The answer is B: the importance of receiving an education.

 Many people desire wealth and things they imagine would set them in a superior or better position, which in itself is not entirely wrong. However, those that want to achieve this goal and<em> </em><em>aren't willing to sacrifice </em><em>and take the </em><em>steps</em><em> to fulfill it, as this boy that </em><em>quits </em><em>the school, end up being sorry. The very thing he rejected (</em><em>education</em><em>) was what he </em><em>lacked to manage things better.</em>
