The Power of CONTENT (Knowledge) …the ‘POEM’
mayurkalbag@hotmail.com
How much’ you know is not as important as ‘how well’ you know With ‘depth’ in your content, through all spheres of life you shall grow
Strength of your subject will propel to ‘effectively speak’
Disclarity in your perspectives may make you diffident and weak
To build clear thoughts, a constant effort you must make
Different you must be from those who pretend to know it all but are fake
Depth and clarity in your content will give you confidence and grit
To communicate your topics the power of content shall make you firm and fit
‘Reading and Research’; important processes are these...
As they help you gain knowledge, on varied topics you can speak with ease
Books are not the only media, even from Mother Nature you must ‘read’
So much to learn from the mountains, rivers and even from a simple ‘seed’
Without the Power of Content your self-esteem may take a downward dive
‘Knowledge’…an important value that keeps you vibrant and ‘alive’
To the ever changing world you must be alert and aware
The more you strengthen your content, the more you shall begin to share
The power of ‘knowing’ underestimate you never must
CONTENT enriches your mind, without it, the mind may begin to rust
Inspire yourself and start exploring the ‘deep’ and the ‘far’
Forget you never must though to also gain knowledge of ‘WHO YOU TRULY ARE’
Something about the poem…
The above poem is all about the role of Content in making us more effective in our pursuit toward professional success.
Content basically means our Depth of Knowledge. In today’s world we cannot grow without learning new and interesting things.
Acquiring academic degrees and PHDs is truly great but then after that what is important is to remember that the process of Learning should not stop and must always continue.
The more the knowledge the better will be our ability to handle tough and near to impossible challenges.
For example, when an employee joins the organization as a junior executive looking after sales and promotion it is important that he begins to slow and steadily start reading about the function of sales and begins to watch videos on how can selling be done in the best possible manner.
If that sales executive does now enhance his knowledge about the Sales function he will end up not growing as fast and high as he could grow.
Knowledge fundamentally gives us that extra and added advantage to become more efficient and productive.
he power of Content truly can make us uniquely different from the others especially when there is so much competition around us.
As we all want to become successful in our respective careers it is vital that we, from now onwards, begin to increase our knowledge about our specific work and products and make our CONTENT extremely strong.
Let us not wait anymore. Let us get started. Let us grab a book on a subject related to our work or related to aspects of leadership and personality development and thereby begin the process of strengthening our CONTENT.
Steps to strengthen your Content
1. Invest twenty minutes every day in reading ‘General Knowledge’ through News Papers and Books. You may also acquire broader perspectives about the all that is happening around the globe by exploring through the various internet search engine
2. Once in a week, invest at least thirty minutes towards enhancing your knowledge about the specific area of work that you may be involved in. Having said that it is important that while you read about things related to your work it is always more effective and profitable to make pertinent notes in a writing pad or underline with a pencil the things that you may have found to be interesting and useful.
3. In the course of your professional as well as social interactions try your best to extract knowledge from the people that you interact with. Remember we must, that every interaction is an opportunity for you to learn something from and thereby enhance your knowledge.
4. YouTube, today is a great tool for learning as it can provides a fantastic Audio-visual presentation to the people who want to explore something new and learn from it. And hence when you have some free time, try to make the best use of it to watch some concise and yet interesting videos that could be related to your hobbies as well as your professional development. I remember watching an amazing video of just a duration of fifteen minutes about Innovation and Creative Thinking for New Age Leaders and I was able to extract a lot of learnings from it.
5. Finally, you could also enrol into a University for a specific Educational course that would be connected to your nature of work or to your future objectives. There are various Certification courses which you could explore for yourself.
