What is knowledge and how does knowledge help people achieve goals?

In my understanding knowledge is the act of someone understanding something act a particular time or having the ability to solve a problem that comes his or her way. Like I say before that knowledge is the ability of someone being able to solve a problem at a particular time so when someone have that knowledge about the things it becomes easy for him to be able to achieve is goal without much stress . For example a steemian who has knowledge about steemit knows how to put his markdown, engage with other people have a chances of winning bombing because he is she has the knowledge of what he is doing in the platform.

What do you understand by the saying, "Ignorance is bliss". Can ignorance be powerful?

it all depends on the aspect of life before ignorance can be bliss. A child who doesn't know what the world is all about tent to enjoy every moment to comes around him because his head is full of ignorance. That is the age which that statement can be applied but in reality ignorance can't never be bliss because if that thing is not necessary today in your life tomorrow It will surely come around. So it is better for everybody to face that particular challenges and have a experience about because it is being stated that experience is the best teacher which is very true. ![dictionary-1619740_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcXnraxSBmeYBkEwvRzgk3ixDDLt8ZGzG3Yso4PrCrBdw/dictionary-1619740_1280.jpg)[source](https://pixabay.com/photos/dictionary-reference-book-learning-1619740)

How does misinformation affect knowledge?

Misinformation is one of the key factor against knowledge because once you miss a particular information about something every knowledge that you have become useless. Imagine a new member who just signup in to the the platform and his mentor tell him that on every post he make that he will voted and with that information his mind is full of hope that his post will be voted and when I finally makes a post he ended up not being voted as he thinks and he continues make a post up to 5 without be votes as he thinks, he become frustrated and he make feel like giving up. The key points they is misinformation and the knowledge he has become useless.

Is knowledge really power?

Knowledge is power in all aspects of our life's because when you have a knowledge about a certain things around you, you also have the power about that thing too. The power of oneself can only be determine be his knowledge the way his speak, his mood of dressing and is personal lifestyle show how the powerful that individuals can be. Knowledge is power because when someone has a good knowledge he or she stand out above his peer group and even some of the elderly people because he or she knows what to do at a particular time.
