It is argued that Knowledge is power –which is true in all forms of life because those in position of power (financial, political and social ) have a lot of knowledge or at least surround themselves with very smart people. In reality, however, a normal human being can never acquire knowledge in all fields hence the need to know where your talent lies and develop it through continuous improvement / education (also improve on your weaknesses ).
According to Jeff Hester :
Some of what you think that you know is fine. But some isn’t. Here’s the rub. You don’t know which is which!
The world will tell you when the tidal wave is coming.
It will also tell you where to look for the next big idea.
But you have to know how to listen.
Complacency: Many people fail because they feel that they know everything. We see that daily in the Crypto space ie especially unknowledgeable people making daily videos in YouTube claiming to predict the market. In reality, there is nothing like efficient market because if markets were to be efficient, they will keep it to themselves and make millions daily. Moreover, you too can be knowledgeable in the crypto space through experience and learning what works for the successful people-which is mainly, target undervalued tokens/ coins and move in long term.
Continues improvement: People with knowledge perform better than others because they are expert in a particular field through training and experience. If you want to succeed in the crypto space, try to be patience, learn how to control your emotions, read daily article about the industry, take up a short course on blockchain technology , join crypto communities and learn from successful people. Moreover, do not think that you will just enter a platform like steemit and start making money the same day without being knowledgeable on how things work there.
Put succinctly, try to learn what you don’t know, because knowledge is power!!!

