“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” ~Albert Einstein.

A formal education is designed to help people pass examinations, it doesn’t prepare them for life, that’s something they have to learn when their formal education ends.

“Education comes from within; you get it by struggle, effort and thought.” ~Napoleon Hill
