One of the easiest, quickest ways to help other people is to share knowledge with those you know – especially knowledge that you know they will find valuable. And these days, with all the knowledge resources on the internet, sharing knowledge has never been easier and quicker. It is now sometimes possible to share extensive amounts of high quality knowledge by doing no more than emailing someone a link.
Ofcourse, you might ask: “Why don’t they do a google search for themselves?” and indeed people can. But an experienced individual in a relevant field can help a great deal by separating the wheat from the chaff, by separating the high-quality knowledge from the low quality knowledge in addition to referring people to reputable service providers who won’t rip them off.
Furthermore, some skills are best demonstrated by others in person. Even though You Tube videos and online courses can be very instructive, having someone available, with expertise, to both offer instructions with specific problems and to make people, who are interested in developing a new skill, aware of important safety, and regulatory, issues can be invaluable resource when it comes to developing new skills and expertise.
A robust culture of knowledge-sharing, skill sharing and mutual support is guaranteed to increase the effectiveness and quality of life of all the members of the community.
