Use What you have to get what you want (KH Magazine)

In this day of high-tech complexity, is the old quote "knowledge is power" as relevant as it used to be?

While, world leaders have had to rely on what they have to get what they want.
In other words, You need to know how to use what you have to get what you want, if you want to be called leader.

Let us be clear, right now. Take your time and think about “What you have” and “What you want” for a second. Is one of them flame (girl, boy friend) making you happy? Is it High point GPA (Grade Point Average) filling you up enough? Sufficient knowledge or Money you can show off front of people enough?

What I’ve come to realize and I’d like to talk about is that the key is to fully understand what you have and, equally important, know what you want. You have to take a profound look at your dreams, goals, and aspirations, followed by a good, hard look at your assets, resources and talents. And then, you have to figure out a gap between the two.

It happens at the same times each year.
I get too busy (work, school, life) and I desperately need to have a look back on “what I have”, “what I want” with Starbucks coffee. I don’t think people look to leaders necessarily because they are smarter or because they know something that others don’t.”

“People see what the leaders have to get what they want.”

I’ll give you example. This is story about when I was working at company, TUNAP Canada Ltd. with Managing Director. He always told me “Necessity of being leader is to know perfectly what you have`. One day, we bought one application called ERP (Enterprise resource planning) as a project. Even though it was very strong application, it needed to be modified a lot. It is vivid that Software company has powerful tools but business mind. Especially attached documents didn’t make sense in the business field. We’ve accused of it, and eventually we’ve got free edition. In other words, they didn’t know what they have to get what they want. Despite they have massive information, they don’t know what they have to get what they want (they don’t know how it they have works).

It is obviously impossible that you have everything. I don’t compel you to be a leader, but to know what you have to get what you want.

You might be asking you over and over again, if you agreed with my perspective. I’ll give you a way I think.

Here’s the thing though. To get what you want to do, you have to first base it off a reference point.
This reference point is based on your past experiences. If you have not accumulated a set amount of experiences, you can’t possibly generate a meaningful answer in that regard.

Get to know what you have is. Go out the world and explore the difference from where you are now.
Hope you go all out in all your goal pursuits and in pursuing your interests.

Put your heart and soul in everything you do.

I hope it leads you to totally different world you’ve been faced with. Take care.
