So today I was looking at my bookshelf with over 80+ books on it, and was thinking to what I've learnt from it and I look at it and think I haven't really accomplished anything from all this reading. Sometimes I think because these books are not tailored to your situation they won't help you, thus pointless reading them. What was your guys opinion on it?
Spot on! This platform wouldn't exist without a book...Books are a great educational tool. I worked more than two decades in a job I hated. It's TMF that gave me the courage and tools to quit my 9-5 job and get into business. As MJ said, you read a book that helps you solve the problem you're currently facing...right now I'm focusing on enhancing my technical and selling skills, so I'm into those kind of books...Man, you are wrong on so many levels. Life is more than just motivation and facing difficult decisions (even though books can help with both of those). And it has nothing to do with 'positive BS about how everyone can be an entrepreneur'. It's about education - and yes, experience is one of the best sources of education, but don't be so quick to say that books can't change who a person is or what their actions are. It's just wrong. Just because they haven't done anything for you or you have nothing to learn from books (which would be a lie), it doesn't mean that books are as meaningless as you paint them to be.
It's sad to see negative comments about books/education on a forum or community that would cease to exist without.... you guessed it - a book.
Yes man, they are a waste of time.So today I was looking at my bookshelf with over 80+ books on it, and was thinking to what I've learnt from it and I look at it and think I haven't really accomplished anything from all this reading.
