Quote by John Naisbitt

We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.

We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.

Summary

In today's digital age, we have access to an overwhelming amount of information at our fingertips, thanks to the internet and various other sources. However, this abundance of data does not necessarily translate into true understanding or knowledge. With limited time and attention, we often struggle to sift through the barrage of information and extract the valuable insights or meaningful knowledge that we seek. This quote highlights the paradox of our times, where despite having a surplus of information available to us, we thirst for the depth and understanding that only true knowledge can provide.

Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.

He needs no library, for he has not done thinking; no church

I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious

I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious of their own limitations. They know their strengths, but they also know their 'shadow' - they know their weaknesses. In other words, they understand that there is no good without bad. Good and evil are really one, but we have broken them up in our consciousness. We polarize them.

People do not lack strength; they lack will.
