Impacts of Knowledge

by Dre
written by Dre

There is a famous proverb that goes ” knowledge is power” and there is no doubt that in the past million years, humanity has made millions of significant progresses. This progress ranges from cave-dwelling Neanderthals to being jet setting futurists. Today, being on a planet of approximately 9 billion people, aren’t we a thousand times better than we were millenniums ago? We have all the necessities including shelter, electricity, and food, whose quality improves every day. But the one essential element that separates us from our predecessors which helps us create a better society and develops a sense of freedom is education and knowledge.

Knowledge is defined (as per google) as facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education, the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It is a continuous learning process and information can be acquired anywhere at any time regardless of age. Acquiring knowledge is a fundamental right of every person. It not only promotes empowerment but also ensures that you grow and develop. Knowledge can uplift you and society and elevate all the social and economic conditions of the society as well.

In this article, we will provide all the necessary ways in which knowledge has a great impact on your life. Without knowledge, life is dull and empty. Education and knowledge make us a better citizen and gives us a sense of conscience and confidence.

Knowledge spreads awareness:

Let briefly talk about false knowledge. False Knowledge destroys, from the inside it infects. False knowledge is the virus that can spread fast and do more damage to a society than good. Education and knowledge help shed light on everything by first creating the curiosity for knowledge and then satisfying that curiosity with understanding. It gives you the power of analytical thinking and helps identify problems and solutions. Solutions to problems are where the opportunities lie but that is another gem for another day.

Moving on, sometimes knowledge asks for scientific reasoning and logic but knowledge can also come from experience, observation, and creativity.

Knowledge promotes progress:

Better knowledge and understanding opens a lot of opportunities for an individual. Especially in a world where success is not bound by geography but has limitless possibilities depending upon your use of education, experience, information and technology. The more knowledge and skill you acquire and the more you apply that knowledge and skill the greater your chances of achieving your desired level of success.

Knowledge can promote longevity in health:

Better educated people tend to live long as they know how to stay away from harmful things. This knowledge will help you stay away from all the things which will affect your health. According to the research that was conducted in the central European countries, it was proven that a 30-year-old educated man can live almost 8 to 10 years longer and 10 times healthier life than a 30-year-old man who has not completed secondary education. In the case of women, educated women can live 4 to 5 years longer than uneducated women.

Knowledge and productivity:

There is a direct and deep connection between knowledge and productivity. The more knowledge you have, the better your output is period. If you know more you can do more, knowledge removes limitations and creates opportunities. It goes without saying…but I am going to say it…If you want more opportunity acquire more knowledge and skills and remain diligent in their application in your life. It will help you to improve more and more until you get to excellence. If you apply what you learn on a consistency in an effort to become a better version of yourself, by your definition, then you will flourish.

Let’s Sum it all up!!

Keeping in mind all the benefits of knowledge and how it can affect your life, one must always have a thirst to acquire more and more knowledge. The more knowledge you acquire; the better life you will live.

Ask if you want to know something else. 4Syte is always available to help!

Broaden Your Knowledge to Create Opportunity

by Dre
written by Dre

We all have seen that more knowledge and more education will help you broaden your thinking and perspective. Using your knowledge and education to solve things will help you with your emotions and it will keep you relaxed. It is not enough to have knowledge but you also have to apply this knowledge in your daily life to make this world a better place for you. It is said that a little knowledge that is applied is worth infinitely more than idle knowledge.

Have you ever listened to advice and applied it? It is a huge difference to just listen to advice compared to applying the knowledge you just acquired or listened to. This is the reason that most studies have a practical portion included with the lesson. Without the practical application of anything, it is useless.

If you are finding ways to apply the knowledge that will broaden your perspective and create opportunities for you, don’t worry!! You have arrived at the right place!

In this article, we will provide you with all the necessary guidelines which will help you apply your knowledge and to overcome the internal resistance for lasting positive change.

So let’s get started!!

