The Power Of Information And How To Stay Informed

There is power in information and that's why someone said that when you are informed you can never be deformed. Having information is one thing and it's another thing to be able to share the information you have. Of course, informations are meant to be shared but then it should be shared only when it's necessary because you don't want that information to getting to the wrong hands.

The fact that information is power is something that no one should take for granted, in fact the easiest way to succeed in today's world is by acquiring more information and selling it. Gone are the days when people don't care of knowing more about things, now everyone are looking for a way to stay uptodate with recent happenings around them and some are willing to pay just anything to get genuine information because they know the fortune that can bring to them.

Not being informed about a thing or two can be a really huge setback for anyone in that position. Being ignorant of what's going on around you is equivalent to you being blind and that is why no matter how little an information is, always try to stay informed. There are so many ways to stay informed and run away from ignorance and I'd be mentioning a few with us.

Reading varieties of Books

Definitely, for you to be informed, you have to be able to read and write. I know there are some people that don't know how to read and write but are informed but then, being able to read and write will give you an edge in some special cases. Reading books and articles on daily basis can really help anyone stay informed. I'm not recommending any book for anyone because I think that depends on how much information you want to have. All you have to know is that, the more you read the more you gain more information.

News and movies

Paying close attention to news channels on TV and also watching some documentary movies can help you stay informed. There are so many things I've learnt just by watching movies and seeing news on TV. Most times we take movies as fake but then that is not always true, there are some things we can learn while watching them. I remember recently I saw a news on TV and I got to find out that there is actually a bank of industry in Nigeria and that Bank has helped so many industries become well established. Of course there are others that you know even better than I do.

Engagement/interaction

Having a good interaction with people is a really good way to stay informed and updated. Mind you, try not to force a conversation with anyone, always try as much as possible to be genuine and natural. I love it when I get genuine engagement on my contents and I do know others will love it too if I'm also myself when engaging with them. When you have a good relationship with people, they are never bothered when they share some information with you and those information might actually change your life for good.

Listening to Music

I know you might be a little interested to know how music can help someone stay informed. Well, to so many people, music is life and they tend to express themselves through that means. So many song writers write their songs based on the things they've seen and also based on the things they've been through. The lyrics of most music can be a source of information to those that listen to them. I've listened to a lot of songs that say so much about the life of the song writer and even about life in general.

Be a researcher

And finally, the last way to stay informed is by going out there to seek for answers to your questions. Now the internet has made it so easy for anyone to get as much information as they'd want but then it's sad that we still don't make use of it as much as we should. In making research, you will definitely have to ask questions and these questions are what will help you get the information you need.

There are many other ways to stay informed and I'd really appreciate your contribution so we all can learn from each other.

Until next time, stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!!
