A Winner's Education - What You Need to Know in Order to Succeed

How much do you remember about what you were taught in school? If you're like most people, you remember little of the irrelevant facts stuffed into your unwilling young mind by overzealous teachers.

Schools were created during the Industrial Revolution to prepare young people to work in factories. They were essentially a training ground for conformity and mediocrity and of course a source of cheap labor.

Times have changed dramatically. We now longer live in the Industrial Revolution, we now live in the Information Age. But schools have remained the same...stuffing kids heads with obscure facts that have no relevance to their lives whatsoever. After 12 years in this institution of learning, kids are ill-prepared to face the challenges of the real world.

I propose a new type of school, one where children are taught things that will actually benefit them later on in life. Courses like Marriage 101, Wealth Creation 102, Communication skills 103, Budgeting and Financial Planning 104, Positive Thinking 105 and so on would be the norm. And with textbooks like Awaken the Giant Within, Think and Grow Rich, The One Minute Millionaire and Chicken Soup for the Soul. And how about teachers the likes of Anthony Robbins, John De Lemme, Robert Allen and Mark Victor Hansen.

Oh how I wish I had attended a school like that. Don't you?

It's not too late, you know. There's still time to learn all that you wish you had learned in school. But nobody is going to do it for you. You have to grab the bull by the horns and start the process of self-education independently. The only teacher watching over your shoulder will be yourself. And the best part is you get to choose exactly what you want to learn, how you want to learn it (by reading a book, listening to a CD, watching a video, attending a seminar, participating in a tele-class etc). And you get to set your own pace. No exams to write, no pressure at all, just the joy of learning what enriches your life and mind an speaks to your heart and soul.
