Some of us spend close to a quarter of a century acquring knowledge in school. Others spends more than that while another fraction of the population spend merely more than a decade acquiring knowledge in school. Although knowledge is very important for our livelihood, an EXCESS of knowldge might not necessary be in your best interest.
Ever wonder why there are some filthy rich people who refuses to live a lavish life? Ever wonder why they drive normal cars, eat simple food, scrimp, save and do nothing with that shit loads of money? They do that cause they simply know too much.
When you are an educated person, you tend to have a good understanding of how a business works. You start to understand the production costs of products, cost price of services and you start to realize that while you are satisfying your wants, you are making somebody very rich. Take a Nike shoe for example, it actually costs less than $10 when it is produced in China, high cost margin is due to the advertising and other distributing costs. The next moment, you get to know people in the F&B business and they tell you a plate of chicken rice cost only 50 cents when they are selling for $3 a plate. You next visit a garment factory that manufactures all those branded clothing and you start to realize that you once paid $100 for a piece of shirt that costs only $7 from the factory.
Thus with all the money and with all the knowledge you acquire, it becomes, NOT WORTH IT NOT WORTH IT NOT WORTH IT NOT WORTH IT NOT WORTH IT.............................................
Then you start to question, why in the world do I work so hard for money if I don't spend. Well, you are probably happier if you knew nothing.

I would say that people who know more will have more things to consider when making decisions. These people will be more cautious when solving a problem. Most people from this group will not be daring to even start something new. But those who have the guts to try and explore, and be prepare to fall, will be those who are successful in the end.
