All of us have encountered having troubles about certain incidents in our life that our brain cannot solve it alone. Producing no answers is the time we ask other people for solutions and answers. It is also part of the learning process. Everyone in this planet has encountered this, especially in the formative years of a kid, to the time we enter school, and up to now that our brain is still working.
Our mind never sleeps, it keeps on thinking. And if our brain cannot answer a problem or question, we ask or seek for answers. We never get satisfied unless that question is answered. The more questions you have, the more answers you would have. The more answers you have, the more knowledgeable you become.
Professionals have tons of questions that got answered, thus they have supreme knowledge. However entrepreneurs do have more answers than questions, thus they earn tons of money by answering people’s problems and adding value to their lives.
Although professionals and entrepreneurs have different paths, they started with asking and seeking advices. Not just from anyone, but advices that came from people who have been successful on the field they want to take.
Who would you rather seek advice from? Is it from people who have no idea or have failed in the field you want to take? Or do you seek advice from people who have been successful?
Think about it. If you have problems solving math equations, do you seek advice from an English Literature expert? Or if you want to build a house, do you seek advice from banker? And if you wanted to put up a business, would you rather ask someone who have a failed business how he did it or ask someone who made millions with it?
An example would be John Gokongwei. Although I haven’t talked to him personally, I can say that he doesn’t know a lot about business when he was born. I believe he studied it and sought advice of other entrepreneurs in the said fields before he entered an industry. Even if he have a highly successful Universal Robina Corporation (country’s largest snacks manufacturer), he tried to find out and learn about other industries such as telecommunications and airlines, thus Sun Cellular and Cebu Pacific Airlines. Imagine if he talked to a lot of failures in the past, do you think he would be successful in what he does?
Seeking for answers means you want to be better than what you are right now which is something that we all must be. Never stop learning because there’s no such thing as you know everything even if you’ve been doing what you do for years. Even the richest people in the world never stop letting knowledge get inside their brain.
This is a simple lesson in life that we don’t acknowledge. Maybe we should start re-thinking about what we want to happen in our life and re-shape it by seeking advice of successful people rather than experts in failing. - DE
