Do you want to be truly happy? Do you want your child to be truly happy? If you said YES, then you MUST focus on getting the right kind of education.
Not what others think is right – but what YOU know is right – which may sometimes NOT be in line with public opinion.
By this I mean the kind of education that WORKS i.e. allows you to be happy, while being financially independent.
And in today’s world, THAT kind of education involves income earning (physical and/or digital) SKILLS acquisition.
I’ve been preaching this message for years. And I will continue to do so.
Why?
Because I know how painful it was to find that my excellent performance in academic schooling did NOT prepare me to succeed in the real world of my country.
I had to literally re-educate myself via intelligent creative income earning skills acquisition to find my feet and b3gint to achieve AUTHENTIC and sustainable success with TRUE happiness.
You Can be “Successful” and UNHAPPY!
For instance, many well schooled and highly intelligent/talented men and women today are grudgingly slaving away on 9 to 5 jobs that they DISLIKE doing, just so as to keep earning FAT salaries.
I have evolved beyond that point, and today, I DO WHAT I LOVE and get paid better by those I serve, to do it. So I’m truly happy.
I want to help willing others – who also want to succeed and be happy avoid suffering to find their paths like I had to!
Here are two of my recent Facebook posts on this theme…
Post No. 1:
Sorry Dear Graduate. I feel your pain. If only someone had warned you to enroll on the side for income earning vocational skills training based on your unique talent or passion RIGHT FROM YOUR FIRST YEAR IN UNIVERSITY, you would not be in this job hunting fix you face now.See how you’re now being told that unschooled people are better off.
For those of you still pushing your kids blindly through exclusive book learning, I hope they don’t turn round and accuse you of misleading them when they “graduate”.
Some People Won’t Listen to this Warning Unless They Hear It Said by a White Man
The most recent White skinned person I’ve found speaking this badly needed truth is Gary Vaynerchuk
Here’s one video in which he bluntly states the truth for all who are willing to listen:
Below are links to other videos of him speaking on this theme.
Every teacher I had in school said I would be a loser. I’m not mad at them for thinking that … it was just the time I grew up in.

This video (scroll down to watch it) begins with a short clip excerpt from a VLog by Ghanaian YouTuber Ekow Simpson challenging anyone coming from the Diaspora NOT to come “job hunting”, but instead to start a business of their own and possibly provide jobs to locals.
He also explains why he actively promotes EARLY Vocational and Technical education for kids in the school he runs, and how it’s helped many escape unemployment. Click here to open in a separate browser window…
