-children lose interest/sight, cant see e reasons why e importance of getting gd grade/gd job. Generally they are force to follow what e rest is doing, w/o any real focus in life but just short-term goal of getting results for exam becos they are not born self-motivated, only few would want to do so to gain attention/recognition from ppl around them.

- " dont wants" creates/drive "wants"
-e power of spirit. if u ask most ppl if they like to be rich/ financially free, they would say "yes". but then reality sets in. the road seems too long with too many hills to climb. its easier to just work for money & hand e excess over to your broker.
2. i choose daily: the power of choice. tt is the main reason ppl want to live in a free country. we want e power to choose. " time+learn->asset" where excuses rob away "learn"
-invest 1st in education
