The Number One Skill in the World

The most useful digital skill I have is knowing how to find information.

It is the skill I use most, day in, day out. It has changed my life and played a big part in getting me where I am.

I don't need to memorise every command or menu. I need to know how and where to find what I need. Tools change. That skill keeps being useful.

This is going to sound harsh, but if you always need someone else to send you a link, that link will only take you so far. You will still have to do some research yourself to complete your knowledge.

“What is an ETF?” is a search you can make for yourself. Finding an answer is a start. You still need to understand it and check where it came from.

The best use of my time is to light the spark and trigger your thought process. Then it is down to you to find information relevant to where you live and how much you already know.

If you have searched and found something difficult to understand, you can ask a specific question. That is a better use of your time and mine.

Now please don't ask for information on how to find information.
