Educate Yourself
Education is an investment. It pays dividends. It is an investment toward the future. Whose future? Your future. Your formal education, particularly when you take it to a higher level, will usually provide greater opportunities for you. Education costs. It costs money, time, effort, and sacrifice. At times it costs blood, sweat and tears. Once you have it, it cannot be stolen from you. It is yours. It is part of your very being. Go learn something. Get some training. Learn how to do things, repair things, research, learn a new language, learn higher math, learn how to prepare taxes, learn to cook, learn to read music, Learn about agriculture, landscaping, sales, carpentry, history, learn about sports. Become a computer expert. Study the Bible. Study, study, study. Learn, learn, learn. Learn many things. You will make some great discoveries. You won't be sorry. Maybe it is not always easy, but it can also be a great deal of fun. It can be very rewarding, financially and otherwise.

I once read a quote that said "The mind is the only gift that can be opened continually."
I concur, sir. I concur. Education costs time, money and effort. L_RD knows I've cried more than a few tears because of school.
The dividends aren't always paid in money either. Education involves relearning, rethinking and re-imagining the world. In the end a person becomes positioned to experience the world differently.
How much can a book, a course, and skill change someone? Each of these positions someone differently. After reading a book, you are in a different place than you were before.
