Uncertainty

Bertrand Russel Said:

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

Interesting .... "Clarity", too much of it, means lack of wisdom ? Is it the unsureness that surrounds the thought of human beings that dictates that, or the mere fact that the human capacity (and potential) of knowledge is so limited compared to the vastness of the universe that we inhabit?

Or is it simply that these two are one?

www.think-grow.biz: Introduction




“ Where is the Life we have lost in living?

Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? ”

T.S. Elliot—1934



The idea of www.think-grow.biz is to provide easy, accessible and wide knowledge, and help spread a culture of learning that is suitable for our fast times, keeping focus on the end goal which is attaining enough knowledge to reach wisdom, the utilization of this knowledge to achieve life’s goals.






The Vision of Think-Grow

One of the eBook and knowledge-related phenomena lately is the widespread of ‘book summaries’ over the internet. This is a clear form of consumerism as it moves to knowledge and invades intellectual life. It is very important to know that wisdom is not a fast food meal that can be digested in hours. Attaining wisdom is an attitude that becomes character, with all the determination, perseverance and strength that is related to that.


Remember, if a book summary was enough, there would have been no need to write the book in the first place. Book summaries make sense only when your goal becomes to have a general knowledge about a field and understand all its aspects with strong attention to details and specifics, never simply as a replacement for the book.


This is the mission of Think-Grow: Providing the tools to attain enough knowledge, and the explanation on the route to be taken for that, while keeping in mind the general bigger picture, even though covering diverse fields. Think-Grow gives the learner more control over the process, and bigger and deeper understanding through more effective use of the resources of time and organization.
