It pays to Know How to Purchase Knowledge

First of all, decide the sort of specialized knowledge you require, and the purpose for which it is needed. To a large extent your major purpose in life, the goal toward which you are working, will help determine what knowledge you need. With this question settled, your next move requires that you have accurate information concerning dependable sources of knowledge. The more important of these are:

a. One’s own experience and education.
b. Experience and education available through cooperation of others
c. Colleges and universities.
d. Public Libraries through books and periodicals in which may be found all the knowledge organized by civilization.
e. Special training courses.

As knowledge is required it must be organized and put into use, for a defined purpose, through practical plans. Knowledge has no value except that which can be gained from its application toward some worthy end. If you contemplate taking additional schooling, first determine the purpose for which you want the knowledge you are seeking, then learn where this particular sort of knowledge can be obtained, from reliable sources.
