Benjamin Disraeli, the famous
British Statesman observed that the most successful
man in life is the man who has the best information.
Before advent of internet, books are
only the source of information. Ever since the dot com world stormed our lives,
it dramatically changed the way we seek information. Now getting information
relevant to our needs is a mouse click away and everybody is banking on
internet like never before.
In fact internet contributed to the free flow of information and no earlier
generation is so blessed like ours. But the secret lies in choosing the right
kind of information. Suppose if we dive deep into the information ocean
aimlessly, we may hit the rock. So we
have to quantify our information needs
for our daily needs of life.
According to Parkinson's Law, you have to fix time-frame for every activity. If
you don't fix target slot to be devoted, your work expands to
spill over all the time forcing you restricted to accomplish other important jobs. Thus the German
philosopher Goethe’s advice comes to our aid: "Things which matter most
must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.
