Motivation Is Not Enough

I got this from another article.

"It's like the knight back in the Middle Ages. He was returning to the castle one evening after a long, hard day of skirmishes. His armor was dented; his helmet was askew, and his plume was broken off. Even his horse was limping.
The lord of the manor saw him coming and went out to greet him. "What happened? What hath befallen you, Sir Albert?" he asked.
The knight straightened himself up and said, "Oh, Sire, I have been striving in your behalf all day, robbing and pillaging and burning the towns of your enemies to the west. "
"You've been doing what?" asked the astonished nobleman. The knight repeated his statement louder and slower in case his old master couldn't hear well.
"But I haven't any enemies to the west," cried the nobleman.
"Oh?" asked the knight. Then after a pause he said, "Well you do now. "
There's a moral to the story. Motivation is not enough. The knight was motivated, but that wasn't enough. You've also got to know what you should be doing. That's where the learning comes in.

"Learning is increasing one's ability to take effective action. "

But I feel that is where impatience sets in, especially if one sees that effectiveness is being hindered by someone else. Then what happens?

Looking back, most of us have been thru much training and education just to find out that log in another brother's eye?
