The internet was invented in 1983.
There was a time you had to leave your house to socialize, watch movies, find a book, buy stuff,...
The internet provides you an endless supply of knowledge, information, and services that allow you to learn, communicate, take care of your financials, entertain yourself, build networks, and even make money…
Who in 1983 would believe this?
2. You can ask for help
Building a solid network is one thing. But having a functioning network comes from knowing you can reach out to them and ask for help and they’ll respond.
Of course, first you should do your part and benefit those within your network.
Within a network, you can
- have regular conversations,
- share ideas,
- offer help,
- and ask for their assistance.
That will make it much easier to ask for their help.
In this modern world, the importance of the internet in building networks is undeniable.
“The Internet connects everyone to everyone. So, the internet is an inter-networking tool. It connects everybody. That is its superpower. So, you want to use that.”
3. You can get smarter
You are constantly bombarded with new information, technology and news.
If you unconsciously let these consume your mind, you’ve let useless knowledge lead you to dumbness.
Pay attention to what you learn and try to learn more effectively.
If you want to think, learn and decide better, mental models are your guides.
- Control the information you consume
- Introduce mental models to your thinking
Dealing with extreme changes can be hard; whether you’re losing your job, getting financially broke or starting a family, ending relationships, affected by illness,…
You may feel lost, don’t know where to turn and you trust neither yourself nor others.
