About This Quote
People often focus too much on the money or power that they can gain from their jobs. However, they forget the important role that education plays in our society. Education is something that almost everyone should have, whether it be an education in the value of hard work or an education in the value of selflessness. Education makes us better people and with that better people create a better world. Even if money isn’t everything, there is still no greater joy than what comes along with hard earned money earned through hard work.
