Knowledge is NOT power, Applied Knowledge IS power​

You could have all the knowledge in the world, but if you never apply that knowledge it is worthless. Now lets say you had 1% of the knowledge of the world, and you applied it every day. . .Well lets just say your going places.

Knowledge comes to you the more you work in a particular field/area. So, if you want to create a successful blog then you have to start one and learn more about what it takes to have a successful blog by analyzing other successful blogs and copying and improving upon what they've done. My recipe for success is. Your percentages might be different but I think these are the three core things that it takes to be successful:

80% - Hard work (Knowledge comes from this)
10% - Creativity (Some people have it, some don't)
10% - Luck (Sometimes you just get lucky but being prepared helps you take advantage of this luck.)

You make a very valid point Bateati. We have been drilled in school that knowledge is power for years. I have learned that a lot of things taught in school is misinforming, and meant to get you to be much like worker ant.(Do what you are told and don't question it) I have also met many knowledgeable people that have no initiative put any of their knowledge to work. They just work normal jobs, living paycheck to paycheck. Thanks for posting a great topic.

Just KNOWING about something is not where the power comes.

It's DOING SOMETHING w/the knowledge that brings the power.

(but you've gotta have the knowledge part to be able to do something w/it)

I make more money by knowing more about the area I invest in than other people. Knowledge most certainly is power. I love it when people are like how the heck did you do that, how did you get a house in their?

Of course it needs to be backed up with action.
