In some phases of life you have to choose between the three? What do you choose? and if you think that you have the right equation using the three components with happiness, please share it with us.
Your contribution is always welcomed.
I have opted for knowledge, in addition, I believe that society should choose knowledge as a role model, thinking about new generations. The knowledge offers a wide scope, provides criteria to address important decisions, does not admit shortcuts, requires responsibility and its acquisition is a step-by-step process. If society chose knowledge, the concepts of power and money could be enriched with new attributes. Power could also represent social justice, the common good, fight for the defense of human rights, ... Similarly, money could be an instrument to achieve the equitable distribution of wealth, the fight against poverty, ...
Knowledge is the best weapon in the world. Knowledge is divine , one cannot get knowledge easily as it comes with the experience . knowledge is power which don’t have an end. knowledge which we can help others with sharing it. knowledge were we can earn money. Knowledge which is buried with body , it will be with you to end of your life.
Some of us are lifelong learners, myself included. So if I had more power and money I'd use it substantially for the pursuit of knowledge. So whether I receive all three or just one wouldn't make any difference.

My principle is "don't run after money, run after knowledge you will surely be rich."
Amar hello,
As usual, you are initiating thought-provoking debates. I thank you for that.
It is a catch 22 situation, I am afraid.
Power can give you access to knowledge and will attract money to you.
Knowledge can be exchanged for money and can get you into power.
Money can buy your way into both knowledge and power.
I doubt any scientist on this forum would chose anything else than knowledge or money (i.e. what we have committed our lives to or miss in order to progress further as scientists/ academicians).
Personally, I prefer to have neither.
The discomfort this creates would always make me aim higher and strive to be better. ;)
Yet, one must be properly recognized for the quality of his/ her professional work.
An issue would be to have all three - where do you go from there?
Dear Amar Bencherik
Hello
What I have is enough, I'm satisfied.
I wish all of these things + hope and patience to the sympathetic and altruistic people.
I would choose knowledge. Having power and money without knowledge would eventually result in one losing power and money. However, you could always gain power and money through use of your knowledge.
Dear @Djaafar Zemali
Thank you for your valuable answer, it seems that you are attached to knowledge until the end ☺
Dear @Karl Pfeifer
Thank you for the valuable contribution, using money and power for the pursuit of knowledge is a good, but pursuing knowledge could exhaust your resources and looking for the truth (knowledge) could make you loose power.
Dear @Francisco Martínez González
Thank you for your contribution, at the end you choose the good use of the three, but is it possible?
Dear @Ashokkumar V. Rajani @Arvind Singh
Thank you for the direct clear answer.
EDUCATION BRINGS KNOWLEDGE,KNOWLEDGE IS POWER,BOTH KNOWLEDGE AND POWER WILL GET YOU MONEY...SO I WILL GO WITH EDUCATION TO GET KNOWLEGDE,POWER,AND MONEY.
Just knowledge. That is all one needs to find the meaning of life, maybe. Power and money complicate things and you forget why you are here on a planet.
Dear @Valeria Tananska Thank you for your profound answer, and for the complement.

Dear @Navitha Singh Sewpersadh @Folorunsho M Ajide @Michael Issigonis @Carine Temegne Nono.
Thank you for your valuable contributions.
Amar Bencherik RE: knowledge could exhaust your resources and looking for the truth (knowledge) could make you loose power."
Knowledge can include the knowledge to use your resources wisely and husband them carefully; seeking knowledge is selective and again can include the knowledge that enables one to attain and maintain power.
@Karl Pfeifer
I totally agree with you, it is just a way to say that May be knowledge worth spending all the money and losing all the power, because the serenity comes with the truth.
Thank you for your interaction.
Dear Amar Bencherik ,I feel all three can not be separated, because of changing time and changing conditions, all three can become an inseparable unity in life that can occur at any point in time in our lives. thank you, regards.
Dear @ I Putu - Artaya @ Rasha Adnan ahmed
Thank you for your contribution.
We need knowledge to earn money. We need money for knowledge and knowledge for money.If we don't have knowledge how would we earn a good job for money? This is a big question.I say that both things matter knowledge and money.If we don't have money how will we pay the fees of our kids and ourselves.
I choose knowledge because it can pave the ground for achieving money and power.
I think that science and knowledge are the basis of the rest of the elements
جواب السؤال يستشف من هذه الآية
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أن
يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ (38) قَالَ عِفْرِيتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ ۖ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ (39) قَالَ الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِندَهُ قَالَ هَٰذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّي لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ ۖ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّي غَنِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ
'Knowledge is wealth' according to Indian mythology.Everything follows once knowledge is acquired.
No second thoughts.
I choose power and I mean by this
that when I have a power I can do anything (money ,knowledge ...
Dear @Rameshchandra Phani @Bouaissa Afaf thank you for your contributions.
Am in line with Karl Pfeifer : learning and wisdom are of highest human quality, i.e.
investments into the living human spirit are paramount. Power, money and knowledge are temporary means (tools) to achieve this humanistic state and to eventually contribute to a good life.
Actually there is no choice. Human prefers what is available to him. I saw several people who tried to work in science, but belonging by birth and upbringing to the owners of power. Very quickly they understood where their real place was. Of course, the transition from stratum to stratum is possible, but this is rare. By the way, you have not mentioned publicity (fame) yet. Sometimes it’s more attractive (for actors, for example). But in general, the choice is wrong. Can everything be a package?
In my experience one must search for the balance between power, knowledge and money. In the long run I argue this line of process will lead to happiness. Recently blockchain technologies (smart contract, etc.) has been in the focus to leverage balance, interaction among partners. I did look up the Internet to back up my line of reasoning.

