Money is power and knowledge is also power

[crwth]

There are a lot of reasons why both money and knowledge have their power, and to each their own advantages, but there's something that should be considered for both: it's how ethics come into play in terms of their destructiveness. For example, if money is power, it could be used for corruption and exploitation. For knowledge, it can be the same.

Hmm, since I love studying, knowledge is more important to me, and then the money will come after. I do hope that at some point, I could make money from what I know lol.

Knowledge is indeed power. Although not everyone gets the same opportunities, but people with knowledge tend to be more successful in life. We’re not just talking about academically smart, it could also be street smart etc. With their knowledge, they can use it to earn money.

On the other hand, people can just be lucky and be born with a golden spoon. It doesn’t need knowledge if you’re born rich. However, you won’t be able to know and understand how to keep and grow your money if you won’t gain knowledge. That’s why even if they’re already rich and powerful, they’d still want the best school and learnings for their children because that’s what you need to maintain your wealth… If you have the money but not the knowledge, then it won’t take that long till all your money gets exhausted and you’ll end up losing your money too.

If there is knowledge, it can be converted to money through solving problems with the acquired knowledge. But money without knowledge might lead to squandering, misappropriation of funds, unaccountable expenses and poor management of the money. Knowledge is primary, it is like a gate way to achieving the money that seems difficult to find. Those who get born into wealth and also have proper knowledge the excel better due to their life advantage. But for those who build from nothing into having money have a different accuracy for their financial decisions and business growth.

In the world today, money plays a major role in development. Without money someone cannot be developed. On the other hand you can have money but without knowledge your money or wealth is nothing . These two (factors) work together for someone to leave a comfortable and a conducive life . A man who is poor financially and also poor in knowledge is doomed

It cannot be denied, we must have both in order to achieve success, but in my opinion the most important is knowledge because there has been a lot of evidence that not having knowledge can lead to disaster even if they have money, so these two things must go hand in hand between having money and also having knowledge. It sounds very harsh indeed for us to be guided to have both, but that is indeed the reality.

It is true that money is power and knowledge is also power, you need the two to create and mantain wealth, anyone who doesn't have either of the two is doomed to poverty. If you ask me between money and knowledge which is the most important I'll say that it is knowledge because knowledge can create wealth but money alone cannot create wealth.

If a poor person who doesn't have knowledge wins millions of dollars in lottery within a few years he will missus everything and become poor again. But if somebody who has knowledge is given small money they will know how to manage and invest the money so that they will continue to be rich. Money can give you power but knowledge will sustain the power

Money is power and knowledge is also power, when you talk of knowledge, what kind of knowledge are you referring to because the word knowledge is very wide which means you may have certain knowledge which I don't have and they knowledge I also have you don't have it, so I will say that I disagree for you to say if you have money and you don't have knowledge you are doomed.

How can someone have money without knowledge, let's keep that aside if you did not inherit any money from your parents and eventually you find yourself rich definitely it's a particular thing that lead you to that money then if you will say I don't have knowledge where did that money comes from.

I stand to be corrected if I didn't understand what you mean but as for me knowledge is very wide and every human being you see in this world have one or two gift that is natural, and if the person make use of it you will gain a lot from it.

[bitgolden]

Money without knowledge of how to utilize it such as investment for reproduction and spending it wisely is like a misdirection of opportunity which befalls on lazy people who don't know it value which is also a vice of when you have knowledge but can not experiment it usefully either for oneself or how it can prefer resolutions to the society in one way or the other.

Both are powerful resources in their own dynamic capacities.
Money is influential in a state of economy where exchange of values is required while Knowledge plays the educative role where you make the right decisions and providing solutions to problems or even even inventing new ideals.

In conclusion, they are both intimidating. 

I would say that knowledge without money is still fine, because there has been people who build themselves a decent life with the knowledge they have. Being smart and successful will bring you money and that's not really impossible to achieve.

But money all by itself, at the hands of a stupid person is only has a countdown until they are poor. You have to have knowledge how to run a business to keep it going. This is why many people who inherit wealth, ends up poorer.

[Sticky Bomb]

But I would not say a billionaire without knowledge, who inherited his riches, is in any way powerless. He could be the biggest idiot on earth and he could still become president just because of his wealthy connections and powerful friends...

An idiot who inherited money is powerful but he has a very high possibility of ending up a poor man without knowledge because he'll not be able to secure the money for a very long time unless he's got someone else with the required knowledge regulating and restricting him.

I know people who really inherited billions in my country but ended up poor because of mismanagement of their inherited fortune. Money is power, but when combined with knowledge, you become even more powerful..

When it comes to friends keeping, a rich idiot may not keep knowledgeable friends of his caliber since he'll be useless to them but only leches who milks him dry. Buh a rich and knowledgeable guy would be very powerful and be able to network with people of like mind and affluence which creates more opportunities for him to expand his wealth and affluence.

If you have money and you end up being nothing due to a lack of knowledge in the 21st century. It means the person is a fool.
Go and look into the biography of most CEO in the 19s, most of them lack knowledge, but they leverage money with someone who has the knowledge to create something innovative for the next few years, which is why we have seed funding now.

Yes, and that is because both have the ability to control, influence, give advantage (or upper hand in every setting), or capability in life, personal circumstances, and society.

