Misinterpret about knowledge as a "power"

Everywhere I go people always say that, "Knowledge is power". For me not really. Knowledge is just an information. I will agree if they tell me that knowledge is a potential power and it become power only when it acted upon.

What is the difference between a person who cannot read and a person who can but does not read? Nothing difference. Both of them are categorized as "don't know people". Learning is like eating food. It is not how you eat, what count is how much you digest. 

Knowledge - if it is given to fool people, nothing will happen. Only wisdom man know how to use and manipulate it. Knowledge is potential power, wisdom is real power. Education takes many forms, it is not just grades and a degree. It is:

• cultivate your strength
• learning self-discipline
• listening
• desiring to learn

Our mind is like muscles, stretch or shrink depending on how little we exercise them. And how often we use it. The knife if kept in the drawer is not sharp as the knife which is used always.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance _ DEREK BOK
