It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed toward a definite end." - Napoleon Hill, author, in Think and Grow Rich What knowledge do you need to acquire to help you reach your goals? Action Step Recognize that knowledge by itself isn’t power. Focus on gaining knowledge with a purpose, and don’t stop until the purpose is reached. Once you combine your knowledge with action, it turns into wisdom.
