand, you will notice fools arguing and defending what they no little or nothing about.

I saw a post on Facebook that talked about how everyone behaves like an expert until their expertise is required.

I have seen who go out making claims of being able to do a lot of things, but when called to do so they can't do anything. These people make me laugh. This is to tell you that not all critics are serious. A serious critic would show you how to do something better and not condemn your work.

Sometimes you tell people about the situation you find yourself and they would say,

"if it was me I would do this and that."

Know that most times that is not necessarily the case, some of them when they get into your shoes they will turn out more confused than you were.

Don't hide your ignorance

Many times people like hiding their ignorance by pretending to know something. When I don't know something, I always tell people "I don't know this or that", and I don't try to cover up.

There is nothing as bad or worse than people who don't know something pretending they know it. It is shameful and disgusting.

Don't laugh

Don't laugh at other people's ignorance. Remember, there was a time you were ignorant like them.

You can't know everything, a doctor might be ignorant when it comes to dealing with electronics, but that doesn't make him or her a fool. The only time someone becomes one is when you boast you can do something and you ended up not being able to do it.

Don't be afraid to seek help. When you don't know something; speak up. Nobody is an island of knowledge. There is nothing shameful about not comprehending something, but it is shameful to boast you understand something while you know nothing.

Learn from anybody

In life, you can learn from anybody, no matter their age or position. You can learn from someone young enough to be your child. It doesn't mean anything bad, as you are only tapping from the person's pool of knowledge. Respect people who know more than you do. Respect is important.

Correct with love and respect

The last thing is for you to correct people in love and humility. When you show people their mistakes, don't make it look like they are dummies or with low IQs. Remember your strength is someone's weakness, and your weakness is someone's strength
