“Knowledge is power” is an incomplete statement. What is knowledge without action? One can read all the books in the world, but if nothing is done with the information, there is no power. There are no results.
In a lot of cases, taking action is more powerful. You don’t always need all of the information. You can figure it out as you go in a lot of situations. There’s another phrase, “paralysis by analysis,” which is about being stuck because you feel like you don’t have enough data to make a move.
What’s worse? Doing nothing with all the info, or making a move with less info, making mistakes and learning from them? I know I’ve learned more from taking action, failing, and learning than I have from any book.
