An open mind

I met two old friends recently.

One took the well-beaten path of climbing up a corporate ladder and is now in a comfortable position of wealth.

The other took the path less beaten and went into several businesses and is starting to find success.

Education played a part in helping these two men find success. But so do their mindsets, soft skills, business sense, experience and negotiation skills.

The next time you’re exasperated in helping your child do his homework, a long-term horizon would help.

In the long run, none of his grades would ever matter.

A formal education is but a stepping stone to the University of Life. That’s what everybody is graduating from.
