- Cindy Marler: Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me every day. I once heard someone say that American education is the only place where you get a diploma for serving time. Ouch. Guys, ouch. America is the only place where you can get a diploma for just serving time, for time well served. If you just stay long enough, you're gonna get a diploma. This is why it's important that education is not something that we are outsourcing the thinking behind. I love educational institutions. I'm in the education sector. But personal education has to be the forefront of our lives always. Whether you want to call it something trendy like being a lifelong learner, whatever you want to call it, but education is your responsibility. It's you educating yourself. On everything. Educate yourself on your doctors, on your community, on your laws, on the local laws, the state laws. But education is always going to be your responsibility. Don't live your life and receive an education just for serving time. Don't just serve time. And don't serve time in any educational setting. If you go into a children's read aloud, or if you walk into the DMV, what is there that you could learn that you didn't know before? Because you can always educate yourself, no matter where you go. If you walk out into the neighborhood, educate yourself on a tree you've never seen before. Look it up, learn something new. What about I was just at Liberty University of Virginia and there was this bug everywhere I'd never seen. I called it the Liberty University bug, but we looked it up. And what is this bug? Very interesting, guys. So don't let your life be a life where you get a diploma for time well served when it comes to education. Take your education into your own hands, any setting, anytime, whether that's in a traditional educational setting or just in your own home. But be your own best educator and receive that diploma of a life well educated. What if that was the diploma we gave people at the end? I'll see you guys tomorrow.
