Our public schools are designed to make people work jobs, not take risks.

And who's going to these schools? The rich?

If you look at who's an entrepreneur where there is no public education, you will see plenty of poor people. They haven't been trained to sit, obey and avoid risk.

I think the entrepreneur is the natural state of man. What is hunting and gathering if not a hustle?

For that matter, what is every wild animal doing? Exploiting every opportunity that comes along or waiting for some to tell them what to do?




Robert Kiyosaki covered this topic pretty thoroughly in Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
