Successful people are continually looking for ways to expand their knowledge because they understand that to be updated is a must in order to have the chance to seize new opportunities. They repeatedly invest in the process of self-education. They are always buying and reading books to acquire knowledge and put into practice what they learn. They regularly attend seminars given by experts and are eager to listen to those who have greater experience. We have to learn from them because they have the right attitude.
By contrast, the vast majority of the population is completely different. They hardly read books; they actually prefer to browse magazines and newspapers. When they read a book, it usually is the latest pulp fiction bestseller… I’m not criticizing pulp fiction writers though – everyone has the right to do as they like – but I’m trying to emphasize the fact that if only 15% of the population buys books, it means that 85% of the population don’t read books at all… pity! Of course, these people never go to seminars either (unless their companies pay for it), and they are not interested in buying courses to develop themselves in any way. They say they can’t afford it but astonishingly, they can afford their cigarettes, alcohol, etc. Times are tough but in most cases though, not investing in a book that will help you improve your life style is simply an excuse. Ironically, the people who need to commit to self education are the last people to do it.
You have to weigh the financial cost against the long-term personal cost of not obtaining the knowledge you require. Let’s learn from successful people: Translators cannot afford to be outdated when we want to do well in our fields and achieve all of our goals!
