Here’s a quote that is particularly insightful and motivating:

''Any fool can know. The point is to understand.''

~ Albert Einstein, physicist and Nobel laureate;

I really love this quote, but I feel it should continue and end as follows:

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand and apply.”

It is often said that knowledge is power, but in reality, knowledge is only potential power.

It is only true power when it is applied in your life or work or business, like the rubber tyre meeting the macadamised road. In engineering terms, it's the delivered horsepower that matters.

Remember, it’s not enough to have knowledge. Any fool can have knowledge. The point is understand and apply the knowledge.

As a matter of fact, I would like to put it this way:

Applying what you know creates ''world'' experience, resulting in valuable feedback as to what works and what doesn't work. Everything else is just information, or ''word'' experience.

Think about it. Are you really applying your knowledge?
