I read the news every morning, evening on my NDTV app.. I listen to it on the BBC while driving my car. I try to keep a track of the latest tech innovations. I read gossips, fitness tips, health tips, philosophy, senseless rants etc. Its not just me, its the same with people all over the world.
While I feel some of it is necessary to live in the present, the rest just dictates information that distorts your simple thinking. People go on and on about stuff they hear or read, that have no relevance to their lives or to others they are conversing with. Its just waste of time, and information!! Yes you can probably entertain some, but don't people realize that it could be boring to others ears?? Similar to FREEDOM OF SPEECH.. there is also an untold FREEDOM TO LISTEN!!
I have the utmost respect for Sales people. They have to get the customer to like what they have to sell, while at the same time, talking stuff relevant to the customers ears even if that means they have to smile and force themselves through the whole experience. In a way this is what we do, but a good sell can also be keeping quiet whenever required.
Some of these sayings that I have learnt to appreciate over time...
IGNORANCE IS BLISS!!
TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING!!
Why do people complicate simple things?? A glass of water is still a glass of water!!
To conclude, I just came across a quote by Stephen Hawking that combine both the above sayings and keep the essence of what I've been trying to put across... "The Greatest enemy of Knowledge is not Ignorance, it is the ILLUSION of Knowledge!!"
