Be a knowledge creator, contribute for the world

How long will you be on the back foot. Its time to come forward and present yourself as the knowledge creator. In recent time, in all of my project management classes I start my lecture throwing a question to my audience – What is the main product the world frontiers like America sells? Why developed countries are far ahead of countries like us?

Most often the answers I hear, it is technology, money, economy, muscle (Arms), geography (big in size) etc. I say them it is the ‘knowledge (of course in different forms)’ that is the key products that the frontiers sell and the ‘knowledge gap’ that made the difference. We are only the consumer of the knowledge created by the world frontiers (countries/people). They are the Knowledge Creators and we are the consumers. Frontiers create knowledge (in different form), distribute the knowledge and sell the knowledge globally, knowledge is their core product.

Unless you put yourself on the seat of the knowledge creators you cannot sit on the frontiers chair. Neither this happened in this era, nor it is the first time knowledge has become the differentiator. If we look back in the history, Roman, Greek, Islamic Civilization we will find the same thing.

So much of talking on learning, life-long learning, being curious all the time, skills development and so forth. Reading books, participating in training, learning online, learning through internet everywhere we are the consumers. Lets start creating knowledge, be a creator.

You have lot of things to share to the world. In this year 2019 my main focus was, reading the best selling books, you will see how a small concept or idea they are selling globally. May be you are in a third world country or so, but you learned so many things, the struggles, the resilience, the poverty, the politics, the people, the culture, the ethics, the family, the happiness, and what not. Its time to show the world who you are. Good luck and lets see you in the knowledge creators realm. Go and conquer!
