Don't like the video? If you would be so kind as to
FUCK OFF, it would be very much appreciated.
You don't have to watch any of My videos.
I was really thought full, after watching so many of videos on RUclips on every subject, but why it doesn't help to real change in my life?
And now i understand it will not help because Google, you tube have informations , ton of Information,
Now i know , my life will change only when i will convert these information into knowledge and then Experience,
Knowledge about knowing what to Do
Wisdom is abot what not to do,
Thanks mr. Dan, for this million dollar lesson ,
Thanks
Thank you dan!
Exactly Deepak
Can you please make a video about college, experience, and what we can do during our college journey to set ourselves up for success.
Great stuff Dan, you are wise and give out pearls of wisdom...BTW if you want 'deep', be careful what you ask for, because you will be challenged greatly by ''Aug Tellez'' on YT. Give his ''The Progenitor System'' video a listen...I had to listen to this 4 times before I understood it fully....he's on to something so profound it's almost beyond words. Be well.
Information -> Knowledge -> Experience -> Wisdom
Knowledge Experience
Experience comes first when u grow in public schools if u know what i mean heheh
Knowledge equals increase , wisdom equals decrease
Similar to the DIKW model. Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom
How I Will Apply what I learned from this video:
1. Develop clarity - before reading a book, write down exactly what is my desired outcome
2. I shall focus on how fast I can turn information > knowledge > experience > Wisdom through quick implementation of what I learn.
3. Read to solve current and near future issues (3 months); not what I may need 3 years down the road.
Well done Burney
Great summary and clear actions.
Burney Choo definitely the most impacting info i received from this video. This Time. Clarity in every area of your life makes Everything run more smooth and less stressful.
Burney Choo that's a great way to go about it

“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”
― Mark Twain
No because the man who does not read but can read has in fact read before and the other man has never read.
You should’ve seen the whole video you didn’t get it what he just said!
@@icancook5898 Said power read till you get some idea-ers....
Nick Baker bruh what are you saying????? I didn’t get it.
@@nickbaker8936 you might have to finish the entire book before you get the whole idea.
1. Don't read books, use books - just take 3 ideas
2. Clarity is power - the ability to take action
3. IMPLEMENT
I skipped this video after getting 3 extreme points cuz i dont watch videos i use videos.
Dan lok will get mad about that
Dan lok left the chat
Agreed. Although I get the joke, I do the same thing...I dnt watch the entire vid just the point.
😜
Why i don't watch dan lok's video?
Read a book and use the book. I love it. Great advice.
Exactly
Isn't that a given?
I just read 180 pages of one of sir Dan Lok book, and its seems i have to restart reading because i dont know that i should get 3 idea from there
“Knowledge is about accumulation. Wisdom is about elimination.”
Whoa! That statement hits home.
Keep up the good content!
"Knowledge is about acumulation , Wisdom is about elimination" What a great statement!
ok so I should say "I don't watch Dan Lok, I use Dan Lok"?
May be
😂😂😂😂
More like hes using you.
If you put his words into expirience to wisdom
Yeah ofcourse we don't eat foods we use foods
Knowledge is accumulation and wisdom is elimination... loved that!
Exactly Biswajit
Yeahh me 2😍
This was my biggest takeaway. Less is more.
You can read hundreds of investment books and gain lots of knowledge, but without taking action and putting your money to work, you will never become wealthy.
People say knowledge is power, but that is only half true.
The *application* of knowledge is power. You need to take action to see change.
Well said Jay. You got it
Knowledge had potential power and our action on it works as battery!
🎯💯 I totally agree.
Clarity is Power: The power to take action. Wisdom is knowing what not to do. Use Books
I know a lot of what not to do, but I don't know what to do. Am I wise?
No because you dont have ex. you can not be wise without ex.
how do you know what not to do?
Carlos Vivanco By doing it and learning from the mistake. He says he takes 3 ideas from a book that he reads. Will all those ideas work? Probably not, but you learn why did it go wrong? where did it go wrong? You answer those questions and implement it in a different way. Learning to tackle a problem in different angles. That's how you gain experience and wisdom.
@@widowmaker4lvwidow835
Great
He helped me when I was desperate in exams and he opened my eyes to see the point is to gain knowledge not marks. Thank you Dan you changed my way of thinking.
