DAVE AGUILA’S POINT OF VIEWS

About Business, Investing and Everything in Between

Read, read, and read! And then what?!?

Posted by daveaguila on April 2, 2007

When I was in highschool, reading was never my hobby… Not until the latter part of my life. But I don’t normally read to be entertained. I read to gain knowledge.

I have read countless materials about business, investing, self-help, motivation, inspirational, etc. I’ve read the books of Kiyosaki, King, Covey, Gamboa, Khoo, Trump, among others.

I have seen people who are fond of reading the same books I have read, but the question is what happens after reading it? What do they do after reading? Majority of them just talk, talk, talk… I have seen in forums how knowledgable people are about a certain subject. But if you try to see if they are a practitioner of their preachings, sadly they are not. A person could have ALL the knowledge in the world but it will still be worthless. How? IF IT IS NOT PRACTICED.

So basically, it doesn’t matter how many books you’ve read. What matter is how many times you practiced the knowledge you gained in the book.

So, after you read, read, read… You have to plan, plan, plan… And then you practice, practice, practice!! This applies especially in books about business and investing. Of course, you wouldn’t practice the spells written in the book ‘Harry Potter’. Please, don’t use the “Expeliarmus” spell on me guys!!! :)