Recognize the payoff:

We do the things in a way they always have been done before because they are the same type of payoff. We avoid something painful and we are attracted to things that benefit us and render pleasure. This may be obvious in many cases but sometimes we have got to dig very deep through the surface to understand what we are doing and why we are keeping ourselves stuck in the same place. Whenever we understand the payoff that we are seeking, and what are we trying to avoid, is the time when we will be better able to do the work and apply our knowledge to make it better. This will broaden your perspective in doing that very thing

Practice reduces Pressure:

Changing our behavior requires consistency. The more we do something, the more consistent and instinctive it becomes. And alternatively, through that consistency the more we will see improvement in the things we do. We become more efficient by continuing to do something as much as possible rather than doing it perfectly. The more we do, the better you will become. According to the study of two groups of students, which the 1st group of students had to make a perfect vase, and the other group was assigned to make as many vases as possible. The study concluded that the group which has made as many vases as possible produced superior results. The reason behind this was that they weren’t worried about perfection, rather they felt free to try new ways and employ creativity while having fun. They were not experiencing any type of pressure but the group who was assigned to make a perfect vase failed to do as well because of the pressure and lack of practice.

Apply your knowledge and practice as much as possible keeping pressure in your mind to a minimum.

Change your inner monologue:

This is special to me because we have internal conversations with our self all day every day. We all keep on telling ourselves the stories about the things which we can’t achieve and the things we can achieve. This may sometimes be paralyzing. Applying knowledge to recognize your limiting thoughts and believes will help replace them with empowering ones. For example, if you start thinking that you can’t go out and meet new people. Your limiting belief will paralyze you and fear sets in and before you know it this belief become your reality. But if you replaced the this thought with one that empowers you to improve you will certainly yield a different result. You simply have to replace the thought that you can meet new friends at any time. It may seem like lying to yourself but believe me it will help you a lot. So if you tell yourself positive or empowering affirmations with some evidence to back it up this can lead to life changing results. This is where knowledge will help you by providing that very evidence giving life and reality to your new belief system.

 

Lets wrap it all up!!

Applying knowledge is a part of learning and continuous growth, and knowledge alone will never help you unless you apply it in your daily life. So, try to apply your knowledge as often as possible and broaden your perspective to open more opportunities for you.

How to Redefine Success and Achieve Your Dreams

by Dre
written by Dre

In the 21st century, accomplishments create the individual. The digital age, where almost everyone has adopted social media, has created a platform to compare and contrast our achievements. Whether that means demonstrating affluence or exhibiting a physical transformation, it’s a competitive world around us. It’s easy to feel like we don’t measure up – like our own accomplishments can get lost in the shadow cast by others. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we define our own success.

The most important lesson in life is to not give up on your goals and dreams and trying to achieve what you deserve till the last dying breath of your life.

Does success mean stardom and Fame?

When you see successful people all around you don’t be fooled by the fact that they have achieved it nicely decorated on a plate. There is something behind the success that you don’t see or you don’t know about.

The problem with most ordinary people is that they don’t have the dedication or the perseverance to keep going on their dreams despite all the darkness and gloom outside.

What keeps successful people constantly moving forward and motivated?. Can we define success as materialistic pleasures? How do we define something with a relative point of view? Is it the peace of mind that you get from realizing your dreams or sense of accomplishment from the hard journey that no one thought was going to be true?

The real art of success can be stated with this one-liner-

*You cannot measure success by how you perform in the best of conditions – it’s how you triumph over obstacles that matters the most.*

What matters most is where you can find the answers to the questions above. You define what matters the most for you and your situation, and its ok to be wrong. Its ok to think that you want a certain type of success but later in your journey you realize something else matters. Your definition of success does not need to be static it can be forever changing and should evolve as you evolve.

When we compare our success against others, we often forget that everyone faces their own hurdles. What comes easy to one person might be challenging to the next. Readjusting our perspective is a good step to redefining our success.

 

Money does not quantify success

An obsession with materialistic possessions has been the downfall of many. For some, financial success is their greatest motivator. It can come at the sacrifice of personal relationships, physical health, and time spent. And in the end, the possessions only last momentarily and the joys of riches are fleeting.

Truly extraordinary people throughout history understood that their achievements were not measured by the amount in their bank account. Money is only a potential byproduct of success and problem solving. It does not guarantee long term fulfillment. It’s hard work and perseverance that makes an accomplishment successful. You cannot find validation in material possessions long term.

Take this as a challenge in your life and find out what you want to achieve. But do remember that when you have a dream you got to keep going.