Don’t read books, use books. - Its all about taking ideas, taking information, converting it into knowledge, turn it into experience, filter the years of experience, then condense that into wisdom. That is the key for success. Thank you Dan. I’ve been spinning my wheels now from almost a year and five months.... I have been pushing myself through the ranks in the business that I’m in. finally I became my own business owner, threw it all, but I’m still really new at.. I’ve been doing really well but now I feel like I’ve been stagnant… This evening you really re-sparked something that I’ve been asking for along time... and that is how do you become wise. With this knowledge, I feel that I can now go back out there with confidence and be able to use this knowledge that I have and, be able to use the business that I’m in, to be able to make the money that I need to create my dream. That’s for later discussion... Great video! 5-stars!

You are awesome. I read a lot of books but get more confused than ever. The way you tell this subject is so convincing and I agree. Life is to short to read without laser focus on the right things that can vary from time to time. I need more clarity and wisdom. I can get stuck and paralyzed with an ocean of information I digest every day.
C don't get confused. Keep it simple
It's all about bringing discipline into your life or improving it discipline which is
Constantly chosen ardently desired and patiently persisted in
C Ros, check out Ted talk called “getting things done”
I also read a lot of books. Some of it helps, I think. But I think success is a journey and no way is it easy. Reading books is a start but unfortunately a lot of these books, most never tell you what business to go into. If I find some good success, I will comment back on here...
Book tells you what to think, but most people need is how think more efficiently.
Sifu, you just saved me a lot of time, thank you for that. From now on I use books by implementing 3 ideas immediately.
Good job Sebastian
Information = othe people's result
Knowledge = implementation
Wisdom = your result
THIS video is the BEST PIECE OF WISDOM that I have received in my 46 years of life. Thank you so Much Dan. I have watched a lot of people on the internet (so many): youtube, podcast, blogs and I have read their books too (OMG, so many pages of information), but nobody has spoken to me so clearly, so effectibly and honestly sharing his wisdom:
1.- Implementation, Implementation, Implementation.
2.- Rescue the wisdom
3.- The most important thinng: Clarity.
Thanks again Dan. Greetings from Chile-SouthAmerica
Knowing is not enough, We must apply
Bruce Lee
Indeed.
@James Redcliffe yeah ML
Truth
Wisdom is about elimination. Thank you for sharing, yes I will sleep on that. I wish you good luck and health.
Thank you Cattivo
This is true !
If book reading was a way to make a profit then librarians and bookworms would be rich or millionares..
How many of these people do you know that have actually accumulated wealth?
Reading is good but not too much and not too little..
Implementation is everything..
Information in books sparks the fire and your effort and work is what sustains it in to wealth.
Needless to say that this applies to quality book material.
Well said.
Librarians don't read. They arrange books. There are also many kinds of books.
Me : I dont Watch your videos 😡
I *use* your videos 🙂
Dan: Your IQ has reached Unlimited
Me too
Me too
Most honest successful person I ever watched on RUclips, no BS straight up truth. Dan Lok gives you the map but it’s your responsibility to find the treasure and to be successful in life. Thank you for your philanthropy (your wisdom & knowledge)on RUclips
next time someone tells me they read a book a week, I will ask them: "So what have you implemented so far?"
Good Johnny.
Knowledge is about accumulation, wisdom is about elimination.
Love that quote of yours here Dan 👆
So good.
Information < knowledge < experience < WISDOM!
Yes Tiago
Awesome Mr.dan...
You told us how to use a book... And how to extract secrets from it....
Information >knowledge >experience >wisdom
Dan,
I had a mentor tell me years ago it’s not about accumulation, it about execution! I really enjoy your videos, I’ve learned a lot from your videos, and even though our values of “wealthy” are different I definitely appreciate your drive and have become a better husband and employer from them!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!
Remember a self help book is written by a Human and not God, and that is written from his/her personal experience. Self help books will give you the way that worked for that person and it is not the Ultimatum, you take information from that book and use it according to your situation. You don't need to practice every single thing written in that book!
