The formal education that I received made little sense to me.

My father had very little formal education.

I felt the need to unlearn my formal education.

I started formal piano training when I was 4. From there I had little violas, and I had dancing lessons of every sort and description, and painting lessons. I had German. And shorthand.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