There will be many obstacles to face when you’re working towards your goals. You will find lots of naysayers around you, some in your own circle of friends and family. It might not always be malicious, but it can be discouraging. You could feel your energy and ambition dwindling the longer you’re pushing forward. Do not compare the amount of time it takes you to others – that  is also not a way to measure success. Timelines differ. It will mean more that you maintained motivation when things got tough and when others didn’t believe in you.

Defining success in one’s terms

We must leave each person to define success for themselves. Like beauty it lies in the eye of the beholder. We cannot quantify it with money, titles, or connection. Only after you define your own vision of success can you begin your journey to achieving it. If you chase the expectations of others you will only be disappointed. Take advice from those around you, absorb the information successful people have to offer, but ultimately discover for yourself what it means to live your dreams.

Instead of trying to be like the person you adore the most, try and find out your inner passion. Find out what ignites your inner soul and desire to become better.

Find out what you are good at doing and embrace any challenge that exists in your society or your community and work towards overcoming that difficulty or hardship through problem solving and exercising your creativity.

Let go of your expectations on this journey to avoid limiting yourself. And make decisions with sincerity, without seeking out external rewards. You can only find an authentic definition of success when you let go of chasing material possessions and validation. The most truly successful people in the world lead their lives with passion.

With passion you do things because you love to do it, you find it exciting and fulfilling, and every moment can feel timeless instead of a daunting task.

4Syte’s Basic ground rules for success

You define your own achievements and measure success in your own terms. Every individual’s path is different – what you hope to achieve, the obstacles in your way, and how you move forward is unique. The things mentioned above are some simple principles that you need to keep in mind while defining what success is for you.

With our coaching services the first thing you will be asked is “What is your definition of success”? Followed by “What have you done in the past 30 days to take one or many steps closer to your goals”.

 

Don’t give up…ever…

Here is some delicious food for thought… Is your success measured in the freedom to pursue your interests? Well?

If you stay focused on what you truly want in life doors of opportunity will fling open and what you desire shall be what you deserve. When you start your journey don’t look back and don’t slow down, prepare yourself for the journey and brace yourself for a bumpy but worthwhile ride.

Let go of the preconceived notions of success and ask yourself when will you be satisfied. What will make you feel fulfilled? And what are you willing to sacrifice? It’s a lot of work, is your time and energy going to be worth it? Practice looking inward for these answers.

 

Reverse engineer your way to success

When you’re working towards your dreams, always keep the big picture in mind but plot smaller goals and deadlines that will get you there. Work towards your end goal every day.

Remember that you need to go through a heart wrenching, gut crushing repetitive process time and time again each day to earn real success at the end. No one said success is easy, its repeatable, and can duplicated…but if its worth fighting for… shouldn’t you fight to the death?

Changing Your Perspective for Success

by Dre
written by Dre

 

Sometimes we feel plagued by the sensation of being “stuck” in our lives. We describe ourselves as being “in a rut” as every day feels monotonous. Yet we’re ultimately in control of our own lives and when we begin to take back ownership, our environment can transform. As you cannot achieve a different output without first changing the input. That means altering our perspective.

Our perspective is the way we perceive things around us. By reevaluating our interpretation of our surroundings we can start to focus on what matters. Everyday your mind automatically filters all of the information you take in, to tell you what is the most important. If you’re focused on only taking in the negativity around you, you might be closing yourself off to opportunities. A new perspective could be the key to your success.

If you want to achieve something, you must adopt the mindset that makes that possible. Your ability to change your perspective is a good indicator of your potential to be successful. It can keep you on track by allowing you to see the big picture and not get weighed down by small details. It can keep you motivated as you push past small failures along the way and it can make you much more receptive as you seize opportunities to learn and grow in any situation. By putting yourself in control of your life, you have the ability to take advantage of what comes your way. So how can we begin changing our perspective today?

Manage your expectations

Remember that you’re only in charge of yourself, you can’t control what others do or what life throws at you. But if you feel disappointed, you can take action. Managing your expectations means setting yourself up for the greatest potential outcome by recognizing strengths and weaknesses. If you constantly have high expectations for someone that has shown themselves to be unreliable over and over again, you are wasting time and energy. Always clearly communicate what you need and avoid making assumptions.

