What does the phrase "Knowledge Is Power" mean to Me

Well, my understanding of the words knowledge is power to me means knowledge is the key to success. To break it down in a more simple format, having knowledge can lead you to success. To me there are two types of knowledge. One is street knowledge and the other is book knowledge. These both have minor similarities but they are very different. Some people have one or the other or some just use them both. I consider myself having both street smarts and book smarts too. Street knowledge or street smarts just simply means that you know your way out in the real world. This can come from the "real world" experience that lots of people face. Also street smarts can mean that you can most likely make it out on your own. On the other hand, book knowledge just simply means that you know "facts". This can most likely occur from you being in school and getting a education for yourself. Combined, who knows what you could achieve. Together, the both make a perfect pair because if you have knowledge from the streets and knowledge from school too, you could master a job! Sometimes you could achieve much, much more than that as well!!!!!
