RE: Ok I get it, the education system is broken. What are you doing about your learning though?
This is some sound advice I can't disagree. I feel like people with energy tend to exert it on external phenomena that, frankly, they have little power or control over. And if they exert that energy to gain control over it, chances are small they will succeed. It is much more productive to spend that energy on making yourself smarter, more skillful and more productive. Focus on yourself and what you can do for yourself and the community you live in rather than getting fixated on the injustice and how the world should be a better place.
I agree with the above @snakiest, I came to the same conclusion after spending time and energy during the 2008 and 2012 U.S. presidential elections. I realized all the time I spent trying to get someone elected who would help to bring about change would have been better spent at a local level, going from a bottom up type of change.
I now spend more time on myself and what I can do to "be" the change I want to see. Not something that is done perfectly, but at the end of the day I am better off for it.

Hehe what you describe there is exactly what leverage is about! I happened to write a post about that too;

That was a good read! Thanks. I have further ideas about it that I'm planning to elaborate on in the future. =)
Would love to hear them!
