The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Think Like
a Genius

very morning I read a variety of newspapers, from local to na-
Etional to international. This group includes the Financial Times
of the UK, the New York Times, the New York Post, the Wall Street
Journal, and more. Then I tune into the morning news programs
on television. By the time I get to the office, I have a good
overview of what’s happening in the world. Considering what has
been happening lately, this kind of attention is absolutely neces-
sary. It’s also necessary for us to begin to think creatively.
I live and work in the same building, so I have a very short
commute and rarely run into traffic, and that is a tremendous time
saver.What I do is quickly assemble what I’ve just read about and
heard, and then I see how it pertains to any of the businesses I have
or deals I have in process. I also get updates throughout the day
on what is happening, both nationally and worldwide. There is no
way you can be effective without being informed, and this is more
important today than ever.
