پول هیچوقت ارزش تحصیل را ندارد

Money...never has the same value as an education.

This is a very commonly used proverb in the Persian culture. I think that it was a huge proverb in the Middle East while Christ was alive as well. I wish everyday that Americans as well thought this way. We, as Americans, put so much emphasis on how much money we have that an education can be had by someone and nobody even notice them...while the uneducation rich person can walk into a room and everybody surrounds that person because of it. In Middle Eastern cultures if a rich man and a very highly educated man walked into a room together...and it was known that both were such...the highly educated man would be more respected than the rich man...because an education is more respected on every account than money is. It is a wonder why the majority of our nations law systems...financial systems...community based systems...and even Religions come out of the Middle East. Because they put such an emphasis on their brains rather than their pockets.

Is your brain worth more than your pocket? I think so.
