ability to win over all other physical power in the world. Knowledge plays great role in all
aspects of the life by let us know the easy and effective ways to solve the situations. Knowledge
is a very powerful factor which helps us to get success and position in the life. It can be said
that money and physical strength are also important tools of power; however, both are not so
powerful like knowledge. Money and physical strength cannot buy or steal the knowledge; it
can only be achieved by the continuous practice, devotion, and patience.
Knowledge helps us to convert our planning into the right action and enables to get the
difference between right or wrong and good or bad. It helps us to overcome our weaknesses
and faults as well as makes us able to face the dangers and difficulties by giving lots of courage
and confidence. It makes a person more powerful by giving him mental, moral and spiritual
