Immerse yourself in good books. Read one to two hours per week if you can, more if time permits. Become acquainted with the literary classics. Read as much as you can on personal improvement (self help), history, people, business, and finances. Study the great works of the philosophers. Study scriptures and read about religions and anything that adds value to religious beliefs. Invest in yourself! Learn as much as you can and become a student of life. You can learn a great deal from the experiences of others, from their great successes and also from their failures. Everything you read becomes part of you. Carefully choose what you read on a daily basis. Be very careful with what you choose to read. The words you choose to read play an important role in your personal development and overall outlook on life. Be open-minded about what you read and often take what you read with a grain of salt. Much of what we read is written through colored lenses and is the summation of someone else’s thought, habit, education, beliefs, and past and present life experiences. Jerald Simon
About This Quote

A quote shared by the author of the book 'The Art of War', Sun Tzu's book of strategy and warfare has been translated as "Know thyself". The concept is similar to the idea of self-improvement, but it is more concerned with the application of the knowledge gained by study, rather than individual improvement. Military strategists and leaders who studied Sun Tzu's writings on warfare and war tactics found that they could apply the principles to many situations.
