Education will decide if you and your family live a Happy Meal-Six flags kind of life or a Red Lobster-Disneyland kind of life. Education is a ticket that can take you from a neighborhood of despair, hopelessness and dreams gone badly to a galaxy of wealth, confidence and knowledge. More importantly, it will give you the ability to improve your world. Education will determine if you are one of prosperity’s drafts picks or just a walk-on hopeful. Time invested in an education is an investment in your future that pays you compound interest and dividends, better known as salary with stock options. Time marches on, if you choose to down play the importance of an education and refuse to invest the time, you will eventually be an expatriate from the land of plenty.

Education opens doors of opportunity that the uneducated will seldom find. Although the uneducated may look through the windows of opportunity, they will never have the key to open the door. When a man faces his mortality, he reflects on his life and his regrets.
