EMPOWERMENT

Empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. Now to empower yourself is just like virtually tapping into your hidden inner self and unlock the power within it.
.Effective resource utilization empower one to achieve any goals in life
Take, for instance,giving food to someone to eat is good. Even better is sharing knowledge. A hungry man first needs to be fed. Only then will he be receptive to knowledge. Giving in the form of food or money may result in the recipients coming back for more and eventually get used for charity.But by giving knowledge, you can make him independent; he gets empowered. 
Its all about what you do, not what you say.

Quotes: 

“Virtually every company will be going out and empowering their workers with a certain set of tools, and the big difference in how much value is received from that will be how much the company steps back and really thinks through their business processes…thinking through how their business can change, how their project management, their customer feedback, their planning cycles can be quite different than they ever were before.”
