You probably have heard things like, “The A students work for the C students.” Which Carrie’s some truth to it, but what it really means is that the ones that didn’t follow orders and had the critical thinking to ask themselves:

“Why am I learning this?”
“Will this even help me in life?”
“How will this make me money?”
“Is the teacher even successful themself?”
“Why do teachers choose to become teachers?”

I can go on and on but you get the idea. Schools are only there to hold your hand. They want you to teach you enough to understand concepts, but not teach you why or how to implement it outside of school.

You are only there to follow rules, not make your own. As you went through high school, you probably was nervios to figure out what skill you should build to increase the value of another persons asset (aka: Working a job) rather then building your own asset.

You never considered about creating your own wealth with you on top of pyramid. Lets be real here, every business operates as a “Pyramid Scheme.” The business owner who is on the top pays the people below them for creating more value to their business. Schools will never teach you this. You are told what to do, called to raise your hand, graded for filling in the right bubbles, leave and enter class by the sound of the bell.

If I were to guess, you were too busy consuming education rather than producing the things that you learned. Have you ever implemented the things that school has taught you? I’d guarantee you only use a fraction it.

Not only does school program us to blindly comply, but they also make us consume rather produce (Create, build, etc.)

We carry this program installed in us into college (What a joke is that), and then our jobs. All the way until we die.

They never taught us about self-discipline, self-teaching, self-research, unscripted growth-mindset, creating our own belief system, learning outside of school, and (most importantly) producing.

Consider this phrase from Albert Einstein:
  • “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
For us forum users, we are the fish. We know there’s more to life then what school is giving us. Yet we don’t know what to do outside of school unless we have a social circle that tells you these things. Some people aren't lucky like us to find out the truth outside of school. Once we try to take the entreprenuer route, we are judged by the ones we love because they are too deep in the slow lane to realize there’s more on the other side of the road.

Im curious to know what are your moments where you realized there’s more to just learning in school and then getting a job.
