Journal CBMC , CBMC International - Manna, Newsgroup, [0], 22 Apr 2005, Rick Warren, SURVIVING THE PLAGUE OF INFORMATION OVERLOAD ; We now live in what has been appropriately termed "the Information Age." The Industrial Age is over. Knowledge is the new capital. Nearly half of all the people in the labor force of the 21st century are defined as "knowledge workers," involved in collecting, analyzing, organizing, storing, retrieving, or communicating information. Information and time are two of your most valuable resources. Benjamin Disraeli once said, "The most successful person is usually the one with the best information." Right now there is important information readily available that is vital to your success. But do you ever feel overwhelmed by the volume of information that bombards you each day? You have good reason to feel this way. Consider the following statistics:
-The last 30 years have produced more information than the previous 5,000 years combined.
-Nearly 50,000 books and 10,000 magazines are published in the U.S.A. alone, every year.
-Every single day, researchers and scientists produce 7,000 new scientific papers!
-The average American is confronted with about 140 advertising messages a day, or about 50,000 a year.
Today we are drowning in information. One morning edition of most daily newspapers contains more information than a typical person in the 16th century would encounter in a lifetime! And it's getting worse! Experts tell us that the amount of information available to you now doubles every five years. That means that five years from today, there will be twice as much known in your field, whatever it is, as there is today. One recent survey discovered that the average desk in the typical workplace office has 36 hours' worth of work stacked on it - and much of that consists simply of necessary reading! How can anyone keep up? Solomon, who the Bible described as the wisest man in the world, understood this problem. He said, "Be warned: there is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and become very exhausting!" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). He also said, "To increase knowledge only increases distress" (Ecclesiastes 1:18). In other words, knowledge alone is not enough. Today, to succeed in your business or professional career, as well as in life in general, you need three skills:
1. You need to know what's worth knowing and what isn't. Selection is the first key to survival.
2. You need to understand the meaning of what you know. This comes from seeing the "Big Picture." Perspective enables you to see how things relate, and their significance on a bigger scale.
3. You need to know what to do with what you know.
These three skills are called having WISDOM. Wisdom is even more critical to your success than knowledge, because wisdom turns information into power. The question is, how do we get more wisdom? First, ASK GOD FOR WISDOM. Amazingly, God wants to help you! "If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5). Second, READ THE BIBLE AND FOLLOW GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS. The Bible says, "Anyone who looks intently into God's perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it he will be blessed in what he does" (James 1:25). With such an unbelievable deluge of information confronting us each day, there is no way we can know all that we need to know about any subject. The issue becomes, therefore, how well can we use what we do know? - and that requires wisdom.
