1. Be educated in multiple fields

Explanation :

Education is undoubtedly very important.  However, let us not mistaken education with formal education that colleges and universities provide.  Acquiring knowledge goes far beyond what institutions have to offer and extends to learning new things on your own.  Whether you are a doctor or a mechanic, it is good to learn things beyond your field.  Being knowledgeable in only one field is ignorance.  No doubt, you should excel in your field, but one should strive to be well rounded in 2, 3 or more other fields.

Too many people talk about things that they know nothing about.  Too often, people make assumptions and treat them as facts.  The worst thing anyone can do is make a judgment about something that they know little about.
