Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. John Locke (1689) in his Essay: Concerning Human Understanding, describes Knowledge as the perception of the agreement or disagreement of two ideas. In other words, knowledge breeds answer and solution in an atmosphere of confusion and disparity.
Knowledge flows from a fluid mix of framed experience, contextual information, values and expert insight." This includes a number of things that we have within us, such as experiences, beliefs, values, how we feel, motivation, and information.
It is regarded as power because it shapes the way one thinks and acts. Also, it provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. According to Peter F. Drucker in The New Realities "Knowledge is information that changes something or somebody — either by becoming grounds for actions, or by making an individual (or an institution) capable of different or more effective action."
