| What you don't know is more powerful than you |
A popular adage says "knowledge is power", and in reality knowledge is
power indeed .One of the indisputable factors that land people in
failure in life is lack of knowledge or information. Lack of knowledge
can be referred to as ignorance. Knowledge connotes light through which
we can see in the dark wilderness of this world. A
person in darkness is bound to be stagnant, and if he makes any attempt to walk, his chances of stumbling is very high. Knowledge symbolizes the path that leads to the destination in our minds.

The dreams we have in our faculty of imaginations are the cities or the
destinations we want to reach. To get to any desired destination
successfully, it is imperative that one has the road map that lead to
the destination.
Just as every city has a road that lead to it, so is it that every idea,
wish or goal has principles, methods or strategies that govern how to
transform them into reality. Many people have fantastic ideas, but they
lack the basic knowledge of how to transform them into reality. Anyone
who must succeed in anything must be ready to pay the price to acquire
the necessary knowledge on how to make his desire happen. Successful
persons in all field are always known to be very intelligent, and
possess high level of knowledge about their field, no wonder they often
end up being consultant to the newbie.
One common mistake often made by people is that they play down on the need to acquire the basic how to( knowledge), that relate to the goal they want to achieve, but go ahead to make a trial, the result in most cases is failure. Nothing is bad about making errors, but errors are only allowed if you are the first person to embark on what you are about doing, but if it has been done before by someone else, all you need to do is to model the person's strategy. The process of finding out such strategy is what I call information/ knowledge acquisition.
Bishop David Oyedepo, the general oversea of winners chapel, one of the
churches with the largest congregation in Africa, once said, “I will
never get into anything I am not averagely informed about.” He wrote in
one of his books, ''exploiting the secret of success" that he spent two
years, learning the secrets of success in ministry before he started his
ministry, No wonder why he became highly successful in his ministry.
To succeed in anything, try to
master the basic information of how to go about it, this is one of the
ways to avert failure. There are experts and people who have
successfully done what you are about to start, and have written books on
how they become successful. It is important to read these books so as
to have the needed light and road map through which you can reach your
destination.
However, it is important to know that it is not enough to have the
knowledge, or information you need to accomplish your goal, you must be
willing to apply them.
Knowledge is nothing but a potential power, it will accomplish nothing without application. The real power lies in the application of the acquired knowledge.
Therefore to excel in life, you must be willing to learn everything you need to learn in order to achieve your goals, and you must be willing to act on or apply the information you have gathered. This is one of the secrets of highly successful people.
