I Love My School But . . . | Abdulmoiz Shahzad | TEDxAlShohada


I love my school or at least that’s what
to say school is the only one place in
the world where you can sit down and
stare at a blank wall for eight hours
straight every single day for almost 12
years and still be interested in that
bland white wall school is the place
where many of us write our first
sentences read our first books but but
school schools missing something
something’s so important that I dare say
that it could change the world and lives
of literally millions of people around
the world but before I get to this
world-changing idea let me explain
something this is sp this what you’re
looking at here is approximately 100
percent of the educated world employees
self-employed business and investors
divided into four categories so the
first two categories are ninety percent
of the people and business and investors
entertainers are only ten percent but
even with ninety percent of the people
in the first two categories the only ten
percent of the wealth or business and
investment owns 90 percent of the wealth
so either I wrote something wrong or
something this doesn’t really make sense
but it actually does because if you look
at the most common thing between
employees and self employees it’s that
their time equals money it’s like a hand
pump you’re pushing a hand pump and as
long as you’re pushing it
are you getting a return of money 100
percent of your time is 100 percent of
your money
but if you look at the most common thing
between businesses and investors their
money isn’t depending on their presence
like a businessman he would own hundreds
of people to press the head
come from he’s not sitting there
pressing it for himself he has others do
it for him
so one percent of his time will equal a
hundred percent of an employee’s and an
investor he uses his money and his money
starts working for itself he puts his
money and other people start working for
money and he starts going like a planet
now let’s talk about job jobs like the
word J OB all of us from the time they
are kids a little to the time they’re
going off to college we tell them go up
and get a job get good grades get it off
go to college get a degree and get a job
why are you telling them to get a job
because no one with a nine-to-five job
ever bought the biggest house no one
with a 95 job is ever going to buy an
island because with a job you’re just
over because with a job you’re pumping a
hand pump for most of your time and the
little run of money that you’re left
with is used in expenses and then more
expenses and then the little amount of
profit that you have made is using
luxuries and wasted for most of us right
so now why are we telling our kids to
get jobs why is school telling our kids
to get tops the school teaches you one
thing and that’s the word pair mentality
it takes away to your creativeness your
uniqueness your self intelligence and it
makes you a worker it feeds you
information and I remember a few weeks
ago my sisters they started making up
they started using glue and paste
they made putty and they started selling
putty in school and they made a bit of
money from that but then schools shut it
down they said you cannot sell here
anymore this is not a business place
they’re not to sell in school anymore
they’re shutting down small starters
that the kids are starting on their own
and this even happens at home imagine
born Buffy as a little kid and he goes
up to his daddy he’s like dad
once and when to invest and dad tells
him to shut up and go and study to get
better pace so he can be an engineer
when he goes up but he became an
investor now he’s one of the richest
people in the world with a net worth of
over seventy billion dollars the reason
why millions of people don’t become
investors and businesspeople is not
because business is hard it’s not
business you need to get lucky to become
a good investor it’s because we’re never
caught financial literacy in school
that’s Robert Kiyosaki says and we’re
never encouraging our kids to become
financially literate teaching and money
and how to use it teaching them about
business and taking it away from
becoming corporate slave to a person who
can run people so I’m not saying that I
want like a thousand little kids with
button-down t-shirts working on their
startups I’m talking about introducing
the entrepreneur mindset to today’s
modern school teaching students how to
become more of an entrepreneur than a
worker breaking that worker mentality
and even in the worst case scenario when
a student does become a worker with an
intrapreneur mindset that’s a better
worker than a worker who only knows how
to pump a hand pump because a worker
with an intrapreneur mindset knows how
to run a business he knows how to
increase the success rate of a business
and I want you guys to help me and help
everybody else and teach financial
literacy in today’s modern school that’s
my idea