Dear @Elhadi I. Dekam @Stephen I. Ternyik @Nazia Asad
Thank you for your contributions.
Dear @Vadim S. Gorshkov @Bulcsu Szekely, thank you for the valuable contributions and the profound perspectives you added to the discussion.
Knowledge is answered by most members and it is correct
Knowledge can't be stolen by anyone
With knowledge power and money will come automatically
Dear @Zainab Mahmood Jawad @Jaydip Datta @Arben J Salihu
Thank you for the answers.
Please exclude knowledge from the list because knowledge can not be compared with money and power. Then you will be able to find a meaningful comparison out of money and power.
I agree with all colleagues .. To choose by priority and importance, the first option is knowledge, the second is the power, and finally money
Dear @Diwakar Singh, thank you for the contribution, I think it's not a matter of comparison, it is about choosing, it's about life choices🙂
Dear @Ekhlas A. Hussein @Waleed Abobatta @Charalampos Triantis Martinos, thank you for your contributions.
I feel in this millennium era "Knowledge" is the main stay and rest follow it.
Knowledge can be the easiest and finest ways to get power and money
Dear @Emre Pakdemirli @Chenikhar Abderrahmane @Elker Mohamed
Thank you for your contributions.
I will opt for knowledge. Through knowledge it is possible to earn money and get power.
It depends on the human age and needs. Older men certainly prefer strength
The most valuable thing in the world is knowledge. Everything else in our lives, money, health, things, love, they can all come and go. They can all be taken away from us. The one thing that no one can ever take from you once you have acquired it is knowledge.
I would like to say knowledge.
But I don't think that knowledge will always bring power and money. In some cases this is possible. Still rather often some knowledge of a purely academic nature is not exactly lucrative. Of course, it depends on the field of knowledge. If there is no demand for some knowledge on the market there will be neither money nor power.
Knowledge is knowledge You can use it anywhere anytime.
Knowledge is very important, power and money will often be acquired in due course by a knowledgeable individual. All three attributes contribute to a satisfying life.
Knowing you could be at the same playing field as your friends, or even above their level... to question the usefulness of your future simply because you can’t attend a university, take a special someone out on a date, or travel to the location you’d like to live in for the rest of your life… to be trapped in the same surroundings doing the same things for the rest of your life… all of these because of the lack of money…
Dear all, thank you for participating, but Many people think that looking for power and money affects knowledge, and could destroy the truth.
I believe, the concepts of power and money could be reinforced with new characteristic but knowledge you can employ it over anytime.
“The only bonafide power in the whole macrocosm is Knowledge”
― Musharraf Shaheen.
Knowledge is power’ is a popular proverb. It means that knowledge is more powerful than physical strength and no great work can be done without knowledge.
Knowledge is a powerful factor that empowers people achieves great results. The more knowledge a person gains, the more powerful he becomes
Knowledge plays a vital role in every sphere of human life and activity. Knowledge has helped in the advancement and development of civilization and culture. The application of knowledge has led man to the path of progress. We can all benefit from learning new things.
Knowledge is more important than strength and money, so every person must start early to obtain knowledge because it requires a long time. As for strength and money, it comes in the right circumstance and time.
What happens when the one who knows and the one who has the money meet? The one who knows in addition to power gets the money, while the one who had the money leaves without power and money but with new knowledge.
