The accumulation of great fortunes calls for POWER, and power is acquired
through highly organized and intelligently directed specialized knowledge, but
that knowledge does not, necessarily, have to be in the possession of the man who
accumulates the fortune.
The preceding paragraph should give hope and encouragement to the man with
ambition to accumulate a fortune, who has not possessed himself of the necessary
"education" to supply such specialized knowledge as he may require. Men
sometimes go through life suffering from "inferiority complexes," because they are not
men of "education." The man who can organize and direct a "Master Mind" group of
men who possess knowledge useful in the accumulation of money, is just as much a
man of education as any man in the group. REMEMBER THIS, if you suffer from a feeling
of inferiority, because your schooling has been limited.
Thomas A. Edison had only three months of "schooling" during his entire life. He
did not lack education, neither did he die poor.
Henry Ford had less than a sixth grade "schooling" but he has managed to do
pretty well by himself, financially.
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE is among the most plentiful, and the cheapest forms
of service which may be had! If you doubt this, consult the payroll of any university.
