Â
Make a Simple Habit
All you’ve to do is to make a simple habit . After this habit , You are going to be a true intelligent and experienced person in your life . Let me talk about the habit now . The habit is nothing but to apply practically what you read first (a section/topic) . Then , (after completing the practical part related to the section you read) go for another reading part . It is looking so simple and easy when you hear it but follow practically is always slightly difficult . It doesn’t matter that how much reading material you have been through . Â But , It matters a lot that how much of it you apply in your life .
For Example
If you read any scripture of the world , there are so many points which look so effective and practically possible . One way is to go through complete book in few days and forget half of the things by the time you complete the book . But , our method is to go through with one part/section of reading first . Then , think that in your mind for a while & try to get ideas that how could you apply those ancient sayings in today’s life . There are many things which we could apply even today from our old Scriptures & get benefit . Their relevance would be there in every generation .
Same way , there are many self-improvement books available in the market . People go through these books and feel motivation for some time . But after a while they get engaged in their life and start forgetting all the teaching which they got from the book . Here , better way to get complete benefit of these books is by applying them instantly in your life and make a habit . For example , If there are 20 chapters in a book , go through with first chapter . Then , find out all the points which could be applicable practically in your life and apply them practically and see the results . If you feel that any point is going to be perfect suit in your present life then you must make it a habit . Go further with other points as well .
Concluding Part
Once you follow this way , You are going to feel a change in you because when you ‘Take In’ something , you’ve to ‘Take Out’ something . When you take in a good thing , You’ve to take out a bad thing related to that . This way , You are going to become a true knowledgeable person that is going to bring some glory for the society as well . After all , You are reading something which is already proved many times in many generations , provided you choose a genuine content .
Why did I say that this knowledge is perfect because experience is attached to it . Once you read something and then apply it in your practical life , definitely you are going to get different results every time you try . This is what we call experience . Your hold on particular knowledge becomes more stronger every time you apply it . Therefore , choice is yours , whether you want to be just known as an intelligent person or really want to become intelligent .

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between being intelligent and having knowledge?
Knowledge means learning something from books or other sources. It’s just having information. Intelligence means actually using that knowledge in your real life. If you read books but never apply what you learn, then you only have information. You don’t have intelligence. Real intelligence comes when you take knowledge and use it in your daily life.
Why do people forget what they read in books?
Most people forget because they rush through books quickly. They read fast and finish, that’s it. When you don’t apply what you’re reading while reading, your brain thinks it’s not important and forgets it. The right way is: read one section, use it in your life, see what happens, then move to the next section.
How can old teachings work in today's world?
Old scriptures and ancient teachings were written by wise people. Humans are the same – whether 2,000 years ago or today.
For example, if someone wrote “sleep is necessary,” it was true 100 years ago, and it’s still true today. Just match the old teachings to modern life and apply them. The core truth stays the same in every generation.
What happens when you build a good habit?
When you adopt a good habit, your old bad habit automatically disappears.
Example: If you start exercising daily, sitting around doing nothing stops naturally. When good goes in, bad goes out. It happens automatically without extra effort.
Reading motivation books is enough for change?
After reading a motivational book, you feel motivated for 1-2 days. Then after some days, you forget everything because you don’t apply what you read. Real change only happens when you use what you learned every single day. Without daily practice, it’s just a temporary good feeling. Actual change doesn’t happen.
