It is being said that knowledge is power by so many people, almost everybody believes in this. I could remember putting on that little checkers school shirt with a breast pocket on the left hand side. The small pocket had a school badge sewed on it. On the badge, the logo of our school was drawn on it and around the logo was the inscription: “motto: Knowledge is power” and then the name of my school was written either above the logo or within the logo.
The badge stood as the symbol representing my elementary school traditional spirit and ideals.
Well, you may not have been in a school where this phrase was used as the school’s motto but l believed you might have come across the phrase so many times and the truth remains that many academic institutions have it as their motto that is to say that it is universally accepted that knowledge is power.
But, despite this universal acceptance, a man named Anthony Robbins stood out and said, “Knowledge is not power, knowledge is only potential power. Action is power”. Is he correct? Yes, l agree with him that knowledge is not power, l also agree with him that knowledge is only potential power and potential power is an unrealized ability, an unused ability, an ability existing in a person at rest. It is an ability to be either wasted or used.
As a result of this founding, l have come to a conclusion that acquiring knowledge is not an end, it is a means to an end. As an unused power is a wasted power so is an unused knowledge a wasted knowledge. Is not all about knowing more, is about applying the ones you know. Have you ever heard of this before, ” l don’t know what to do”.
Well, l have heard that from so many people and when ever l heard people say this, l always ask them if they have done what they know. Our problem most times is not not knowing what to do but not applying what we know. Do you know that the more advice you seek, the more confuse you become. Do you also know that within every man there is a universal intelligent. Well, my final advice is apply the things you know more knowledge will come on the process of applying the ones you know. No successful man has the full knowledge of the root to success. Life offers no manual to anyone. If the past archivers know it all before they started, they would have not made errors.
Thomas Edison would have not failed many times.
There would have been no cleaner, assuming the writers know it all.
You have read enough, take action. Action is power.
Knowledge without application is powerless.
