Resolve to pay that price and move into the fast track of the self-educated and successful in our society. Truly, there is little you cannot accomplish if you resolve to pay the price in terms of money, time and relentless commitment. However, the decision is ultimately yours. If it's financially difficult for you, see where you can make economies elsewhere. Above all else, get that essential self-education.
People are either in an expanding or contracting spiral of life.
Often though, they had to make tremendous sacrifices and work hard for years to get to the exalted level where we now see them. Unsuccessful people want it all now. They spend their money and time on things that don't matter in the long run. They take no risks and they never self-educate. Yet, you often find that they do have cash for all their little transient pleasures.
