Share your knowledge

Share your knowledge: You may not have lots of wealth to share, but you sure have lots of knowledge to share for the benefit of all

Knowledge and wealth are almost equivalent. One can find a lot of cases in Talmud where knowledge and wealth is compared side by side. In simple terms, knowledge and wealth increases side by side.Both knowledge and wealth only function when there is a "flow". Wealth being locked up and not reinvested into the society is no better than poverty. By the same token, knowledge that is not circulated to others are antiques kept in store room where nobody can appreciate. A wealthy man reinvesting his capital as direct/indirect investment is similar to a wise man teaching others with knowledge he acquired. Knowledge has an advantage over wealth here: any one dollar can only be allocated to one investment; but a piece of knowledge can be multiplied and spread to hundreds or even millions. There is no scarcity in knowledge.

Lesson I learnt: Since I read so many books, I acquired new knowledge. Such knowledge, if not spread and communicated to others, is like "dead capital". I should spend more time to disseminate such knowledge to people around me. That's why this Blog is created. Keep a lookout for it.
