Related quote: "One of the most important commitments I've learned is that anytime you learn anything, and you find it has any form of value, the most important thing you want to do is--while you're still in state, while it's still important, while it's still in your mind--you want to take some form of action.... Write down two or three key principles that you want to remember, or action items, and ideally do something to share it or do something to act on it today. Remember, knowledge is not power. Knowledge is potential power. If you really look at what makes someone successful versus not, it all comes down to execution. Execution trumps knowledge every day of the week." -Tony Robbins (source)
