The Meaning of Education


Misconception about the word EDUCATE

Dictionaries have not aided in the elimination of this misunderstanding, because they have defined the word educate as an act of imparting knowledge.

The word educate has its roots in the latin word educo, which means to develop from within; to draw out; to grow through the law of use

Nature hates idleness in all its forms. Tie up an arm, or any other portion of the body taking out of use, and the idle part will soon be lifeless. Reverse the order, give an arm more than normal use, such as that engaged in by the blacksmith who wields a heavy hammer all day long, and that arm grows strong.



Organized Knowledge in Action

Power grows out of organized knowledge. But mind you, it grows out of it only through the application of use.

Some of the best educated people the world has known possessed much less general knowledge than some who gave been known as fools.

The difference between the two being that the former put into use what knowledge they possessed while the latter made no such application.

An educated person is one who knows how to acquire everything needed in the attainment of their main purpose in life - without violating the right of others.

By that definition, many knowledgeable individuals come nowhere near qualifying as "Educated".

Similarly it might also be a great surprise to many who believe they suffer from lack of learning to know that they are well educated.

The uses of learning

The successful lawyer is not the one who memorizes most of the principles of law. The successful lawyer is the one who knows where to find a principle of law, which fit the immediate needs of a given case.

In other words, the successful lawyer is the one who knows where to find the law he or she wants when needed.

True education means mind development no merely the gathering and classifying of knowledge

Education, Let us not forget this, consists of the power with which to get everything one needs, when one needs it, without violating the rights of others.

To make the sale there are five different task, all requiring different kinds of knowledge you could work to educate yourself for each of these jobs, or you could create a Master Mind Alliance. 

Who would have been truly responsible for making the sale happen?

You, since you were the one who assembled the team that got the job done.


Henry Ford



In one memorable exchange, Stevenson asked, “Do you know anything about the Revolution, Mr. Ford?”
“Yes, sir,” Ford answered.
“What revolution did you have in mind, Mr. Ford?”
“In 1812,” Ford replied to murmurs of astonishment in the crowded courtroom.
After the trial, the media pronounced its own unequivocal verdict on Ford’s performance. “Mr. Ford has been submitted to a severe examination of his intellectual qualities,” wrote the New York Times. “He has not received a pass.” “The man is a joke,” blasted the New York Post.
There are many people who could easily entangle ford, with a maze of questions, none of which he could answer. But ford could turn right around and wage a battle in finance that would exterminate those same people, with all of their knowledge and wisdom.

Ford could not go into his chemical laboratory and separate water into its component atoms of hydrogen and oxygen and then recombine these atoms in their former order, but he knows how to surround himself with the chemist who can do this for him if he wants it done.

The person who can intelligently use the knowledge possessed by another is as much, or more, a person of education as the on who merely has the knowledge but does not know what to do with it.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth File #4 Rich people think big. Poor people think small

Wealth principle: The law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace. The keyword is value. It's important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply,demand,quality and quantity. The factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace? Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect? Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people's lives. But hear this: your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing to others. It's about living true...
