Formula for Success:People plus Ideas plus the right resources


How to get started?

OVERCOME three clichés


1. “Timing is everything”(Take action during a crisis)

C = A nation’s attitudes & motivation on the importance of personal learning & applying it throughout life.

L = Personal reading practices & formal schooling.

E = The “critical mass” of a nation’s knowledge.

M = The socioeconomic forces driving business, government and non-profit activities.

GDP = Gross Domestic Product: The wealth of a nation.