I agree. Plus it's really hard to immerse yourself in the book specially if you can't relate or have an understanding of what the writer is trying to say. I get bored easily and just close the book. Don't read books for the sake of reading
What do you mean (not God)?
but for me God is the source of our knowledge
Your perspective for life really means business, and there is so much to learn from you.
Keep learning Prajwal
Thanks Dan for breaking down and explaining wisdom, knowledge, and experience. Wonderful how we make things difficult for ourself when all we need is simplicity.
Not gonna I clicked the title and when you said “I use books” I said “same”
...glad to know I’m a gaining a rich mind set
Very good points. I'm a want-rapreneur. Saving and reading books, watching a lot of business RUclips videos and listening to podcasts. Looking to start something in the next year. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'm really grateful to be in this era. I dont have real life role models that are doing what I want to do, so really grateful for all the platforms where we can gain knowledge.
I will look for the "Big 3" when going through books and find ways to implement them in the real world. Gaining experience and turning it into knowledge and wisdom. Thanks again Dan.
Great advise I just found out about Dan Lok but I guess its true, things come to you when you are ready and able to receive them, Thank you Dan your words have been a inspiration to me
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on RUclips....thanks Sifu Dan
Nice to watch a brother putting things together in others minds and hearts.
The very best for you and your beloved,
Miguel
I have only read Think and Grow Rich
- TK Kirkland
Sir . thanks for all of this information ill use them wisely. Thanks and im so happy that people sharing their knowledge like you still exist. You helped me a lot .
Basically it's like going to a shop with a list, you don't go through everything in the store however you go for the specific items you came for. For this case three specific items.
Reduction = Production
That's right Mozart
Little is more.
I knew Mozart was a smart man
U didn't look that smart in the movie amadeus
I'm surrounded by people who hate reading books, and they say it is not practical use, it is all theoretical. For myself, I have the same thought as what you just said and totally agree with it! Read it, understand, make it into practice.. instead of just finishing it. Every book is informative, and this remind me of how I should share info like this to people who don't see it!
3 ideas today ; knowledge - experience - wisdom. Every video from you, is a book for me.
Thanks Dan Lok
Title should be "I don't just read books,I use the books".
You watched it because the title captured your attention. You were eager to see why - and how - Dan Lok became successful without reading books, and how you too can do the same. If he used the title you suggested, you will most probably not watch it. That's copywriting at its peak! That shows that Dan practices what he teaches.
@@oshinubijoshua7719 wow good analysis.
Yes
Well said!👌👌
There are some books though that you have to read from beginning to the end because those books may not specifically have only 3 implementation ideas but may completely change the way you think.
Example- Think and grow rich. (Reading the whole book is important because every point in that book is dependent on other points.)
Exactly Manav
Manav Singh hahaha, you must be kidding, want an actual life changing book? The 80/20 rule
Regarding Rich dad Poor Dad I watched a video about the 4 quadrants and listened to the audiobook. Effortless + the voice of the narrator was empowering. I used that book and I highly recommended it. Definitely on my top 3 books. Think and grow rich is good. As a man thinketh is good. How to stop worrying and start living is Another good one.

"The purpose of learning is Mastery. It's all about implementation "- Dan Lok
Just what I needed. I've been reading and watching lots and have never been more confused. Thanks Dan
Sure i am agree with this
Hi Dan, it's Thiago Santana from Brazil. Nice to meet you. I got to know your work a short time ago and I'm really enjoying it. And of all the videos I've seen so far this is the best. Congratulations ! 5 years of course!
In school there's only one right answer in life and in business there is more than one answer.
Only if you went to a shit school or only took maths classes
nice comment konswag
Information (Finding the things that you need to use to get the end result that you want) ----> Knowledge (Gathering the information you got and ----> Experiencing (Implementing and testing out the knowledge ) -----> Wisdom
7:06
Knowledge is about accumulation. Gathering in information
Wisdom is about elimination. Do a couple of things that get you the result you want.
8:26
Don't read books. Use books.
