Knowledge junkies are people who love to learn and accrue knowldge. They’ve read all the books, registered to all the web communities, heard of all the big names, and listened to countless talks. They are hungry for more knowledge in a certain area, and they can’t learn enough about a topic. “What’s the correct way to do this?”, ” Who originally thought of that?” or “I want to know that!” - you get the picture.
But that doesn’t translate into action.
While it’s good to prepare as much as you can before you take something on, you’re never going to know all the facts before you do something. So be a knowledge junkie - learn as much as you can about everything that you are interested in; yet use that knowledge - take the leap and create!
