If ,I understand you correctly what you are trying to say is the following:
You are saying that what makes someone a success is not so much the
knowledge but the person behind the knowledge.
You can be educated in all aspects of business, but if you are
not doing what you love, then that knowledge really does not mean really
anything.

Success is not determined by what you know but rather the kind of person
that you are. The ‘Quality of a person’ is more important than his / her education.
That is how I understood your post. I tend to agree with your paradoxical personality.
Someone can be very educated and still be stupid. What is of greater value
is what someone does with that education. They can take that knowledge and
shape into something amazing. Most unfortunately do not.
‘29’
Do you want to improve the world?
I don’t think it can be done.

The world is sacred.
It can’t be improved.
If you tamper with it, you’ll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you’ll lose it….

A good warning in our ‘technological age’. This sort of assertiveness has to be rejected
By all means. It must not strive to conquer nature, or other human beings, but live harmoniously with them.

Hope all is well.
