Investing in the emergence of a readied and rounded workforce yields positive benefits 

Investing financial resources to help children survive and develop to their full potential is, first and foremost, a moral imperative. But investing in children is also important on practical grounds. It yields positive benefits to economies and societies. Since the foundation of an individual’s health and well-being is laid in early childhood, the most opportune time to break the cycle of poverty, or prevent it from beginning, is during that time.” UNICEF

Take action; be you; invalidate the bogus imitations of you and live in your productive purpose" ~ JDaCB.
