An African proverb teaches: “If you think that education is expensive, then try ignorance.” Connected Events Matter's website devotes 17+ subsections of its Life Skills section to finding answers, eliminating roadblocks, and advancing your career. Even if you sincerely embrace these ideas, more is needed.

"Be passionate about improving. Be passionate about helping others. Listen to your feelings.”

It would help if you had the education to choose what to focus your passion on and how best to make a difference. Without education, you might feel love but not know what to do with it. Like walking around with a sack on your head, you won’t see the opportunities right in front of you.