 

Practice gratitude to attract more positivity and combat negativity

If your default is to feel negatively about a situation, you have to retrain yourself by practicing positive thoughts. Express things you feel positively about everyday, tell the people around you that you appreciate them and why. Remind yourself of your strengths and admire what’s great in your life. When we feel grateful we shift the focus on to the things that give us joy, not what creates anxiety that can make us feel powerless. I think this is an important point of view because too often do we give our self the worst beatdown ever and focus on all things the have negatively impacted our life. But when we learn to appreciate what we have and what we are capable of and compare it with what we have created or more importantly what we can create…real magic can happen with this transformation. Everyday is a new day and holding on to negativity from a previous day or week or month is sure to prevent you from spotting and taking advantage of the many opportunities that exist today and in the future.

 

Step outside of yourself to see the big picture and practice seeing other’s perspectives

A successful person recognizes that failures and challenges don’t mean you’re doing something wrong and aren’t a sign to quit. That’s because they position themselves outside of a problem to see the big picture and can see when they are still on the right path. Part of that also means acknowledging how other people feel or see the situation around you. Empathy will lead to a better understanding of our environment that can help us maneuver through obstacles.

 

Avoid a victim mentality and relying on other people’s affirmation

If you’ve adopted a victim mentality you might feel powerless, like your problems are too great and that life always works outside of your favor. Put yourself back in charge by recognizing the things in life you can change. Take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions and avoid relying on others to give you that power by constantly seeking validation.

Changing your perspective in life takes practice and determination. However ultimately you can re-energize the way you feel about your surroundings and how you move through the world.

Remember it all starts with you. Decide to improve then decide to action.

Dreams Can Become A Reality

by Dre
written by Dre

Every innovation begins with an idea. When you consider the objects around you, from the appliances in your home to the buildings on your block, you realize the world has been shaped by the dreams of others. By individuals that had not only the ambition to explore an idea, but the devotion to turn it into a reality. This is where many fail – you cannot want something badly enough that it appears, you must take action. Fortunately, entrepreneurs around the world agree that turning an idea into a reality is a learnable skill. Keep these strategies in mind when you embark on reaching your goals.

Be clear and mindful of your objectives

Consider your end goal and verbalize it. Find a way to articulate what you want in a concise and specific way – try to condense it into only a sentence or two. Then, keeping the big picture in mind, plot realistic smaller goals that will lead you there. Visualize that main objective constantly, keep it in your mind to motivate you. However every morning, have an actual plan for the day and constantly be crossing things off your to-do list that move you forward. The simplicity of smaller goals will make the larger task much more manageable.

Always use your time wisely

It probably feels like there are never enough hours in the day. Time management can be your best friend or your worst enemy. As it’s not enough to work hard, you have to work smart. If you stay organized and prioritize your goals, you will use your time much more effectively. Give each task a time limit to help you stay on track, and always schedule breaks to keep your mind refreshed and focused.

Don’t be afraid of failure

It is absolutely inevitable that you will make mistakes on this journey. There are sure to be achievements and failures along the way – embrace them both. An achievement is a job well done and a failure is an experience that will push you in the right direction. It’s an opportunity to learn, not a dead end. Avoid creating a vision of your future that doesn’t have wiggle room for the ups and downs of life. You can feel trapped by rigid expectations that only lead to disappointment. Track the things you have learned and the steps you have made so you never lose sight of your progress.

See past the biggest hurdle and learn to leverage your creativity

When you’re working towards your goal, it’s in your best interest to nurture your creative side. Inventiveness will be one of your biggest resources when you’re pushing through obstacles. Often people feel trapped by money, they don’t see a future with financial freedom and think they cannot move towards their goal. Keeping finances in mind when you’re creating realistic steps, but also think outside of the box and utilize the assets you do have, like the community around you. Don’t give up easily. Remember, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Don’t wait any longer

Keyword is YOU

There will never be the perfect time in life to start such a big endeavor. But there are steps you can take to begin moving forward starting today. The longer you wait, the further you will drift away from your end goal. And once you begin, you will feel the momentum build. So let go of excuses, put your dreams in focus, and take action.

The cliché rings true – you only have one life to live. Whatever you want to do, Wherever you want to go, you cannot wait forever.
