What you know is really the basis of what you are. You need to build your base of knowledge to become as successful as you desire. What we personally gain from knowledge is an individual experience, some of us will directly relate to the knowledge we gain, while others may never make a connection.

When we take the knowledge, we gain and apply a liberal dose of experience, this is where we start differentiating ourselves from others. No tow people will ever have the same knowledge backed by the same experiences. Again, this is where the truly unique individual concept arises.

When we think of training, this is where we really get our initial exposure to experience. When we train we are able to blend the knowledge we have been taught and put it to use with our experiences or use it to gain experience. Training is a means of keeping a sharp edge on our attributes, which help to develop and strengthen them.

Growth is something that happens automatically for a period of time, such as maturing and getting taller. But we need to be cognizant of the fact that often times we need to seek out opportunities to grow, we need to chase growth, not expect growth to chase us.

Continual learning is something too that we must be aware of. Just like plants in the garden, we are either growing or dying and learning needs to be looked at in a similar fashion. Every day we have an opportunity to learn and when we learn, we grow. If you are unable to find something to learn each day, you need to more likely open your eyes, ears, and mind to the environment around you and not so much be concerned that there is no opportunity available. There will always be an opportunity to learn, and grow, you just need to find it.
