“Knowledge is power”, if we want to trace this sentence back, I really don’t know where to start. Now when we talk about this sentence again, it will inevitably lead to a burst of laughter. Please don't blame us for being "superficial". After all, today's young people don't bother to repeat a slogan like a slogan, because it no longer reflects any of its value.

Please allow me to be bold. I am by no means belittling the meaning of this sentence. On the contrary, what I want to do is to explore its value. We need to admit that when this sentence is called upon mechanically again and again, its surface becomes old and empty. We don’t need slogans, and we don’t want to say an inspirational word out of inertia. Otherwise, people who learn knowledge will continue to learn knowledge as always, no matter what their purpose is; and people who ignore knowledge will continue to be ignorant as always, regardless of whether they understand that they have lost a lot. What’s the point of this!

What we are pursuing is a kind of reality. If something can be deeply embedded in our hearts, there is no need to talk about it over and over to remind ourselves. However, what knowledge means today, whether it still maintains its charm, and what kind of impact and shock it brings can only be answered slowly by bits and pieces of life.

While listening to the radio in the morning, there was such a message. World champion Deng Yaping is accepting an invitation from the University of Cambridge and is preparing to study for a doctorate in Cambridge. I can’t help but recall Yaping’s simple and wise look, as well as her fluent and proficient English during the Olympic bid process last year. Inexplicably, relief and respect arose spontaneously, and he seemed to feel inspired, and he straightened his back immediately. I think this is the true overflow of the power of knowledge, and the pursuit of wisdom leads to a fulfilling life.

I asked myself, what exactly is knowledge? If I analyze the words, I roughly define them as two interpretations - "zhi" and "shi", both of which mean understanding and understanding; or "zhi" means understanding, and "shi" means learning. But no matter which explanation it is, there is a process from not knowing to knowing, from not understanding to gradually understanding, and the essence of knowledge is integrated into it. To obtain it, there must be a process, no matter whether the process is long or short, ups and downs or all in one go. Perhaps the result is a series of proud achievements and victories, but the most real and meaningful moments are like experiencing an unforgettable relationship, which will always be intertwined in the process of seeking knowledge. It's like talking about pain. If you don't have the pain of breaking your knee, how can you understand what kind of pain it is. What we see is that knowledge leads us to try and experience the process of pursuit, and to invest ourselves in the journey of thinking. Many things in life must go through such a period of tempering before we can reach the other side of our ideal. Knowledge tells us to learn and feel this kind of life. It has transcended academics. It guides people to learn how to live, and it is a qualitative leap in thinking. This is the power of broad knowledge.

Talk about now, human beings are in the era of knowledge and information network, the world has become more colorful, and social relations have become more and more diversified and complex. Knowledge has multiple meanings. First of all, our knowledge must conform to the development trend of the times. Most of today's businesses tend to be related to the Internet, which has contributed to the formation of e-commerce. Maybe we can ignore it today, but who can guarantee that one day in the future, this will not become an act that will ruin our future. In addition, knowledge also involves various moral issues. Without knowledge, it is difficult for people to form their own thoughts and opinions, and they lack the moral foundation to conduct themselves in the world. What is common is that tradition is followed completely, whether good or bad, and the results are often ignorant and absurd. The feudal family in Ba Jin's "Three Steps to the Torrent" is a representative of this problem in the past, while the isolated mountain villages in backward areas are today's A clear and heavy example. Without knowledge, we have to admit that we are weak. What is even more thought-provoking is that in the rapidly developing market economy, our civilization, quality, and integrity... are facing huge tests and choices, and we are more dependent on knowledge and make more difficult moral judgments. Materialistic desires and glitz have blinded the empty but greedy eyes of many people with poor knowledge. They use their ignorance to pave the road to extreme destruction for themselves. Without knowledge, we blur our ability to judge right from wrong, gradually lose our principles, become obsessed with greed, and the pure land of the soul is swallowed up little by little... The self-confidence brought by knowledge maintains our principles and supports us to face the dazzling things in front of us.

The world is changing every moment. If we stand still at this moment, there is no guarantee that we will be ruthlessly abandoned in the next second. If you want to be a wise person, you must keep seeking knowledge. We need to read and read books to enrich our content and experience, but classrooms and books are only part of the way. Being a thoughtful person in life can learn a lot, because only life can give people the most real and direct feelings.

Without knowledge, there will be no progress and development at all, and we will have no ideas and will live painfully in blindness. The greatest power of knowledge is that we need it.
