The Greatest Investment You'll Ever Make
The more you learn...
The more you earn... the more deeply you love & appreciate... and the more good you are able to do in the world.
The old model of cramming a bunch of unessential knowledge into our brains for the purpose of making the grade is becoming seen for what it is... a total waste of time and ultimately useless in the real world.
It also has the tendency of killing the natural human desire to learn and grow by attaching such tedium & drudgery to it.
Regardless... rant over! haha!
To become successful in the real world, we must embrace the life long student idea.
This is not something to dread however... when you are building your dreams, the education surrounding and supporting them tends to be subjects that resonate and inspire you.
We are busy though... and there are always a million things to do, so self education is typically one of those things like forming a daily routine... We have to force the habit in.
But when you do.. you'll realize.
There's NOTHING you can't do... (it's always just a matter of time)
I've taught myself many things that I formally sucked at and in doing so I have discovered that power within myself.
My self education positively impacts literally every single area of my life!
