Have you ever wondered why there are people who seem to know everything? Perhaps you realise that several of your friends are categorised in this group. More often than not, they are regarded as the walking encyclopaedia due to their ability to answer questions about any topic. They seem to have vast general knowledge and they can give explanation in both brief and detailed manner. 

“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin. 

Generally, people with a cornucopia of knowledge seem to excel in both professional as well as personal lives. Their thirst for knowledge encourage them to progress and strive to be excellent. In addition, they are very committed to the things they do along with iron-willed discipline. Here are three things that people who know a lot tend to do every day. 

1. They Read A Lot. 

People with extensive knowledge commit themselves to learn and read every day. The books that they read are based on various genres, from fiction such as mystery, romance and science fiction to non-fiction which includes biographies, memoirs and literature – just to name a few. Being avid readers allows them to have exposures to all kind of things. Hence they are able to understand and process information at a quicker rate. 

2. They Are Curious. 

Curiosity is one of the values which drives them to seek for more knowledge. Furthermore, they also ask a lot of questions to everyone, from their friends to their teachers and professors. Instead of sitting down and waiting for their questions to be answered by others, they put in effort to search and discover for the answers themselves. This does not only makes them smarter, but also provides solutions to their problems. 

3. They Have Wide Social Networks. 

They network with all sorts of people regardless of their fields. They are aware that by meeting various kinds of people, they are able to learn new things as each of them has their own story to share. Apart from that, most of their friends are equally if not more knowledgeable as they share the same penchant for knowledge. As the saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together”. You can widen your social circle by joining groups in social media such as LinkedIn or meet ups like Couchsurfing.
