“An ounce of doing things is worth a pound of theorizing” Wallace Wattles

“There is little you can learn from doing nothing” Zig Ziglar

Ben Franklin said that “an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” Knowledge makes learning easier by sharpening our ability to solve problems and make well informed decisions. Knowledge is unquestionably important, but learning about something is often easier than actually doing it. While acquiring knowledge requires mental effort in gathering and organizing information, doing something is more challenging because it requires the active steps of 1. generating an idea, 2. making a plan and then actually 3. implementing the plan. Knowledge without action is impotent, because results come from doing not from knowing.

The physicist, Michio Kaku said “the yeoman work in any science is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest.” You have to implement the things you’ve learned for them to be useful to you and to others. As Napoleon Hill said, “action is the real measure of intelligence.”

Doing breathes life into knowledge
Doing turns goals into reality
Doing makes things happen

Success is based on behavior. Doing beats knowing because what you do is more important and has a bigger impact on the world than simply what you know. Onward & upward.
