It's all a question of timing, Eric. When you are young, certain things are taught you by your parents: love, compassion, independence, trust, curiosity, drive and ambition to name but a few. These things you will mostly have by age 4 or 5 or so. Those are the things you need to be a person of character. Then the schools take over and (attempt to) teach you things you'll need for secular life: math, reading, science. How and when you choose to use these tools are up to you. Or I should say MOSTLY up to you. You can implement any or all of the above, but there is another little thing at work here: society. People judge, and it's perhaps these judgements of theirs that hold us back. We're all intermeshed; we're not just little islands, but rather one big body of land called humanity. What WE think "should be" isn't necessarily what society or individuals think should be. So then, the job is to convince them otherwise. And that's tough to do; not impossible, but tough. And it's especially tough when you're young; people assume that you're "green", that you have no experience or judgement. And, to some degree that's true. With age comes wisdom. But, I've met a lot of kids who have a lot of wisdom, and a lot of stupid old people. Bottom line: you're #1. And you've got to make yourself act, think, and be that way. If the character given you as a child is good, and your secular knowlege is good, what you want will come soon enough.

cause there's something missing that they didn't know they needed to know. (a piece of the puzzle that makes it work is still missing).
