"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." -Albert Einstein
Dr B.R. Ambedakar (1891-1956), who was the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly to draft the constitution of India had once made this call ("Educate Yourself") to a particular section of our society who were considered illiterate and uneducated. I feel this slogan is still very relevant to all sections of society as even today we see a lack of proper education, patriotism, self respect and civic sense among many so-called modern and literates. I want Dr Ambedakar to comeback and pressurize the parliament to include this in our constitution as a punishable offense for everyone who do not take this call seriously. The one thing I want to encourage you to do above all else is to continue to educate yourself. If you aren't of this mindset, you will never be able to be successful in long-term. To succeed in a real sense you've got to acquire an insatiable appetite for anything and everything having to do with your work, leadership, marketing and business skills.
What's more, the educational process never stops. It doesn't end after a certain job or achievement. Successful people NEVER stop learning. They are always on a quest to grow and develop themselves. This is something that can only come from within. No one can force feed it to you, neither you can buy, borrow or steal it from others. As Jim Rohn said "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune."

There is a persisan proverb;
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is simple. Teach him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him.
