The growth and survival of mankind depends upon knowledge.

From the Stone Age till date, man has struggled to know the unknown. He explored land, water and space by virtue of his knowledge. Man has made progress in all fields starting from science, technology to arts etc.

Knowledge must be acquired and shared as a collective effort. Lack of knowledge leads to poverty and absence of economic prosperity. Knowledge should be utilized for the upliftment of the poor masses. It should be used for peace, prosperity and growth.

To gain knowledge you ideally have three factors: an environment where learning is encouraged, an innate curiosity for knowledge (which may be genetic or due to nurture) and access to information. Only then will you end up with a tasty, sweet cake. You must have the substance, the flour that is the facts and figures. Then you have the binding agent, the eggs, and finally the sweetener that makes the cake so moorish. Bake at gas mark life for around 18 years, and hopefully out comes a being with the knowledge and the aptitude to go on wanting more. The knowledge that I already have is something that is treasured above anything tangible. Very few people would regret being forced to add up and subtract. Knowledge is more than an untangible resource...
Knowledge plays an important role in all spheres of human life and activity. It is a powerful factor which helps man to attain success, power and position in life. There is no doubt that physical strength and money are instruments of power. A man who is physically strong or whose purse is full commands power over others. But the power of knowledge is still greater. He is, however, a thinking animal. Knowledge directs his actions and enables him to find the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. It helps him overcome his weakness and faults and face dangers and difficulties with courage and confidence. It gives him mental, moral and spiritual advancement. Besides this, it is through knowledge that man has gained mastery over nature. There was a day when man was in an uncivilized stage. He lived in caves and dens. He was afraid of wild animals. Gradually civilization came to human society and man acquired knowledge. With its attainment he became civilized. Now knowledge has made him ruler over nature. He has used the force of nature to his needs. Nothing remains unknown to him. He has become a great scientist, skilful artist, a mighty creator of things and a noble path finder of life. Advancement of civilization and culture would be impossible without knowledge. Knowledge plays an important role in the progress of art, literature, science, philosophy and religion. So knowledge is power. It has led man for progress. Mighty minds with power of knowledge can rule the minds of millions.
