 Making Our Dreams Come True: Self-Education vs. Formal Education

  “Formal education will make you a living but self education will make you a fortune.”

This is a quote from Jim Rohn, one of the top 50 motivational speakers in personal development.  He is also one of the trainers at the top online personal development site, Success University.

When I was at school I wasn’t really that bothered about whether I got an A in Maths or History.  I was too worried about whether people liked me or not, where I could get the latest pop star photos or whether my skirt was the trendiest length.

Formal education seems to happen despite the student.  We come out with our varied grades and reports of “Could do better”, but somehow we get some sort of an education.  Unfortunately, going to school is never the choice of the pupil, it is a requirement.  In most Western countries it is the common consensus that you must go to school so you can get a job and earn a living.

Perhaps this is why most of us achieve only average results.  We are not doing it out of love, but because we have to.  It’s the law.

However, self-education has far more power because we only come to it through personal choice.  It is also our responsibility to take it on and achieve the results we want.  This gives us self-motivation and we are far more likely to succeed.

You will often hear it said that the secret to success is to emulate those who are already successful.

But is education for success really that simple? In order to effectively imitate another person, don’t you need to spend some time studying that person’s character and habits? Even if you can do this accurately, a process of trial and error would have to take place before you find the right fit for your purposes.

All the same, the concept is a good one. Learning from others is one of the best ways of accelerating your progress. The experience of those who have achieved their goals can help you avoid mistakes and make better choices.

How do you find these successful people? How can you discover the roadmap that will pave your way to success without the time consuming trial and error search?
