KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. 3rd Edition
“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.”
Knowledge is power.Knowledge empowers a person to control events. A knowledgeable person is able to turn an event, situation, or person in his favor. One’s talent, aptitude, or ability to perform entirely depends upon his level of knowledge, understanding and education. Thus, knowledge is a precondition for success.
What man got from knowledge? Man has placed himself at the top of all living beings and natural objects of the world by means of his great knowledge which he has acquired over the ages. Man has conquered the space above, tamed the sea and scaled the snow-clad mountains. He has dug out the wealth that remained deposited long in the womb of the earth. He makes use of air, water and other elements of nature to run his machines.
Science is a gift of knowledge. Man has ushered in a process to enrich his knowledge that he calls science. Science started its onward march when the primitive man invented the use of fire. Since then science has advanced steadily. It has conquered diseases and made man’s life comfortable. It has given man dazzling material progress. It has made human race living in different parts of the world come to know each other. It has made the world turn into a global village.
Misuse of the power of Knowledge: The fruits of knowledge are not all sweet. The great economic power which knowledge has given created two classes of people – rich and poor. This has brought about exploitation of the poor by the rich. Knowledge has given man another kind of power in the shape of deadly weapons. The two Great Wars of the last century have taught man that the weapons stored in man’s arsenal can turn this beautiful world into a burial ground.

5 Reasons Why Knowledge is Power.
1. Knowledge liberates us.
Knowledge sets us free, and makes us less dependent on others. Freedom is essential for real power. Of course, being truly free means that we do not use our power to control other people against their will.
2. Respect.
True knowledge commands more respect that mere empty authority within a hierarchy ever could. If we have knowledge, we can direct others’ decisions and help them to enhance their lives. Having knowledge about a relevant subject imbues us with authority. No matter who we are, or how old we are, if we have knowledge that is useful to other people, then those people will respect us.
3. Self esteem.
Possessing knowledge can really give us a feeling of self fulfillment and confidence. Knowledge is something that – no matter how many trials we come across in our life – we can always fall back on. In addition, if we find ourselves facing a trial in life, knowledge can enable us to find a solution to the issue that boosts our self esteem even further. What could be more of a confidence boost than knowing that we used our own skills and knowledge to surmount one of life’s challenges?
4. Positivity.
The process of seeking and finding knowledge teaches us to have a positive attitude about life. It teaches us to be motivated, determined, engaged with the world and self reliant. It also fills us with enthusiasm and joy – after all, humans love learning new things and the process of finding out new facts is a wonderful end in itself.
5. Morality.
When we have knowledge, we can act more morally. Possessed of all the facts and the relevant skills, we can put our desire to help others into practice much better than we could do if we had less knowledge. For example, if we have some money that we wish to donate to charity, knowing facts about how that money could best be used will enable us to help the greatest number of people with it.
Conclusion
There is no denying that there are several convincing arguments for the notion that ‘knowledge is power’, and it is always best to use our power for good..
