Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #3: Learn to be Self-Reliant and to Prioritize What is Most Important
   School, work, government, and other systems have their own agendas, and their own flaws. They will be happy to tell you where to go and what to learn, but at some point you have to decide for yourself what is truly important to know.
   
   School focuses on learning math, science, and history, among other topics, but what about learning why those topics are important? They often don’t focus on the why, as much as they ask you to simply memorize facts. Survival skills are rarely taught in school, but this is another example of something that could be quite useful to learn. The point here is you need to decide for yourself what is important. Ask what you would teach if you were in charge of the school system. There is no excuse to be passive and let your education slip past you. Take those important topics and learn them for yourself.
   
   Be aware that often times in modern society, trivial things are talked about on and on as if they are important, and truly important things like world issues are rarely discussed in any deep way. Intelligent people tend to strive to find something meaningful and important to them, and they will focus on this instead of trivial issues.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #2: Learn From Multiple Formats or Methods
   It is true that people learn in different ways. Some learn better through reading, others through listening, seeing or doing. When learning something new, it is a good idea to start with one method of learning, perhaps your favorite first. When you come across a barrier where you don’t understand, try another way. Keep doing this until you make progress and finally understand. Even just with the Internet you can use books, Wikipedia, YouTube, and free Open Courseware. You will learn more quickly and holistically through multiple sources. Understand that the real world will not allow you to choose how to learn from it. At work you may be asked to attend conferences or to read some material. Either way, you will be expected to learn even if it isn’t your preferred way.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #1: Don’t make assumptions
   To see things as they are, avoid assuming that you know what someone is thinking, or that you know their motivations. You may have clues or ideas, but you should avoid making assumptions until you have enough information to be sure you know what is really happening. Assumptions will make you feel like a fool when you are wrong. They will also be a waste of precious brain power, as you will often analyze something that is based on a faulty assumption. If you do that, you will waste more time and resources. Focus your attention elsewhere and you will be more productive. If something is important, be direct and find out what you need to know, rather than assuming.
