Hinge is a jointed or flexible device on which a door, lid, or other swinging part turns.

Be flexible – The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.

“Success is that old ABC – ability, breaks and courage.” — Charles Luckman

Ability is showing that you know how to put your knowledge into play or practice to achieve a desired result.

If you want to create a change, you need to support ability.
Knowing isn’t good enough. Change requires doing. Doing requires ability. And each person involved in the change, needs the ability to implement the new skills and behaviors.

What is Ability?
According to Hiatt, ability is the act of doing:
“Ability is the demonstrated achievement of the change. Ability is the act of doing, such that the desired objectives of the change are realized.”

Or, more precisely, ability is demonstrated when the change is visible in action or measurable in terms of effect.
In other words, ability is “achieved when a person or organization can implement the change and achieve the desired performance level associated with that change.”

Knowledge is not ability. It’s easy to confuse knowledge with ability. You can think of knowledge as the body of information, while ability is competence.
