Self education is based on discipline and self motivation. Considered more beneficial than traditional education. Because it allows to concentrate on most interesting subject. Main benefits :
- Ability to find relevant information. The information available in internet is not easy to find useful data.

- Achieving impossible. What could be better than to turn impossible to possible?
- Self esteem and feeling proud of yourself.
- You can have opinion based on your own knowledge and not on others words.
- Study in your comfort time and place.
- Self care in form of better eating and exercising.
- Motivation.
- Discipline.
- Broader opportunities as result of deeper knowledge.

Benefits depends on what you study and how long time you do not loose motivation. In most cases surrounding people (friends, family, colleagues) influence study motivation in negative way. Because they are scared that if you’ll learn new things you’ll get more life opportunities and gonna move on leaving them behind. And in reality this happens all the time. Self education turning impossible into possible but that’s only for you, not for your surrounding crowd who procrastinated entire life.
Live. Study. Achieve impossible.

Interesting post. How do you choose the subjects you decide to learn about? Do you choose rather subjects that interest you personally or subjects that you feel will be useful for your career?
I choose subject which is good for career to earn as much as possible, as fast as possible. After that I’ll choose travel&history related subjects because it what I want to do in life. That’s because I don’t want to worry about financial side while pursuing dreamed subject.
I always found this hard, the Japanese way of IKIGAI helps to clarify in a great way.
Great post 😁
