Most of the people that have changed the course of history have not been that well educated......especially in terms of formal education. Mention Isaac Newton, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Abraham Lincoln, Richard Branson among many others. The common denominators for all these is that they did not have good formal education like many of us.
However, it will be foolhardy to think that these men were just uneducated. Not at all. These men devoted hours and hours into self-education. It is self-education that shaped their lives and their businesses. It is self-education that will help you to live your dreams, stretch your goals, live a balanced life, start successful businesses, invest wisely, achieve financial freedom and more important, live the true meaning of your life.
The late Jim Rohn said, 'Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.' To the best of my knowledge, Jim Rohn is indeed right. Learning more will earn you more. It will help you to do more, achieve more, become more and give more.
Become a student of self-education. Make your car an automobile university. Build a home library full of motivational books and DVDs. Devour each inspirational book you set your hands on. Listen to motivational talks that will help you live your dreams. Go to seminars and learn new ideas and concepts. Be an eternal student.
