Knowing and Not Doing is the same as Not Knowing

Today’s #motivationmondays is all about taking action.

You know how some people keep bringing new ideas to the table about how we should be doing things?

And then if you ask them to help implement it, they’ll go run the other direction?

“Knowing and not doing is the same as not knowing.” – Robin Sharma

It doesn’t matter how smart you are, how much you read, or how much you know.

If you don’t put it into practice, it will all remain to be just knowledge.

Because no matter how slow you progress, you’ll still be way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

Ever heard about the Ebbinghaus Curve or the Forgetfulness Curve?

It’s when by the end of the day, you only remember less than 40% of what you just learned, unless you apply it immediately.

So whenever you learn something new, if you want to retain the know-how, then try it out immediately, and turn that knowledge into experience.

Remember, you are paid for your experience, more than for your knowledge.

You trainings and credentials are nothing of you have not put them into practice.
