Why Learning Is A New Procrastination
- The tremendous world of online courses, blogs, social media, free eBooks, podcasts, and
- webinars provides the best ever opportunity to broaden your knowledge in almost every sphere
- you can imagine. Thanks to technological advancement and the instant access to the internet,
- everyone can now study from home. It seems like it would be foolishly not to seize this
- opportunity and improve your skills and knowledge. Moreover, you are kind of forced to do so
- since the contemporary world has raised the bar higher than ever before. It literally invited you
- to gather the pace and ___________ even more.
- It is not surprising that, ultimately, you try to be everywhere and do everything. No doubt,
- you do your best to constantly gather tiny bits of information from as many channels as
- possible, because you are afraid that you will fall behind if you stop. After all, you enter a
- learning crunch mode. You do not afford to miss anything and try to read every book you could
- get your hands on. You listen to every single podcast your smartphone could download and take
- every online course your paycheck would allow to take.
- All in all, you learn. As much as possible. As intense as you manage to. You learn how to
- write and publish a new book. You learn how to launch a successful blog. You learn how to hit
- your goal on Kickstarter. You learn how to build the next “unicorn”. You learn how to land a job
- of your dream. You learn how to successfully sell thousands of items on Amazon. You learn how
- to make millions of dollars in passive income.
- However, the problem is that you do everything except taking action. All those activities do
- not take you closer to the things you want to accomplish. Better knowledge does not make you
- more influential, powerful, and successful unless you apply it. The key secret to success is not
- ________ expertise, but the ability to use it.
- Knowledge is worthless unless it is applied. Needless to say that studying is crucial.
- However, the thing is that it should take the entirely new form now. You should stop learning
- from someone else’s experiences, knowledge, failures, and wins and start learning from your
- own mistakes, adventures, ___________, and bold actions.
- Learning has become a major trend of the 21st century. Sadly, it has also become a new
- form of procrastination. You consciously postpone the first step justifying this by your eagerness
- to broaden the knowledge and learn new things. You put the start date off justifying this by
- your desire to pick up new skills that would help you succeed faster. You procrastinate over
- chasing your own aspirations because doing the things on your own and creating your own story
- of success is far more complicated than reading about someone else’s one. Meanwhile, no one
- would really reproach you for wasting your time. Also, you feel comfortable about staying within
- this zone of ease and convenience forever.
- However, the point is that you already have and know everything you need to start off. In
- fact, there is nothing more you need to learn in order to take the first step. Embrace the truth.
- No matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, you will face a lot of obstacles while
- applying it. You will have to deal with issues that have never been described or covered in any
- book. You will have to look for the solutions and make the spontaneous decisions that no one
- probably has ever thought of. You will have to design your own road to success.
- Transform your learning process from the continuous the procrastination into an
- unstoppable process of absorbing invaluable expertise based on your own experience. It might
- seem counterintuitive, but the old-fashioned way of learning is what holds you back. This is
- what makes your triumphs suck.
- Constant learning, evaluating of ideas, thinking, and visualizing your journey towards your
- major aspirations will not take you far from the place you are now. Actions will. You can sit and
- research, and research, and research, while someone else is already reaping huge rewards for
- his or her fruitful and hard work. Stop learning now. Become bold enough to take the first step
- and start learning from your own experience.

Brazil corruption scandals: All you need to know
For the past three years, Brazil has been gripped by a scandal which started with a state-owned oil company and grew to encapsulate people at the very top of business - and even presidents.
On the face of it, it is a straightforward corruption scandal - albeit one involving millions of dollars in kickbacks and more than 80 politicians and members of the business elite.
But as the tentacles of the investigation dubbed Operation Car Wash fanned out, other scandals emerged.
It has led to some of those who have found themselves accused claiming they are the victims of political plots, designed to bar them from office.
What is Operation Car Wash?
Operation Car Wash began in March 2014 as an investigation into allegations that Brazil's biggest construction firms overcharged state-oil company Petrobras for building contracts.
Investigators accused directors at the firm - named the world's most ethical oil and gas company in 2008 - of skimming the extra money off the top as a bribe for awarding the contract.
Which is bad enough - but then the Workers' Party found itself dragged into the corruption scandal amid allegations of having funneled some of these funds to pay off politicians and buy their votes and help with political campaigns.
Among those accused in the scandal were dozens of politicians, and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva - the country's extremely popular former president, known affectionately as "Lula".
The words: themselves (line 07); bar (line 08); former (line 18) and affectionately (line 18) are, respectively:
