NINETEEN
THE AVERAGEbusinessperson today is reading thousands
of words of e-mails, reports, news stories, business informa-
tion, magazine articles, and other data. To be successful
today, you have to keep current with your reading require-
ments. We live in a knowledge-based society, and one key
piece of information can have an immediate effect on your
work and your decision making.
Take some time to be selective about what you read.
The best time saver in the world of reading and keeping
current is the Delete button on your keyboard. Use it early
and use it often. Resist the temptation to spend time read-
ing things that are not of immediate value or relevance to
your life and work.