Jesus!! Dan, this is some real wisdom talk!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT! This is REAL VALUE! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 👍🙌💖🌞
The distinction you made between Knowledge and Wisdom really helped me tonight in my marriage. After I got in a fight with my husband, I went back to reconcile and tried something entirely different. I wasn't 100% successful but I made progress in the reconciliation. In the past, he would have shut me down completely and the reconciliation often turned into another fight. Yet, tonight, he listened to me. Even though he didn't drop down his wall, my approach didn't end in a fight and I didn't leave the scene feeling resentful as I often did. I was encouraged by the idea that I need to keep tweaking my approach, gaining more experience till I get to my goal of reconciliation an hour after a fight. I am going to be using this strategy of converting knowledge to Wisdom in all the important areas of my life. Thank you!
Awesome implementation Bosede!
Thank you Mr. Dan Lok. I don't watch your video very often. But whenever I have a difficult question that I cannot give a thoughful answer, I look for your videos. They helped me a lot. Thanks again!
No longer will I pride myself on reading books just for the sake of doing so. I will spend each of my reading sessions looking for ideas to implement immediately. I now understand that any other use of a book is fruitless. Thank you for giving me clarity.
Your each video challenges my mindset and perspective. I just realised that I have been doing only *"surface learning"*. Thanks Dan. Love from India!
I closed this video tab after three minutes cuz I already extracted the 3 ideas from this wise man.
This is one of the ABSOLUTE quickest and best videos on RUclips! I love how you get straight to the point, great job!
Hello Dan, I'm a Sierra Leonean.
Since i started following you up on this and many more platforms, my life has changed a lot
Thanks for everything and may Allah bless you.
What i'm going to do is not read my books any further if i have not implemented at least one thing from the previous chapter.
Well done
I am sapphire and little bit of ruby ..The same way you read a few chapters highlight it works for me but My wife she can read hundreds of books and get so many ideas it can be overwhelming at times but I highlight what I need to take from it and imply Dude I’m glad I found you as one of my mentors thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge keep up the good work
I will keep making videos, thank you
How does your wife read hundreds of books does she implement the same or similar technique that Dan talks about? Also whats the time frame in a month a week or what? thanks
This method is 80/20 principle
Exactly Prem
Prem Sai It's funny U say that im actually reading the 80/20 Your Life book right now!
@@breezeway3410 you're "using" that book or by now you've used it.
@@humbleweare I have used it now. Good book U should check it out. I found it on Amazon kindle for like 4 bucks
@@breezeway3410 appreciate good sir. Will put that the to use book list.
Clarity is power. When we got clarity we were able to act and go in the RIGHT direction.
DAN "THE MAN" monicker really speaks to itself. It's an honor watching you.
True. Well said.
My pleasure
Extract the big 3 and put the book away. Clarity is power. Information - knowledge - experience - wisdom. Knowledge is about accumulation. Wisdom is about elimination.
Exactly Christina. You got it
Take the valuable information and ignore the information useless to you. Great video!
Exactly
Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Someone has read his Bruce Lee. I feel like Dan and myself have similar spirits. I think Dan might be an Atheist or Buddhist. If Dan were to ever serve King Jesus he would be unstoppable. The devil would definitely try. But with the Holy spirit Dan would prevail.
If my sense was wrong about your faith I apologize.
38/100 videos down. For those of yall that are not sure what I am talking about; Dan set a challenge to watch 100 videos and see how your life improves.
So far. My entire posture has improved. I work in Final Expense sales. I respond to leads by going to their house in person (my clients recieve a letter in the mail letting them know I will come by). Between houses I play his videos and listen with my mind and heart. By the time I make it to the door...my energy is in such a confident and clear space that I no longer feel uncomfortable knocking on the door. The seniors I help appreciate me and love my style during the sales presentations. My closing has improved also. It made the difference of going out two days with no results to going out for 1 hour and closing easily. I no longer feel anxious but rather excited.
I believe in myself and my vision has expanded.
I failed to make things happen with this business 3x due to lack of confidence and self sabotage.
My goal is to produce 26k in annualized premium in 1 month for 4 months straight.
Lets see what happenes next...
Im still going!
Nice video Dan. I enjoy listening to your words, great voice. I like how you use a little bit of repetition as Reinforcement, not too much, not too little. Other speakers the repeat too much, to me seem more robotic than personal. Again, i enjoy your videos and have been watching them for some time now. TY
I am going to change the way I read books.
Knowledge is about accumulation. Wisdom is about elimination. What a good lesson! I need to use the books wisely and implement. Thank you Sifu! =)
True you gotta implement not just read knowledge is power when you apply it.
