We should gather it up. Then, we should go about trying to understand it the best we can. After that, all that is required of us is the action, not thinking about the action, but acting on the knowledge that has been required.

  • Imagine studying money but never applying it. What good does it do if you learn but never earn, save, or invest?

Get the knowledge. Go about understanding what it is and how you can use it. Think about the action  you plan on taking. And then finally, take the last step: ACT.
