Education is the key to success. One must never be satisfied with the few bits he or she is given. A single bite is not enough to nourish the entire mind, body, or soul.  Self-education and continual learning is essential. Remember, your output will never surpass your input. What you invest in yourself, in your education, will determine your level of success (outcome). You invest little your return will be diminutive. Investment is never a guarantee for a robust return, because it’s a gamble. It is a gamble worth making. Failure to invest will always equate to no return. No return means impoverishment of the mind, body, and spirit. That translates to poverty. Build success now and invest.
