We were not taught financial literacy in school. It takes a lot of work and time to change your thinking and to become financially literate.
In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.
Because students leave school without financial skills, millions of educated people pursue their profession successfully, but later find themselves, struggling financially.
The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money...but never learn to have money work for them.
Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
I don't believe in giving people money. In Sunday school [you learn] that if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life; but you give him a fish, you feed him for a day.
In the real world, the smartest people are people who make mistakes and learn. In school, the smartest people don't make mistakes.
Schools teach you how to work for money, but don't teach how to make money work for you
If you're still doing what mommy and daddy said for you to do (go to school, get a job, and save money), you're losing.
I am successful because I have always been a tortoise. I did not come from a rich family. I was not smart in school. I did not finish school. I am not particularly talented. Yet, I am far richer than most people simply because I did not stop.
In school, you are given the lesson first. On the street, you're given the mistake first and then it's up to you to find the lesson, if you ever find it.
A problem with school is that you often become what you study. If you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. If you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. The mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich
I think it's a tragedy that our schools don't teach kids about money. I think it's a tragedy that it has to come to an emergency before we evolve.
We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.
The trouble with school is they give you the answer, then they give you the exam. That's not life.
One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home, not at school.
Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.
In military school, on day one you must memorize the mission of the Merchant Marine Academy.
I grew up playing football and hunting; and went to military school and then into the Marine Corps. Kindness is not a valued trait. That`s why I had to learn kindness. As I grow older I'm finding it's something I definitely need to put focus on, thought and practice. Kindness actually comes from the heart, so it's really stretching inside of me. It's been quite a magical journey for me to learn to be kinder in my dealing[s] with other people.
If you had seen me back in high school, there's no way you would have ever said I would become an author or teacher because I was a horrible student.
The financial education taught in schools is funded and taught by the big banks and corporations. It's like having the cat train the mice.
Military school was great and especially great for leadership and then I spent two years in Vietnam.
In the world of entrepreneurs, you don't need a college education. You need a proper education.
The primary reason people seek job security is because that is what they are taught to seek, at home and at school..then with debt loads, they must cling even tighter to a job, or professional security, just to pay the bills.
That's correct, I flunked out of high school twice because I couldn't write.
