The Difference Between Knowing and Understanding

Motivational Power Quote

The Difference Between Knowing and Understanding

“There is a great difference between

knowing and understanding.

You can know a lot about something

and not really understand it.”

William Shakespeare

As I see it. . . . . . . .


The difference between knowing and understanding


A person can know a number of things but without the understanding of what they know and how to apply that knowledge the knowing has very little value.


The people that can take their knowledge and apply it with understanding creates value in their knowledge and for themselves.


The person that can effectively apply their knowledge will be considered and expert in their field and will be in demand as a resource.
