Thought of the Day

It used to be knowledge is power to the extent of how much you could stuff information in your head.

Now it seems that it is more useful to:

  • Know how to and where to find information.
  • Know how to synthesize/combine information.
  • Learn when or how much information is enough.
  • Understand what information is relevant.
  • Learn to make decisions in light of (1) overwhelming information, or (2) too little information (There never seems to be just enough information anyway)
  • Learn how to turnaround information in a prompt and useful fashion.
