The Limits of Knowledge and the Power of Perspective

Knowledge is a double edged sword. Depending on how it is used, it can protect you, and can prevent you from moving forward. If uncleverly taken, knowledge deters you from exploring something further and doing something creatively. It causes you to stay within the boundaries of reason, often making new ideas and possibilities out of sight, and ambitious goals out of reach.

For many, knowledge may be a shackle itself, and you might want to break away from it. Otherwise, you almost never will give yourself chances to be different or productive by doing something new. Also, the quantity and depth of your knowledge don’t determine how decisive or productive you are. They can be used to some extent, but they are invariably the product of your experiences. Knowledge doesn’t create the experiences you need. Your habits, discipline, and action fueled by your ambition and desire do.

Identifying or creating perspectives to understand how many abstract things influence what many real things we live with is crucial. Yet, so often, people avoid making attempts to do so and ignore values it brings. It may be convenient for them, but it comes with high prices to pay and significant consequences they face throughout their lifetime. Creativity, inventiveness and originality come when you wrestle with perspectives.
