thanks bauer

just to share lang po...ung boss ko grade 6 lang tinapos... multi-millionaire sya but he lives a very simple life... may collection sya sa tagaytay ng mga benz... pero kung makita mo un sa makati naglalakad lang... pabili bili ng ukay-ukay... he's the most humble person I ever know... once I asked him how he became successful... sabi nya he always mingle with very successful people, until now, and we should do the same.

No matter how much money and time freedom one seeks, I think an individual should get as much education as possible.

Get a job afterwards, get some experience. Use some of that money earned to help get you out of the rat race.

For me the statement is FALSE! we still need to go to school to get rich, o kahit man lang magkaroon ng atleast magandang trabaho. Mas marami pa rin ang yumayaman na may pinag aralan kay sa mga taong wala.

Ika nga... Mawawala man lahat ng ari arian mo at kayamanan...ang iyong pinaghawakan na degree,kurso o diploma ay hindi na kayang bawiin pa...

Sus, our world is the BIG SCHOOL. So Everyone should go to SCHOOL.

Anyone can be rich in their own ways and means.

Don't equate RICH=MONEY because you just get yourself a headache.

Richness is just a state of mind.

In most networking seminars that I attend ganyan ang laging bukambibig ng mga speaker. Mas mayaman pa daw sila sa mga nag aaral. Ang yayabang. I know that someday those words will come back to haunt them.

I think the most appropriate phrase they should say is.

If You Want To Be RICH, Don't (just) Go To (traditional) School..

Marami sa atin already spent years (Elementary, HS, College, Masteral, Phd) and money (from parents, or part time) in traditional schooling.. Most of us end up as employee. And being employee is basically not the BEST option to have richness in terms of monetary. We are just making owner of the company richer (sad reality)..

I believe, kahit hanggang High school lang natapos.. have a non-traditional schooling to compliment like seminars, conferences, bootcamps, meetups, mini-courses that will enhance yourself in exploring options outside of being employee.

may mga kaibigan ako na very successful businessmans... di nga nakatapos ng high school... di dahil sa ayaw nilang mag-aral.. kundi wala tlaga clang opportunity na makapag-aral dahil sahirap ng buhay nila dati .. naging successful kc madiskarte sa buhay... but now that they have their own families... i ask them na now na well off cla... ok lang ba na di makatapos ung kids nila... and they said no...

ung diploma kc is just a ticket... di sya tlaga magiging basis kung magiging successful ka or not... dame ko ngang kakilala na mga cumlaude pero hirap makahanap ng work or rank and file pa din position...

so nasa tao tlaga yan

Walang yumayaman ng hindi na e-educate... lahat tayo ay natututo in one way or another. Maraming uri ng education. Hindi lang ito naka kulong sa apat na sulok ng paaralan o pinapatunayan ng isang kapirasong papel galing sa ched. Hindi ko sinasabi na wag kayong pumunta ng eskwelahan. Mali yun... maraming bagay ang matutunan natin sa klase. Ang issue dito e kung paano natin ginagamit ang mga natutunan natin para mapaunlad ang ating kabuhayan.

Higher degree won't help either. May mga kilala ako with multiple doctorate degree pa nga na bankrupt. Although magaling sila dumiskarte kung pano bolahin mga tao at umutang.
