The Value of Knowledge
By Betty Ann Wilkins © 2000


For centuries it has been said that knowledge is power.
Is this really true? I do not believe so.

Let me start by saying that knowledge is a necessity and
can be extremely valuable, but it is not power. Having
knowledge merely gives you the power to make good decisions
and there by act on those decisions.

Ah, the real power is in ACTION.

Let me give you an example. If you are sitting on some
railroad tracks and a train is coming your way, it is not
enough to know that you should move off the tracks. You
have to get off the tracks. You must take action. You
see, without action, knowledge is worthless.

It doesn't matter what knowledge you acquire or how much
of it you gain on a particular subject, it is useless
until you take action. Think about it! Will reading
and learning everything there is to know about being a
glamorous movie star make you one? Of course not.

I am not saying that you should not learn new things.
It is imperative to have knowledge in order to be able to
take action. Nowadays, you need a college degree just to
get an entry level job but it in no way gets you any
type of promotion or better paying job. Through experience,
showing that you can take what you have learned and put it
into practice is what gets you a promotion or raise.

Many highly educated people are working in menial jobs,
while we have millionaires that don't even have a high school
diploma. How can this be? Very simply, even though they
did not excel in academics, they did excel at taking action,
trying new things, experimenting, learning through experience.

How does all this apply to you? If you truly want to succeed,
you must first acquire a bit of knowledge, but most importantly
you must take what you know and act on it.

Eagerly and ambitiously act on what you have learned and
you will succeed.
