KNOWING VS DOING

Once upon a time, there was a penguin who was surfing the Internet. He came across the website of a motivational speaker who specialized on teaching pigs how to fly with his seminar titled "Pigs Can Fly!"  The penguin was amazed and thought, "If this person can teach pigs to fly, maybe he can perform a miracle and also teach penguins to fly." The penguin emailed the motivational speaker and asked him if he had a seminar titled " Penguins Can Fly." "Of course. No problem." The speaker responded. The penguin asked him if he would be interested in coming to the South Pole. The speaker said it would be very expensive. The money was raised. The travel arrangements were made. Everything was all set. On the big day, 100 excited penguins showed up at the hotel for the "Penguins Can Fly" seminar. The speaker began by telling them that there were only two things they had to do to fly.

 #1 Flap your wings harder. 

#2 Believe in yourself. 

He started teaching them how to flap really, really, really hard. The penguins learned to flap harder but not one of them left the ground. Then the speaker had ladders set up all around the room. He explained that he wanted the penguins to start on the first rung, jump off and flap really hard. They started on the first rung. They jumped off and flapped. And they all fell flat on their beaks. Next, they progressed to the second rung. Still no success. When they got to the third rung, suddenly one of the penguins yelled out, "look at Ralph! Look at Ralph!" Ralph was up and flying for about 10 seconds. That did it! As soon as the other penguins saw that it was possible, they started to believe. One after another, they started flying. They were up in the air for five seconds... 10 seconds... 30 seconds ... by the end of the day, every single one of them was flying for as long as they wanted!

The "Penguins Can Fly" seminar was a resounding success. When it ended, the speaker didn't just get a standing ovation, he received a flying one too! After it was all over, the most curious thing happened. When all the penguins left the hotel, each and every one of them  WALKED back home. 

Are there some powerful or even amazing things you KNOW but aren't DOING!
