22 Knowing Is Not Doing

I have learnt that in life, knowing better is not doing better. It is simply knowing better because doing better requires more than just knowing. It involves, introspection, reflection, responsibility, action, commitment, and perseverance in order to transform knowing into doing.

    Mere knowledge does not ensure good execution.The latter requires more qualities as you have rightly expressed.A short but powerful statemment

    This is so very true...so often we think it is just the knowing that gets us places. Without the implication of that knowledge, it's just taking up space in our heads!

    God bless and have a fantastic weekend!

    Hi DSB:)

    There is profound wisdom contained in your words.

    This reminds me of a saying in Tamil---A BEAUTIFUL APPLE DRAWN ON PAPER IS NOT FIT TO EAT. We read so many things but don't have the will power to execute our knowledge. We can acquire so many degrees in various fields of knowledge but we will not become rich and famous like Maria Sharapova who has no education but earns in the range of $26 million a year. We cannot become a Michael Jackson because we are more interested in talking than doing. It is the doing that gets us the results.

    I can add some more words to your list such as will power, determination, perseverance, foregoing present gratification for future success,sacrifice, sweat and tears and so on.

    I can tell you of an Indian example. Dirubhai Amabani, an illiterate man, built a world class business empire and employed people with high qualifications to run his business successfully.

    I know your intention. You want us to shed our lethargy and get moving to translate our dreams into realities.

    Lovely thought from a brilliant brain.

    Have a wonderful day DSB:)
    Joseph

    Beautifully put. I completely agree. Just look at ourselves. Most of us know our values. But do we practice it diligently - even when no one is looking ?

    cheers

    Yes it is.. Knowing (sometimes) is hard to transform or put it into action.. And if we leave the things we learnt undone, it remains to be just "KNOWING".. Stay blessed.. And thank you for the wonderful, inspiring emails and for visiting my Space.. Have a great week!!

    j2Ms.FAB, When we run from responsibility too whom do we run? Ignorance is bliss. Or, is it?j

    Well, it all depends, but sometimes it’s better not to know. Knowing is a whole lot of responsibility.

    Wow! How very true this is. Far too often, the knowing is there, without the doing. That’s putting the knowing into action.
