The Lies We Learn in School – Time for a Change
At school, we study biology, chemistry, and physics, but why isn’t there a subject called “Health”? We memorize historical dates but never learn lessons from history. Communication, relationships, and financial literacy are missing from the curriculum. And yet, we are told: “Students learn for themselves, not for school.”
Schools Teach Security – But Not Financial Intelligence
The reality is different: Schools prepare children to work for money instead of mastering financial independence. Teachers say: “Study hard, get a good job, avoid mistakes, and seek security.” But my grandfather had a different perspective:
Mistakes are valuable – we learn more from failures than successes.
Taking risks means seizing opportunities – those who never try, never grow.
Money means freedom – financial intelligence determines independence.
Responsibility matters more than entitlement – initiative beats reliance on government support.
Financial Education as the Key to Freedom
My grandfather taught me: “Learn to create jobs instead of seeking a secure job.” As a child, I earned money through newspaper delivery, trading animals, and entrepreneurship. This mindset was crucial for my later success.
Every Person Has Potential
As Einstein said: “Everyone is a genius.” Our unique talents must be discovered and nurtured. Poverty, middle-class status, or wealth are not fixed destinies – they result from our choices and strategies.
Think of a sunflower: Every stage of its growth is complete, from bud to bloom. Our personal and financial development works the same way.
Freedom or Security – The Choice Is Ours
We must decide: Freedom or security – we can’t have both. Success isn’t about waiting; it’s about action. Let’s remember these inspiring quotes:
“We can’t lose. Either we win or we learn.”
“Success comes to those who do something while waiting for success.” – Thomas Alva Edison
“Success is an avalanche; it starts with a single snowball.” – Clint Eastwood
This mindset shift changes everything. The power to grow, learn, and achieve is already within us. Are you ready to embrace it?
