Why share your knowledge with others??? Why oh why?

May 10, 2011 1 comment

There are three types of people in this world.

Type 1 : These people love to share their knowledge with others because they believe in helping the community. Examples of this kind of people are all around you. eg. People who leave reviews on Yelp, People who answer questions on stackoverflow or other forums. People who reply on tripadvisor etc etc

Type 2:  These people like to hold on to their knowledge out of fear that if they share their knowledge the other person will succeed and race past them leaving them behind in the dirt.

Type 3: These type of people are just plain lazy. They have no malicious intent or insecurity like Type 2 people. The reason why they don’t share their knowledge is because they are simply too lazy or too busy with their lives. This is the majority of people around you.

Internet has made sharing your knowledge so easy. So, I encourage everyone to take some time out from your daily life and share your knowledge with the community.
