Knowledge is not equal to information

Another challenge I have is to digest information given by others and come out with knowledge and my own stand on that topic.

First, I often quote others in my job scope. I often said he said …, she said …, they said… Instead of digesting what the person/people say, I just remember them and quote what they said. In some situations, yes, they are needed to put weight and accuracy. But using them every time would defeat the purpose.

Second, I often stop at taking notes or info and then keep the raw notes instead of making a summary. So end up that I do not get the insights which are important.

So, let’s practice to digest more, and go to the point more directly.
