Answer
Gaining knowledge is useful or powerful in gaining the skills needed to succeed.
Having power has many meanings. Some people are physically powerful in that they can overcome their opponents. Those with wealth have the power to buy what they want. Politicians have power to influence others. But power is not knowledge.

Answer
Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of facts, truths or information gained in the form of experience or learning. It is the result of perception, learning and reasoning.
Wisdom is being able to utilize knowledge and experience with common sense and insight. A person's wisdom is determined or judged by others in that actions taken were correct.
Reads rapidly but has trouble understanding material
Question
August 31, 2007
Good day, i really appreciate the fact that this site is a creative and knowledge filled site, on like some others who dont have good facilities as this.
My question is this "What if you read rapidly but still yet you dont really understand what you are reading, what are you advised to do?"

Answer
For highly complex material, speed reading is not effective to understand the material. But for other material, you can use various techniques to read rapidly and understand the material.
It is good to quickly skim the material, perhaps just looking at the headlines to get an idea of what it is about. Reading the first sentence in a paragraph can sometimes be all you need. Some people read the article rapidly, but do it twice to gain comprehension.
Newspapers, with their narrow columns, are a very good place to practice speed reading with good comprehension.
See our lesson on speed reading at:

I hope this helps you read well and to understand what you are reading.

Answer
You need to take Physical Science and Chemistry classes both in high school and in college to get into those fields.
Astronauts need to be able to make good observations and do studies in their scientific field. Some study the stars while in space, while other may study human behavior, how well plants grow in space or other experiments. But also, they often want astronauts to know how to fly airplanes.
See: http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/astronauts/training.html for information on the training of astronauts.
Chemists need to major in chemistry in college and go on to get an advanced degree. You can start with science classes in the 6th grade already, as well as having an interest in the field.
See: http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/jobs.htm for information on jobs using science.

Answer
It sounds like you have some very sensitive senses. Often people have a filter that eliminates many things they see, such that they only remember certain items. If you have total recall, you should be able to use that talent to your advantage.

Answer
Most men masturbate, and it is not unhealthy unless taken to an extreme. But note that it is a solitary activity, and it may be antics he was for taking a chance at getting involved in social activities.
Trying to meet and talk to other people can be difficult, but you need to fail to be able to learn to succeed. Success belongs to those who are persistent.

Answer
Think of all the oppositions and challenges in life as opportunities to strengthen your character and faith.
When answering questions from people, do not try to solve their problems. Instead, ask them what solutions they think they could try. In this way, they will take charge of their own lives and the solutions to their problems. Instead of solving their problems yourself. You are helping them to solve their own problems.
