Eating the Elephant

It can be said that there are principles for becoming rich that are so simple they go unnoticed. Many people don’t believe that there could be simple solutions to certain problems. They assume that solutions are always complicated, and if they manage to solve an issue easily somewhere, they feel that something must have gone wrong. A tangible example of this is the issue of the harmful effects of smoking and the dangers it poses to people. You, like many others, might think that it is impossible to easily become wealthy given the current global and national economic conditions. You probably say to yourself that if it were that simple, everyone would already be rich and no one would be facing economic problems. Apparently, this statement should be correct, but the main reason people fail to achieve high income levels and realize their dreams lies in improper upbringing methods and the weaknesses of traditional education systems worldwide. The educational system in most countries is generally based on theoretical teachings, leaving high school and university graduates lacking the practical and necessary skills required to start businesses and earn a decent income. Meanwhile, those who are action-oriented directly enter the job market by acquiring the needed capabilities and start their own businesses. It is interesting to know that famous, capable, and wealthy individuals like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple), Richard Branson (Virgin), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), and so on quit their education halfway and made their dreams come true.
