Knowledge is power 💪💪

''Knowledge is Power” is a popular phrase. Knowledge provides us with the power to help others, in a variety of ways. It is also something that is good for our own self esteem. In addition, knowledge imbues us with authority and enables us to act and interact with others in a more moral way.

Knowledge can include skills, experience and education. At best, it includes all three! Knowledge can be practical knowledge of the kind used by an engineer or a carpenter, or it can be more abstract knowledge of the kind that a mathematician uses. Knowledge helps us to find the way to solve a variety of issues.

Power refers to the ability or capability to do something. It can also include the strength to influence the actions of others. This can mean physical strength or persuasive power.

Reasons Why Knowledge is Power.

1. Knowledge liberates us.

Knowledge sets us free, and makes us less dependent on others. Freedom is essential for real power. Of course, being truly free means that we do not use our power to control other people against their will.

2. Respect.

True knowledge commands more respect that mere empty authority within a hierarchy ever could. If we have knowledge, we can direct others' decisions and help them to enhance their lives. Having knowledge about a relevant subject imbues us with authority. No matter who we are, or how old we are, if we have knowledge that is useful to other people, then those people will respect us.

3. Self esteem.

Possessing knowledge can really give us a feeling of self fulfillment and confidence. Knowledge is something that - no matter how many trials we come across in our life - we can always fall back on. In addition, if we find ourselves facing a trial in life, knowledge can enable us to find a solution to the issue that boosts our self esteem even further. What could be more of a confidence boost than knowing that we used our own skills and knowledge to surmount one of life's challenges?

4. Positivity.

The process of seeking and finding knowledge teaches us to have a positive attitude about life. It teaches us to be motivated, determined, engaged with the world and self reliant. It also fills us with enthusiasm and joy - after all, humans love learning new things and the process of finding out new facts is a wonderful end in itself.

5. Morality.

When we have knowledge, we can act more morally. Possessed of all the facts and the relevant skills, we can put our desire to help others into practice much better than we could do if we had less knowledge. For example, if we have some money that we wish to donate to charity, knowing facts about how that money could best be used will enable us to help the greatest number of people with it.

Conclusion

There is no denying that there are several convincing arguments for the notion that 'knowledge is power', and it is always best to use our power for good.
