Knowledge does not always come by force. Knowledge is the state of being aware of, understanding, and learning about specific information obtained from experience or research. This means that individuals have the resources to dynamically express their views and make intelligent decisions based on everyday situations, perceptions and understandings. Knowledge is powerful because it allows a person to direct his life in the right direction. Knowledge can be both creative and destructive to our society. Only through knowledge can we distinguish right from wrong and make informed decisions. It will also help you plan for the future and set yourself on the path to success. The more knowledge you have, the more you can overcome your weaknesses and gain confidence. It encourages a positive attitude to life and motivates you to survive and thrive in the real world. The ability to acquire, preserve and pass on knowledge makes a person powerful. This allows him to control the forces of nature and use them for his own benefit. The power of this knowledge, if used wisely, can bring happiness to mankind. Knowledge leads to wisdom, respect, and hence power.
