We all have POWER in the sense that you can control your own actions and how people react to you. The way you carry yourself on a day to day basis has significant INFLUENCE on the people you surround yourself with. If you are always late to work; then you have influenced the people around you to believe that you are unreliable. The other side to this is not as simple as just being the person who is always on time. True POWER and INFLUENCE comes from being the one who stays and shows that the job is done correctly. POWER and INFLUENCE is the channeled by the person who admits their mistakes and corrects them without having to be reminded.

What Do You Want Out of Life?

What do you want out of life. Me; I want to leave the world better than it now before it's my time to leave. I want to make major changes in my lifestyle and the lifestyles of those in under-developed and under-represented communities. This is no easy task. To make significant change requires not only skill, but the unflinching desire and dedication to your goals. So many people don't have, and so many have just enough to get by. What does it take to put yourself in a position where you don't have to worry; period. Worrying about bills, health, jobs, etc. puts a strain on your progress and to an extent limits your ability to succeed. But in most cases we can do nothing about this because we all have bills and obligations. FOCUS! Focus is the most important attribute to attaining your success. Even with knowing what hardships you may have, you need to use that energy to increase your focus on what your goals are. This is where you will find the source of your POWER.

KNOWLEDGE
We approach knowledge from an adjective standpoint; the creating, involving, using, or disseminating special knowledge or information. When you break things down to their smallest and most basic form, you are left with many pieces. Though it might seem daunting at first, if you examine the individual pieces, you will have a better understanding of the whole. Now you have the knowledge to put it back together. Knowledge Is Power.

POWER
Social science
• Power (philosophy), the ability to control one's environment or other entities
• Political power, power over the administration of public resources
• Power in international relations
• Economic power
• Power (communication)

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Meaning #1: If you have knowledge, then you will have power. The idea here is that the acquisition of knowledge results in social power. The one "in the know" holds a certain power over those who do not. The knower is a go-to-guy. This is the usual meaning at commencement addresses: "hey, don't worry that you have all this debt and will never make as much as your friends, because you have power on account of your knowledge."

Meaning #2: If you have power, then you will have knowledge. This is the opposite of the above meaning. Although the former is more traditional and therefore quite common, this meaning is gaining significance in our contemporary world. The basic idea here is that knowledge is really just power in disguise. Another phrase illustrates this: "the winners write the history." In other words, those who exert power have the influence to promulgate their view of what has happened and therefore generate knowledge. The social critic is the one who is able to unmask the power dynamics behind so-called knowledge. This need not be a cynical view: if you want to be a part of the spread of knowledge, put yourself in a center of great influence.
