If school education actually prepared us for life, we would have a lot of millionaires, not people who enter adulthood with zero knowledge of taxes, finances, or running a business. Most people go through the education system like cattle through a slaughterhouse – they memorize things they will never use in life, and then they wonder why they don't know how to make their first million.
School doesn't teach how to earn money, only obedience
The education system was designed to produce obedient workers, not entrepreneurs. Even in elementary school, you are taught to follow orders, not ask questions, and any attempt to think outside the box ends with a red pen on the test and a talk about how "you have to obey."
Now think about it – have you ever heard of anyone getting rich because they were great at following orders? The real money is in creativity, risk, and the ability to act, and school will never teach you that.
Real education is life and business
If you want to make money, you need to start by acquiring REAL knowledge – knowledge that you can apply right away and that will give you tangible results. That means three things:
-
Practical experience – You can read a thousand books on running a business, but until you start, you won’t understand anything. Mistakes, lost money, bad decisions – that’s your real school. Anyone who has achieved success has hundreds of bad moves behind them that have taught them what to do better.
-
Mentors and people who have already done it – If you want to learn something, listen to people who have results, not theorists who teach you how to run a business but have never built one themselves. Find people who have made real money and watch what they do.
-
Self-education – Books, courses, podcasts, conferences, networking. But it's not about absorbing every book about success, but about selecting content and USING it in practice. If you read something valuable, implement it immediately.
Mistakes are your teacher, not your enemy
People are afraid to make mistakes because school has convinced them that a mistake = failure. In reality, a mistake is feedback, and in business it is even capital. If you are afraid of failure, you will never be rich. Anyone who has built something great has failed dozens of times before, but instead of giving up, he drew conclusions and moved on.
When you start in business, don't avoid risk - minimize it, but don't let the fear of failure stop you. If you never fail, you've never tried.
Summary – Want to be rich? Stop studying like an average person
Want to be successful? Throw away your systemic thinking and start learning like successful people do:
✅ Do instead of just thinking.
✅ Learn from those who have already achieved results.
✅ Make mistakes and learn from them.
✅ Invest in PRACTICAL knowledge, not academic nonsense.
Don't wait for the system to "prepare" you - the system wants you to be average your whole life. You have two options: either you wait for the perfect moment that will never come, or you take matters into your own hands and start acting now. The choice is yours.
