I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wish I had known that education is the key. That knowledge is power. Now I pick up books and watch educational shows with my husband. I'm seeing how knowledge can elevate you.
I operate better with education and awareness, like I think all of us do. I don't like to be walking around in a vacuum, lost in my own thoughts. I'm much better with information.
Without the element of enjoyment, it is not worth trying to excel at anything.
I would encourage you: be informed - knowledge is power.
As anyone familiar with my scholarship knows, I am not a huge fan of inherent powers in most contexts.
For me, education was power.
Many people who excel are self-taught.
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Nothing is more gratifying to the mind of man than power or dominion.
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
