Time has gone when the power of swords ruled the world. In fact, even during that period, the power of the sword alone never ruled, but the knowledge about the enemy, knowledge about its own strength, and the knowledge of the right time to attack always played a crucial role in grabbing the power.
In other words, knowing what to do, at what time, and in what direction are the few parameters that would lead to sure success. Knowing the timings well, knowing our goals well, knowing our strengths and weaknesses well and by shaping them, in the right direction, we can achieve what we aspire to achieve.
Knowledge gives the power to mobilize things in the right direction and so it is said knowledge is power.
If one venture to establish any business, wishes to achieve any goal, he must acquire full knowledge of all things including his own limitations and weaknesses. Knowledge gives one the capacity and capabilities to know the result of his actions, probability of success and failure, the propriety of his venture and so knowledge is said to be a power.

A knowledgeable person possesses immense influence in society. He can lead it, mold it in a positive direction and hence keep society away from many social evils.
A Human being is the only creature who can use one’s brain wisely and rationally. It is the magic of knowledge that man walked on the moon, man has been exploring the secrets of solar planets, like mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. Many incurable diseases in the past can be easily cured today.
The progress made by man in the field of surgery, medicine, meteorology, bio-technology, and all fields of science and technologies is because of the power of knowledge.
Is Being Knowledgeable Alone Enough?
No doubt knowledge has immense power yet we could say without perseverance and dedication, knowledge alone can’t do. Knowledge can be acquired through reading, listening, and regular practice through experience. Every superbrain, every super personality should use his wisdom for acquiring it and hence using it in the right direction.
The mysteries and secrets of the Universe have always left scientists baffled and intrigued since time immemorial. It was the incessant quest to know more, the invention of the telescope, spacecraft took place, and see the gradual acquiring of knowledge have made it possible for a man to explore planets like Mars, Moon, Saturn.
Today the USA is the only superpower in the world because of the knowledge it had acquired and therefore using that knowledge it had acquired for advancement. Knowledge undisputedly gives power and strength, but it alone can’t make one mighty. Using your knowledge in the right direction with an indomitable spirit and extreme devotion makes one the most powerful.
Knowledge can be acquired, enhanced through reading. Reading is the key to learning more. Napoleon once remarked, “Show me a family of readers and I will show you the people who move the world.”
All learned, successful and powerful men and women have been great readers. Again through our readings, we can get to know the lives of great and successful people, the problems they faced, and the means to overcome them. Often biographies of learned people give us a clue as to how we should solve our problems.
In times of adversity, danger, and misfortune a knowledgeable person proves to be resourceful. One has to overcome problems with the use of his knowledge. No knowledge is better than knowledge to self.
Knowing and understanding oneself means, mastering one’s own passions and controlling one’s traits and faculties. Thus, knowledge gives one immense power, so rightly said, ‘Knowledge is Power”.
