Start breaking your inertia.

Education is not just about top grades from formal schooling in branded institutions, and tuition cramming for limited and generic national examinations.

It's learning everything about life as it changes unexpectedly, and becoming good enough in all trades when needed.

Wealth is not merely your material possessions and enjoyments, from driving yourselves persistently overtime, doing work for others under monolithic unfeeling systems, so as to eat too much, shop to clutter, and travel foreign places away from boring familiarity, partaking in long queues, waits, blind commute times and other wasters, paying through the nose to stay in re-used luxurious crammed quarters.

It is positive emotional richness, rejuvenating uplifting spirituality, of the basic, essential, natural, ubiquitous, of spontaneous laughter, play, conversations that draw forth the infinite and eternal, even from many difficult limits and constraints
