Knowledge Isn't Power
"Knowledge isn’t power until it is applied." - Dale Carnegie
When I was younger, I came across the phrase, "Knowledge is Power." I thought that was true at the time and began reading more. Until I came across the Dale Carnegie quote above.
Books contain a lot of knowledge. But a book by itself cannot do anything. It has to be opened, read, and applied for the knowledge to be useful. An unopened book is useless. An open mind that is being used is powerful.
People are the same way. Open up and apply yourself to whatever you want to do in life. Applied knowledge is powerful.
Have a great week.
