It doesn’t matter.
Nobody really cares.
Whether you spent your night burning the midnight oil as a watchman, working as a nurse in big hospitals, or woke up dressed in fancy clothes—a suit, an expensive watch, and driving a Lamborghini—it really doesn’t matter. Nobody cares, not even your kids. As long as you bring food to the table, nobody will question. Whether you sweat in classes for that degree, PhD, or masters, at the end of the day the difference is that you spent time in class compared to someone who didn’t—you are all the same with someone who didn’t go to school if the way you communicate and carry yourself doesn’t show a difference.
Show people the difference they need to see in you. Behave like someone who went to school. You cannot work hard and end up coming home the way you left. Put a smile on people’s faces so that when they see you, they will be happy to associate themselves with you. People love associating with learned minds. Wise minds. Hustle and let your children have the life you didn’t have. Don’t deny them the opportunity to grow wings to fly higher.
