If Knowledge is half the battle
Taking Action is the next fifty —
Or ... Pareto's 20/80

Of all the things I know
It doesn't mean I'll grow

If only knowing equalled becoming
I'd reinvent myself with ease

Overconfident and extroverted
Economically sound
Less round
A budget queen
 A sugar-free machine
Exercising tactful directness

Free from loops of mental distress
Emotionally numb, intellectually done
                                   Which means crying way less

Living life with total adeptness
(Who cares about reflection and self-awareness)

Knowledge acquired. Growth pending. A self help poem that is not helpful.
