No one can be expert on many things. Human can exist and reign the world because they have the ability to learn and share knowledge and work together in such a complex way. If one of the insect can do the same, I am sure human existence will be under the mercy of cockroaches.
As social creature, we constantly learn from someone else consciously or not, but consciously picking someone else brain will giving us a specific piece of knowledge to solve our unique problem.
We join a forum, discussion groups, become a fan of Facebook page, following certain hash key in twitter simply because we want to pick someone else brain. It is completely OK if we just observe while learning, but the more active we are to more we gain as a groups.
Can you imagine if all member of forum discussion is just observing and not sharing, the forum will have no value to the group member. Hence if you are part of the group, might as well be active, do not afraid commenting or asking questions, is part of the learning.
To effectively pick someone else brain, we also need to give something in return, be active, be proactive, share ideas, share provoking thoughts, share your problems to your crowd and I am sure you will gain more knowledge than just observing.
Have a very good weekend everyone…
And Happy Birthday to Marketing Club. They have a seminar today, a very good chance to pick (a lot of ) brains. Do not missed it and do not forget, there are two things that you can get simply by asking
wondered why you may be not getting a job that you wanted? Check your crowd. Are they coming from the Industry that you are dying to work into? or mostly coming from the “stink” job that you are currently doing.
I am not suggesting to abandon the current friends, but we need to mingle with other type of crowd who relevant with the Industry / area that we want to work… more often…
When you want to be entrepreneur, have some more friends who also entrepreneur, and so if you want to work on the NGO, find some friends who work on the same field. etc etc…
Our friends give us support and we can learn from them, but if we have wrong crowd… we may be getting the wrong encouragement we need.
