Big Lie #1 - Knowledge is Power!
In 1597, at the dawn of the age of scientific realism, Francis Bacon wrote "Knowledge is power".It sounds good, but it is an incomplete truth.Education, knowledge and understanding does empower by enhancing potential; but it is the application of knowledge that produces results.It is not enough to know how things work; it is necessary to put that knowledge to work.
The circumstances of our lives are not changed by our knowledge, but by the use we make of it.If I have an engineering degree and, in my travels come to a river, knowing how to build a bridge will not get me across the river. I will need to actually build the bridge to get to the other side.You can study the science of success for your whole life, but if you do not put into practice what you know, you will not create any measurable success.It is true that the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake can be intellectually rewarding;
but knowledge only becomes valuable when we make use of it for some practical purpose.This website exists to empower you. We can provide the knowledge. Only you can make the application.