I am a little young girl and have gained a lot of knowledge about the crpyto space here reading your posts and other top steemians posts...with the knowledge gained, I can then gradually start my blogging and crypto investments. 1st learn, and then act..knowledge is indeed power!!!
Thanks a lot for your many comments @ronja1. I am sure that you will be a big success here.
I actually objected to the topic at first looking at it from an academic perspective.
Been academically sound doesn't depict a successful life after school.
On further reading, I would say the "talent" point you brought forth, changed my thought.
Highlighted point like this is what newbie steemians need to constantly put to heart.
I love your post. Probably, you should have used the tag 'Steemiteducation'
Good point indeed. The education part means learning ie contious improvement can come from job training, learning from platforms like steemit etc ...thanks for your comment and steemit education is added.
I've gained a fair amount of knowledge about the crypto world in my time here and I enjoy continuing to learn from others who've been around longer.
I wish i had 10 times as much time to devote to truly learning about and understanding blockchain technology and becoming one of the many who are pioneers in this new and exciting world.
For now my own activities include my time spent on steemit, money invested and diversified among nearly 20 different cryptos, and sharing what I do know with others who are just now delving into the crypto world.
I'm not expert, maybe barely a novice, but I would very much like to change that in the mid and long term as my time permits.
Knowledge definitely is power and thanks for reminding me that my time spent learning and engaging in the crypto community in the past 7 months has been time well spent. Maybe even life changing at some point!
wow, very good comment, I agree. Upped.
You are indeed a smart person in the crypto space through your diversification strategy. I am sure that you will be a big success. Keep steeming to more success and thanks for your comment
If I were to make a nomination for the most destructive belief in our culture, it would be the belief that some people are born smart and others are born dumb. This belief is not only badly off target as a shorthand description of reality, it is the source of many social pathologies and lost opportunities.People misunderstand the past and imagine a dystopian future, not realizing that each generation is smarter than the last.
Well analysed...good point
I feel I know everything, but with that I refer to the Basis of life and it's creation, which is simply based on law of attraction, with that I can explain all around me and my life experience. But I know almost nothing when it's specific knowledge hence numbers or history which I forgot since leaving highshool due to it's boringness being in the past. Knowledge IS power, but what knowledge is worth more than an university degree? I think the greatest knowledge we can gain is about ourselves which I accuire by meditating for example. Great post and resteemed! Have a nice day :-)
Good point, thanks for your comment
Knowledge makes things easier to calculate and plan ahead, but it's no substitute for wisdom (the practical side of things). Knowledge makes things go faster, wisdom makes them practical.
I think the "knowledge is power" paradigm is over. The newer and more practical paradigm is "application of knowledge is power." My thoughts are inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad book written by Robert Kiyosaki. It's a good book on personal finance and its lessons can help us in crypto too.
Thinking that we know enough is the end of our progress. It's dangerous.
Good point indeed. However you have to acquire the knowledge 1st before you apply it isnt it? Great book indeed.
Very useful
Great post @charles1 Thanks for sharing , Knowledge is Power ! sorry still sick and not on to much , glad i checked this out , keep up the great work , upped and resteemed !😀👍✌
Oh dear, you look down...go get some sleep. I wish you a quick recovery and thanks.
Thanks !you too !😊
Good description Knowledge can cover all aspects of life but pretending to be smart does not make us knowledgeable, it can bring us down. i like your writing.👍👍
Good point, thanks
Saya sangat menghormati orang pintar dan cerdas karena bagiku ilmu itu mahal. Saya sangat suka baca buku sehingga saya ingin tau dan banyak tau. Keluargaku sangat mendukung kalau tentang pendidikan, mereka adalah tujuan hidupku yang paling utama setelah cita-citaku tercapai. Aku tak akan berhenti disini, akan aku cari ilmu pengetahuan itu walaupun harus ke ujung dunia. Dalam prinsip keluargaku mengatakan, kejarlah ilmu sampai ke negeri orang.
Good point...more success
if you have element of kniwledge with you ...you can excel in any field in life ...strongly believe that
I am new to this platform, but I think it is not very difficult to give a vote to a paper that is so important nowadays. I agree with the academic opinions that seek to renew and refresh knowledge. And, yes, I believe that knowledge is power.
knowledge is power 👌
why?
why? My long answer goes beyong just the crypto space i would say knowledge is power because knowledge is the root of everything. society has become corrupt in that it profits off of the stupidity of others by never informing them how to catch a fish of their own and just selling them a fish over and over for profit. platforms like steemit allow knowledge to go unfiltered into society and i find it miraculous that the world finally has a platform like this that can go uncensored. this kind of platform opens new doors to understanding and allows true freedom of speech to be embraced. now we can teach society how to catch its own fish instead of hiding useful skills just for a profit. Give knowledge back to the people and we will regain power.
my short answer would just be to reiterate that "Knowledge is power".
i love this post please keep it up sorry if i was a bit laid back on my words but i often mean more than i say, you have a great positive message and i hope to find more like you out there,
cheers
I just had to comment to you. I am also a "stupid American" -- by that I mean I prefer to do things the "old way" where possible. I've worked production lines and construction, and have definite opinions that fall on deaf ears among those holding most of the resources (the business community.) -- I cringe at much -- no, MOST of what is taught in business schools, these days -- ie, go for the repeat sales, create a throw-away consumer base, and price according to what the market will allow.
Result: we have a "wellness" industry that keeps us sick, to keep selling us poisons that treat our symptoms rather than our illnesses; we have appliances and consumer goods imported from overseas, because they are no longer allowed to chain us to our workbenches -- when our toaster oven stops working we are expected to toss it and buy another one -- they leave us no alternative! I remember the "fixit" guy, who could get replacement switches, heating elements, you name it, for just about anything that broke.
If I long for the "good ole days", there's that, and the smell of pickling brine, braided onions and garlic and bunches of tied, dried herbs in the pantry -- even the sour milk smell of making cheese and yogurt if it please!
I hope it won't be lost, when we need it -- and, we WILL need it, believe me!
true that friend! im too young to have known those days but i would love to be in a wolrd where things are built to last rather than just to throw away you said it all spot on thanks for replying i hope we can make a difference and bring some more nature back to society as we progress technologically
Wow, good comment indeed, keep it up.
thanks for spreading good knowledge 🙏

Very interesting publication. Without Mathematics we would not have reached the virtual economy
Greetings from Venezuela
Welcome, good point indeed
Knowledge is power and it is true. But I will add that before we become specialists in any field, we need to want to do something in our life. There is no single man who did not want to become powerful or specialist or engineer etc, without trying to know how it works and trying to be the best.

Point...thanks for your comment

"Formal education will make you a living, self-education will make you a fortune".-Jim Rohn
Most people after graduating from College, already stop educating themselves. They do not even bother to read books and develop skills. The good thing about being on steemit is that we get to learn when we post content, as we study and learn the subject we are trying to write.
Thanks for this post and for reminding us to pursue learning in whatever field we are passionate about. Cheers!
People with knowledge work better because they know that their knowledge is limited and they improved constantly. Only fools are sure completely of their rightness. Thank you, good article.

It's true what you say, that science is one of the tools to know something, with the science of living so directed, with the science of life so easy, with the science of life so guided as the people say "the science is like a man walking in darkness and his hand there lights "that is, thank you for the knowledge, my insight so increase.

Memoriable thing that was think
Knowledge is light, it's clear that even life is all about what you know and what you don't know.

Family is the most important thing in the world. If you do not have a family, consider that you have nothing. Family - this is the most lasting bond of your life. I liked your post
I agree with you that those who have knowledge do better than those that don't have.
