Many of us are continually in pursuit of valuable pieces of knowledge that could aid us in comprehending reality better and elevating our lives, even if only slightly. Nevertheless, tremendous ideas are not just found in ancient books tucked away in dark corners of libraries.
You can also encounter influential ideas on social media; you just have to know whom to follow. For example, recently, writer Gurwinder Bhogal, also known as @G_S_Bhogal, became extremely popular after he posted 10 of the most helpful concepts he grasped during the previous year, which helped him better understand the world.
"I selected the concepts based on what I found most memorable, as this seemed to be a good indicator of notability," he says. "There were many others that were close to making the top 10, such as Audience Capture, Twyman's Law, and the Paradox of Unanimity."
"Writing is as much about teaching myself as it is about teaching others. It's not just that I learn while researching topics to write about; the very act of expressing myself in words teaches me things about myself that I didn't know. Therefore, I see writing as a form of personal growth."
Take a look at these interesting and undeniably true concepts:

It can be very easy for one's voice to be drowned out by the commotion on social media. We were eager to hear Gurwinder's thoughts on how authors can distinguish themselves on Twitter and Substack, as well as what motivates him to continue writing and instructing others.
"Write what you most want to write about rather than what you think other people want to read. This is because, if you're passionate about something, you can make even the most boring subject interesting. However, if you're chasing popular trends, you'll be doing the same thing as millions of other writers while struggling to maintain the interest needed to consistently create compelling content," he explained. Writers ought to be honest with themselves and ignore the crowd. Do what you're passionate about, not what you hope will make you popular.Here is what people had to say about these concepts:

The modern world is incredibly complex and interconnected, making it difficult for an individual to know where to turn for accurate information. With the prevalence of fake news and misinformation, it is important to carefully vet sources before trusting them.
It is essential to consider the qualifications of the source, the reputation of the source, and the evidence provided to support the claims made. Additionally, it is important to examine the sources of the source—where did they obtain their information?
This can help ensure that the information being presented is accurate and reliable. Ultimately, it is crucial to be a critical thinker and to be aware of our own biases when it comes to selecting sources to trust.
