Is Knowledge Power?

Is Knowledge Power?

Most of us have heard the phrase “knowledge is power” — but we may not fully understand how to translate this into improving our lives in a practical way. When we educate ourselves, we learn new things that we were previously unaware of. This gives us the ability to make better decisions, come up with more evolved and intelligent thoughts, improve the lives of ourselves and those around us, and thus makes us more valuable people overall.

Knowledge = Options = Power

This, in turn, leads to more options. The more valuable of a person you are, the more people will want to be around you, the more they will want to work with you, the more they introduce you to others who need your help or can help you, and the more doors and opportunities open in your life.

This high level of options in life gives you the freedom to choose from many different paths, and so you do not necessarily need anyone or anything to be happy or successful. And that freedom, my friend, is power. Because that freedom allows you to have the power to speak your mind, the power to be who you truly are, the power to not accept second class behavior from anyone, and the power to do whatever makes you happy. That is why knowledge is so important.

I especially like the link you make between knowledge and increased options, Dennis J. Pitocco. Having options means having power - not over others, but power over the direction of your life. While that power will of course always be limited by circumstances, it helps to have a choice.

Dennis, thank you for this very interesting topic and I enjoyed reading everyone’s take on it. When Knowledge stored or absorbed, is applied purposefully, meaningfully and productively, to create a productive outcome or construct a concrete deliverable, in the course of one's life, then it is Power, meaning knowledge applied is Power. Plainly speaking, Knowledge is only Potential Power.

'Knowing" doesn't amount to much if you don't believe.

Yes indeed know is the greatest power even if you aren't knowledgeable, you wouldn't be aware of what going on, so therefore, Yes it's ????????

POWER. The exact definition is to "Have the ability to punish your enemies and to reward your allies".