I agree with every word you said. Money is a very powerful thing, and anyone who has an excess of money can almost acquire anything in this world, but they can't buy knowledge with that money, which is one of the most important things for one to have, because as you said, if someone has money but no brains or knowledge, they will never be able to use that money in the right way, they wouldn't know how they can increase the wealth they have, because they know nothing about businesses and investments, and how they can start and operate them successfully, they will be totally reliant on others, which is not good because people will always take advantage of those who are naive and less knowledgeable.

This is why people who have money but are naive and have no knowledge usually end up losing whatever they have eventually, because they won't understand anything themselves, and people around them will surely keep taking advantage of them, keep taking or stealing money from them until they are finished, and people will also make plans to steal everything from such people in evil ways because they know the person won't even know what's happening.

[Fiasem20]

I would say that both money and knowledge are forms of power.When you have money you can afford your basic needs without depending on others,isn’t that power?ofcourse it is.Then having knowledge about something gives one the ability to make the right decisions and also the ability to solve problems,it’s quite known that having the ability to make decisions and solve problems due to your knowledge is considered as a form of power.Acquire knowledge and at same time earn some money because these are key factors to earn power in our contemporary society.

Yes, and it's how you used that knowledge to your advantage to make money. Other for example, a hacker or cyber criminals, they have this knowledge but they chooses to be on the other side. Perhaps they could land a better job on the IT industry because they have the talent.

But instead, they bring it on the dark side. No one can blame them though because it could be easy. But if you are a person that is fair and afraid of God because later it might bite you and be caught and throw into jail. That is a life long decision that they might have to regret later.

Acceptable or not money is more powerful than knowledge, nowadays, many people who have higher education have to come from people who have a lot of financial influence, especially in large companies. In my opinion, if you have much money not problem about lack knowledge because with your money you can buy or get service from the people have higher education or have much knowledge. Fully the money can control everything right now and easily for someone has much money to buy law, knowledge and manage every one they want.

You can be CEO at your self company if you have much money and the people with higher knowledge will be your subordinate and we can see how most powerful effect of the money.

Money has its own importance and majority of the people have money and they are not educated and they don't know how to handle this money for their wealth creation. Many people are doing research for the projects but they are doing work for another company and they gave to do hard work for himself if they want to be successful in life . Always you should invest on your brain which is good asset and if you will Invest for long term on that you will be in profit. Money is very very important in life but when you have good mindset you can get debet from the bank or government and you can establish your company and it will give you returns on daily basis or on monthly basis according to work of the company and network of the system.

I agree that both money & knowledge are important & they really work best when they go together. Money can help a person access opportunities like education, healthcare & better living conditions however w/o knowledge or the ability to make wise decisions it is easy to misuse/lose money so for me real progress comes from balancing both, when a person keeps learning while also managing money wisely it becomes easier to build a more stable & comfortable life.

[slapper]

Money power over exactly what? Your rent? Whether you can say no to a job that's killing slowly you? Those are real powers, I guess. But money as a general statement of power - i mean, look around. There are those with tremendous wealth who feel completely powerless. Who are terrified every day of their life. Who can't have one meaningful relationship.

Knowledge is even more complicated if you allow yourself to sit with it long enough. What kind of knowledge? Who validated it? Who had access to it? Formal education, one kind is formal education. But there's knowledge that comes from having to navigate systems that weren't built for you. That knowledge doesn't get certificates.

What actually changes people from all i have seen and read and thought about is not getting one more piece of knowledge or one more unit of money. It's the moment somebody's story inside themselves change. The minute you stop organizing around who you are around what you do not have and begin building from who you actually are right now. That's everything actually.

The poor man that you describe, if his mind is still going, if he's still in conversation, he's still asking questions, he's still here, he's not doomed. He's in process. That's a whole other thing and we don't have a good word for it which is maybe part of the problem.

[Dunamisx]

Money is power and also whe[flash=200,200] and we are knowledgeable in life we are also in power, because we are going to be sorted for, the two are very essential, whereby we can't afford to take one for another, there must be a clear definition I how we can emerge an influence personal in life, this is why they are important for us to have as one cannot be gotten over the other.

You seem to be right in majorly what you said here, one without the other is mostly incomplete that is why it is very important that folks have the both of them... But again if am to make a choice between the two, I definitely would go for knowledge, this is coz with knowledge you can even create and maintain wealth by yourself without any external help..

A man who is poor financially and also poor in knowledge is doomed

Hahaha OP aren't you being too extreme here...Sure the absence of the both might be quite bad but then there is always the possibility of improvement and growth overtime..No one was born as an island if knowledge, they acquired their knowledge and then built on it...

[Rabata]

In today's world, if someone wants to lead a good life, they must have money. Nothing is possible without money. Without money, a person cannot fulfill his needs and he will not be fulfilled in terms of knowledge. If there is money, there is an opportunity to increase knowledge. Those who do not have money are neglected everywhere. If there is knowledge but no money, then he will not be able to use that knowledge properly. But along with money, knowledge is also needed. When there will have both money and knowledge, a person can make a big change. That is why it is necessary to have both. It is not possible to be fulfilled if there is only money or only knowledge.

Everyone can earn money more or less, but not everyone can earn knowledge. Just as money can be earned, so can knowledge. However, you cannot do everything with money, but with knowledge you can do things that money cannot do.
An entrepreneur may have enough money but if he does not have enough knowledge about business then he will not be able to establish the business successfully. But a wise person may have less money but if he has enough knowledge to establish the business then he will be able to compete successfully in business. In other words, success in work depends a lot on knowledge and not on money.
