The Combination of "Knowledge" and "Action" Produces "Power"

"Success…seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit." - Conrad Hilton

Heaven Hi Be Boppers,

Yes, Paris Hilton is following her Grand fathers advice. Paris seems to be connected to action.

Throughout history, the power to control our lives has taken many different and contradictory forms. In the earliest times, power was simply the result of physiology. He who was the strongest and the fastest had power to direct his own life as well as the lives of those around him.

As civilization developed, power resulted from heritage. The king, surrounding himself with the symbols of his realm, ruled with unmistakable authority. Others could derive power by their association with him.

Then, in the early days of the Industrial Age, capital was power. Those who had access to it dominated the industrial process.

All those things still play a role. It’s better to have capital than not to have it. It’s better to have physical strength than to not. However, today, one of the largest sources of power is derived from specialized knowledge.

The exciting thing to note is that the key to power today is available to us all. Any kid in blue jeans can create a corporation that can change the world. In the modern world, information is the commodity of kings. Those with access to certain forms of specialized knowledge can transform themselves and, in many ways, our entire world.

However, the truth is that even in the information age, information is not enough. If all we needed were ideas and positive thinking, then we all would have had ponies when we were kids and we would all be living our "dream life" now.

Action is what unites every great success. Action is what produces results. Knowledge is only potential power until it comes into the hands of someone who knows how to get himself to take effective action. In fact, the literal definition of the word "power" is "the ability to act."

Every communication we make is an action, a cause set in motion. And all communications have some kind of effect on us and on others.

How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life — it is your interpretation of what is happening. Successful people’s lives have shown us over and over again that the quality of our lives is determined not by what happens to us, but rather by what we do about what happens.

Start today The Law Of Action and watch your self perception improve . Now is the time to ACT!
