Life will help you possess knowledge,have and open mind, watch people carefully,study, work hard,help others,treat yourself and others with respect, never be afraid to ask questions. No matter what your age there is always time to learn. Knowledge is power. Books are good for learning the basics but listening is your best tool. Your success will depend on your ability to embrace the world. This will give you a big advantage. Good luck! Live, love and laugh, even at yourself.

Power/knowledge two words made into one according to Foucault, one cannot be without the other. How to possess it? there are a lot of ways you decide on how are you going to have it. They say experience is the best teacher...knowledge/power is relative, you may have knowledge if people think so and believes in what you say...what you say may not be true but once it is taken as true by others therefore you got power and you got knowledge over them.

Knowledge can be gained, but not truly possessed unless it is exclusive to a significant extent. There is a high price to gain and retain knowledge. Such price goes way beyond the efforts to study. It is also in the responsibility of its stewardship. Knowledge is power, and with power comes responsibility!

Wow. I hope you are ready to give up your life. I only have the most tiniest fraction of knowledge available on this planet. Even if you were to lock yourself in the world's most comprehensive library, you are unlikely to acquire that much knowledge before your death.
The lust for knowledge is the same as lust for anything else. The desire is endless. Desire knows no bounds.

Juvenal stated, “All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price.”
Are you?

If you are thinking of academic studies, you will continue searching for something that has no end. Search for books which contains pure wisdom, practice what you will know and watch how you develop your intuition!
