Why You Should Create A Wisdom Bible
How To Record And Organize Your Greatest Lessons, Learnings And Epiphanies
The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance — Benjamin Franklin
In November of 2016, I read a book on marketing. When I came across a passage of importance, I put a small star next to it. When I finished the book, I rummaged through the pages and reread all the starred passages.
Some of them no longer seemed as important now that I had the full context of the book behind me. Some of the starred passages were redundant — an unfortunate constant in nonfiction business books.
I transcribed the crux of the remaining passages into a document. I didn’t know it at the time, but this action began my Wisdom Bible. It has grown into a fifty thousand word compendium of all the significant knowledge I have accumulated over the last two-and-a-half years.
As time moved on, I continued the habit, transcribing tidbits of information to this growing manuscript. Within a few months, I had over twenty pages of material. Only then did I realize the significance of what I started.
