Recently i have noticed that there has been an overwhelming amount of information for whatever field you are interested in. I once read an article couldn't remember exactly which one it was but the article was talking about the overload of information! How back in the day, information was privileged to only the "elite" and years years later it became available to everyone!
It had me but wonder if really this was a ploy by the "elite" to confuse our intelligence by bombarding us with tons and tons of information! Look at the stock market for example! Some had said before that it failed because people didn't have enough information back in the day yet when it failed this time round, same said that it was due to "too much" information!
All i can say is that your intuition is very much determined by past experiences! Despite the availability of information, one's bias will not hinder him from doing what he or she wants to do! This then brings me to the point of today's discussion.Information should only be used for making decisions!Which means that as you collect it, ask yourself two things;-
1.How pertinent is this information to my quest?
2.What is "noise" and what is data that is crucial to my/your quest!
Stay tuned as i will follow up on this discussion........tomorrow!
Until then "Inshallah" i will see you tomorrow!
