I. Formulation of the problem.
The book "Know and Do" made me think deeply about a question: why in the sea of information, we always "know" a lot, but very few can really "do"? Why is there a seemingly insurmountable gap between access to knowledge and the implementation of action?
2. The answers in the book.
In the book "Know and Do", Ken Branga provides an in-depth analysis of the problem of "knowing but not doing", revealing the three main obstacles behind it and providing readers with specific strategies to solve them. ①
First, Mr. Blanga pointed out the problem of "information overload". In the age of information, we are often surrounded by a large amount of information, which makes it difficult for us to sift through the parts that are really useful to us. This information overload not only distracts us, but also makes it difficult for us to focus on the actions that really matter. Therefore, Mr. Blanga encouraged us to consciously sift through and focus key information and avoid being distracted by irrelevant content. ②
Second, the author mentions the problem of "negative filtering". Many times, when we receive new information or advice, we unconsciously adopt a negative attitude, seeing it as a threat or challenge rather than an opportunity and a driver of growth. This negative filtering hinders our acceptance of new knowledge and experiences and limits our room to grow. To overcome this, Mr. Branga advises us to keep a positive and open mind and see new information as an opportunity for growth, not a threat.
Finally, Mr. Blanga also pointed out the problem of "lack of follow-up". In many cases, even if we know certain knowledge and truths, it is difficult to translate them into practical actions, often because of a lack of continuous follow-up and reflection. Actions without follow-up are often only short-lived impulses, and experiences without reflection are difficult to translate into true wisdom. Therefore, Mr. Blanga emphasized the importance of continuous follow-up and reflection to help us translate knowledge into long-term actions and habits.
In response to these three questions, Mr. Blanga provides many practical methods and strategies in the book, such as how to screen and focus key information, how to maintain a positive and open mind, and how to continuously follow up and reflect. These methods and strategies are designed to help us bridge the gap between knowledge and action, to truly translate knowledge into action, and to achieve real growth and change.
3. The author's original intention.
Ken Blanga wrote this book because of his deep understanding and practice of the unity of knowledge and action. As a globally renowned business thinker and leadership mentor, he understands that in a rapidly changing world, knowing is not enough, the real power lies in turning knowledge into action. Therefore, he hopes that through this book, more people will realize the importance of the unity of knowledge and action, and provide practical methods and tools so that when we are faced with new knowledge, we can quickly turn it into practical actions to achieve real growth and change.
Fourth, my own understanding.
For this question, I believe that the unity of knowledge and action is not only a concept, but also an attitude to life. In this age of information, we are receiving a lot of knowledge and information every day. However, true growth is not about how much we know, but about whether we can translate that knowledge into action. This requires us to consciously screen and focus on key information, maintain a positive and open mind, have the courage to try and practice, and constantly reflect and improve in practice. Only in this way can we truly cross the gap between knowledge and action and achieve self-growth and transformation.
5. Quote the end of the golden sentence in the book.
Finally, I would like to conclude with a quote from the book: "The real purpose of learning is to act, not just to know." True wisdom is not about how much knowledge you have, but how much knowledge you are able to translate into action. "Let's follow Ken Blanga's guidance and bravely bridge the gap between knowledge and action, turning knowledge into action for real growth and change.
