Learning Without Instructors

It is possible for man to educate himself without help or support from others. In fact, when we learn the art of self-education (learning how to learn versus how to be taught) we will find, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our wildest dreams. Self-educated people are not dependent on others for knowledge. If they need a specialized skill, they know how to acquire it without dependence on authority. Unknowingly, people are promoted by their ability to learn new skills fast. Bosses may not recognize how people learn, but they do recognize the results. People, who know how to educate themselves have choices, they have the ability to advance in any endeavor.

The following people were self-educated, using projects as their education tool. Academic achievement was a by-product. Some never went to school while others did not go beyond high school. The ideas of these people changed the way we live:
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) born a slave.

Abraham Lincoln

Thomas Edison

Alexander Graham Bell

Wright Brothers

Henry Ford

Charles Lindbergh

Walt Disney

Chuck Yeager - First man to fly faster than sound

Steve Jobs - Inventor of the personal computer

Kirk Kerkorian - Hollywood

Before 1960, self-education was a highly desirable and acceptable form of education. When the astronauts were chosen, the first requirement was a college education. This eliminated the man who made space flight possible, Chuck Yeager. His formal education was limited to high school. From that time on, society no longer recognized self-educated people. Forty years later, it is becoming a lost art.

Your Destiny: “Through the Power of Self-education you can be anything you want to be or do anything you want to do. Self-education Power does not require money, fixed time or fixed life style. Options are extremely flexible. Rewards are unlimited. You can control your destiny”-Bob Webb.