That's right Matthew
Fantastic video. Quite deep. Thanks for bringin clarity to the area of learning, understanding, doing, and getting results.
I'm learning how to take care of my finances while also applying for different jobs.
Dan love you for that concept, at my 16's that was a revelation
Information and action is what make you richer.
Wrong... Information and knowing which action to take makes you richer. This is why you need experience to filter out which action to take. There is no one size fits all. What works for someone may not work for you. That's why its not so easy to gain wisdom... it takes experience and time.
Wow brilliant mind! Thanks! Greetings from Brazil 😄
Nicolly Farao Shoutout from Brazil - Rio here!
Great concept. I usually would highlight and jot down any big ideas that I would come across in a book, but is was always hard just to finish reading the entire book, but when you said you use books as opposed to reading them a light bulb 🌟 of realization went off.
Thank you Dan
Dan Lok you are the first entrepreneur to tell me to use books rather than read and pick out pieces of information I thank you for that little nugget of information I will start trying that otherwise I'm going to be reading for years I'm a slow reader so that is an amazing nugget of information for me thank you so much
Information- data, facts
Knowledge- how to use information
Wisdom- when to use information
I've been using books since I was able. I've never read a book in my life. I have my doctorate.
The same here 😊👏
Best defination of wisdom I got now.Thanks den
Thanks Dan
I'm just interested in accumulating knowledge but no idea how to implement it . Now I'm concentrating on how to implement it after watching your video. Thanks once again
I met this man while surfing on youtube by accident, and now I'm chained to him, he is so clear and simple with his explanation.
How can someone use books? They need to read in the first place. Reading is an action from which the information is gathered and it can be used later. So when Dan says he doesn't read, he reads but uses the information as he is explaining.
Exactly
Like the difference between hearing and listening 😉
that's what we call wisdom
I can do your work of saying exactly?
The app blinkist is perfect for this as it literally does it for you. It breaks down the most important lessons to learn from the book into separate reads. Essentially you can read an entire book in 15 mins it's great guys try it!
I came and disliked... And taught it was some guy saying knowlage is bad.... But i changed into a like...
Darth Vader exactly
How stupid is it to dislike something you have not even seen or tried? Reminds me of my kids who hate almost any new food with tasting it.
It's not stupid, it's edgy.
Douglas E Knapp who the fuck cares about your story or kids.
Learn to not dislike before you watch, you shouldn't judge based on your first impression.
Overall great video. Just that, information is knowledge I think you mean once you get your information and knowledge you need to learn how to use it which is called wisdom. Wisdom is the way in which you use the knowledge that you learned, like you said implementation.
Wisdom comes from the trial and error process. One failure is just one more door opened to the pathway of wisdom to knowing what works for you. Failure isn't failure..it is experience gained.
Brilliant love it. Starting a new practice as an alternative doctor and needed this. Thank you 🙏
“I don’t read books, i use them.” 0.5 seconds after he said that he says “when i read a book” hahah but naw i understand what he is saying, great info!
I use book to punch my teacher
it means he doesnt just read books just for the sake of reading the book alone. It means he extract some info from the books and test it.. Reading book is useless and waste of time if you don't test the information in real life.
He is a genius at marketing!
Blinkist extract the main ideas of a book, that might be a good solution then?
I like to use it for books I wouldn't read entirely.
Use what applies to you right now.
Thanks dan! Your perception has a whole different level of clarity , looking forward to take up your class and became a entrepreneur.
I guess there's a process you missed about processing information. I just to share Bloom's Taxonomy.
It's Knowledge > Comprehension > Application > Analysis > Evaluation > Synthesis
Maybe i missed the part where you sad some of those, but that's the order of how it is done.
Bentley Baby! Love the car! That is being a Boss!
That's right Kalyn.
Info-knowledge-experience-wisdom(elimination) 👍
48 laws of power by Robert Greene I recommend
benji West Except everybody and their brother has read it. Not much of an advantage.
Nice explanation.
Information >>knowledge >>Experience >>Wisdom
Wisdom =what not to do
=When not to do anything
You are indeed a wise man. Bumped into your videos today and damn they are gold. I am learning things that I am going to implement.
