“If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” – Mark Twain
This quote by Mark Twain highlights the importance of being informed, but also the potential dangers of relying solely on one source of information. It serves as a reminder that in order to truly be informed, we must be diligent in our research and strive to gather information from a variety of sources.
After Ryan Metzler of Finlocity gave us notice of this quote and some insights on research, focus, and execution, we wanted to reflect and turn this into an article in his honor!

In today’s world, where information is readily available at our fingertips, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information that is available to us. It can be tempting to quickly skim through headlines and articles, without taking the time to truly understand the information that is being presented to us. However, this approach can lead to a lack of understanding and the potential to be misinformed.
To avoid this, it is important to take the time to do your research. This means not only reading the news but also fact-checking information and seeking out multiple perspectives on a given topic. It also means being mindful of the sources that you are reading and considering the potential biases that may be present.
In addition to being diligent in your research, it is important to execute each task with all your focus. This means being present at the moment and fully engaging with the task at hand. This is particularly important when it comes to reading and understanding the news, as it is easy to become distracted and miss important information.
In short, being informed is important, but it is also important to be careful about the sources of information we use. We should strive to gather information from a variety of sources, fact-check information, and be mindful of potential biases. By executing each task with all our focus and being diligent in our research, we can ensure that we are truly informed.
