Why did the busiest person in the world, former president Barack Obama, read an hour a day while in office?
Why has the best investor in history, Warren Buffett, invested 80% of his time in reading and thinking throughout his career?
Why
has the world’s richest person, Bill Gates, read a book a week during
his career? And why has he taken a yearly two-week reading vacation
throughout his entire career?
Why do the world’s smartest and busiest people find one hour a day for deliberate learning (the 5-hour rule), while others make excuses about how busy they are?
What do they see that others don’t?
The
answer is simple: Learning is the single best investment of our time
that we can make. Or as Benjamin Franklin said,
“An investment in
knowledge pays the best interest.”
This
insight is fundamental to succeeding in our knowledge economy, yet few
people realize it. Luckily, once you do understand the value of
knowledge, it’s simple to get more of it. Just dedicate yourself to constant learning.
