Knowledge Can
Make You Rich
But Only If
You Are Intelligent Enough To Apply It;
And Even
Then, Only If You Are Motivated To Use Your Intelligence.
But you must first understand and
acknowledge what knowledge actually is. According to Wikipedia:
“Knowledge
is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something,
such as facts,
information,
descriptions,
or skills,
which is acquired through experience
or education
by perceiving,
discovering,
or learning.
Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a
subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or
explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can
be more or less formal or systematic.[1]
In philosophy,
the study of knowledge is called epistemology;
the philosopher Plato
famously defined knowledge as "justified
true belief", though "well-justified
true belief" is more complete as it accounts for the Gettier
problems. However, several definitions of
knowledge and theories to explain it exist.
Knowledge acquisition involves complex
cognitive
processes: perception,
communication,
and reasoning;
while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of
acknowledgment in human beings.[2]”
Intelligence
(as this term is used in describing intellectual processes and
processing, and as it is distinctly differentiated from “knowledge”),
while its precise definition is the subject of much spirited debate,
has to do with the ability to utilize knowledge to solve a problem or
achieve an objective. If your intelligence is not utilized, it may
well be the most costly mistake of your life. If it [intelligence] is
applied to an increasing body of acquired knowledge, you can truly
become as rich or as successful as you please.
Motivation
is the drive to use this ability called “intelligence” in order
to solve a problem, or in order to achieve an objective.
To put the whole picture together in
the form of a rudimentary equation:
KNOWLEDGE
+ INTELLIGENCE + MOTIVATION = SUCCESS
Take
a quick break from following the U.S. Mid-Term Elections (this post
is dated November 2nd
2014) and please have a look at these free

We've scraped the web for the best news and commentary from the most
reliable and authoritative sources available (wire services,
newspapers, magazines, scholarly works, blogs and social media), and
compiled it for you to either skim rapidly or to read in detail at
your leisure. Be the smartest, best-informed person in any room or in
attendance at any meeting [then again, don't act overly cocky or
you're liable to incur the wrath of your colleagues, business
associates and friends – Remember: nobody likes a smart***].
Average is typical.
Intelligent and informed are exceptional.
Which would you prefer to be? Do you resent rhetorical questions?
Anyway, the underlined words and titles are hyperlinked for your
clicking pleasure:

A new issue of Braintenance
Express is out!
Strengthen
your memory and increase your intelligence [cognition], creativity,
imagination, vocabulary and computational skills. Train, strain,
maintain and strengthen your brain with Braintenance
news, games, puzzles and fascinating facts.
Read
the most current news, commentary, analysis, trend reports and other
interesting and useful information about crowdfunding trends, deals,
platforms and people. You'll also pick up useful tools, tips and
tricks to make your crowdfunding campaign more successful.
Need
I say more? While this looks like brazen, shameless self-promotion
[and I'm not saying that it isn't], the information in this
e-newspaper relates to various crucial aspects of entrepreneurial
projects as well as small- to medium-sized businesses. The
information varies from day to day, but it covers the fields of
finance, management, marketing, accounting, regulation, best
practices, technology and trends, in both the B2B and B2C
environments. But then I've already said too much...
Great
news, commentary and trend reports about industrial intelligence,
executive protection, data security, workplace safety and a host of
other intriguing things happening behind the scenes in business.
This
is possibly the country's best compilation of news, commentary and
trends [possibly a slight exaggeration] about industry, product and
technological disruption and disruptors, covering new births as well
as extinctions, both at present [in real-time] and as projected.
Disruption and displacement will be the death knell for some
products, companies, industries and investments, but will present
profitable arbitrage opportunities for those who are in the know and
act on these insights.
