IS KNOWLEDGE POWER?

I frequently hear, "Knowledge is Power."  I strongly disagree!  Knowledge in and of itself is powerless.  Knowledge, when APPLIED,  is POWER!!  As we apply the knowledge we obtain, we experience growth and with that growth gain even more knowledge.  We have all seen the two different states in our lives.  Their are those who have gained knowledge and never apply it.  Then there are those who gain knowledge, apply it, and continue to learn.  We see them as, one individual who has twenty years experience in a field of expertise and the other who has one year of experience twenty times.   LEARN - APPLY- GROW
