“What good is it to know a lot, but not know how to apply your knowledge to your needs?” So wisely spoke one of Italy’s greatest minds, Petrarch Francesco, 700 years ago.
Isn’t it a familiar situation when you seem to be not a stupid person, but for some reason, you can’t seem to apply your knowledge in practice? How do you make your knowledge and experience work? AdmiGram.com will teach you how to do this as effectively as possible.
How to make your knowledge work for you
Treat any problem as a task
Everyone has goals and dreams, but unfortunately, most of them fall into the category of ‘unfulfilled’. The reason for this is the lack of habit of seeing a problem as a task. Instead of ‘solving’ the problem, a person comes up with a huge list of excuses burying their dream: got sick, bad teacher, no one understood, no support, headache, broke a leg…
Even the biggest and most complex problem has its solutions. Why? Because everything in our life has a cause-and-effect relationship. Look at the problem comprehensively. It always has its causes and effects. And also, a solution algorithm. It’s like a logic school problem. Break it down into components, look for unknowns, come up with a solution plan, use logic.
Shake off the inertia of thinking
Inert thinking is what prevents you from using your life experience and knowledge to solve anything. For example, you can’t find suitable invitation cards for your guests. Why not draw them yourself, especially if you were good at drawing in college?
Or record a video invitation for each guest individually, especially if you were a star of the drama club in school? Try to identify stereotypes in your perception of the world and approach them critically. This is one of the tools for effectively solving any life problems.
Master the mundane
Getting stuck in the mundane is even worse than having stereotypical thinking. For example, you need a new desk. And you won’t just buy a new one, but also one like you’ve seen at your neighbor’s or your best friend’s. Did you attend a carpentry club in your youth? Why not make a table yourself? Or at least a small one?
Did your father teach you to fix the kitchen faucet by yourself? Or did your mother teach you to bake cakes and cupcakes? Why should you go to the store and buy everything you can make yourself? When you do something yourself and see the result, it’s not only fun but also makes your life happier.
Monetize what people need from you
Often, we perceive our help to others as something self-evident. And that’s great! We can argue that someone also turns to you for help. Why not monetize that? No, we’re not talking about taking money from those in need! We’re talking about something else entirely.
There are plenty of ways to make yourself known to the world: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and so on. These are excellent platforms for you to share your knowledge, experience, or even opinions with the world. When you see that it’s not only in demand but also brings you income, you’ll realize that your life can be even more amazing than you could have imagined!
