| Having a degree is like carrying a bow and arrow to a gun and bomb battle |
Education isn’t the yardstick for success, but hard work and determination is. How does it sound that some of the world’s influential men and women today never saw the four walls of a school?
To be successful one needs to be creative in life. To know that which is your skill and how you can impose the skill or talent to work. All the most prosperous people in life you know today became what they are because they were inventive and put their skills/ capability to work.
Let's take the life of Aliko Dangote for instance, Dangote who is Africa richest man was a school drop out who was productive full with the determination of becoming successful in life and now, he is worth $16.1 billion. In the life of Mark Zuckerberg who is the youngest billionaire in history, dropped out of Harvard to promote his social media network. Now today he is worth $4 billion. Many others like; Steve jobs, Ralph Lauren, Henry Ford, Walt Disney and the rest of them were school dropouts but they had a dream, worked on it and never gave up.
So many people from my geographical area use the phrase "School na scam". Is that really true? School can be a scam only when you believe that you can be rich with the degree you obtain from school. If the individual that is imparting knowledge to you is not rich, how can you be rich? How can one be taught how to be a servant and become a master? Take Accounting, for example, an Accountant is taught to be money counter and not money maker, how then can an accountant become a millionaire? https://youtu.be/tIbaLmO2YZE
Please never get me wrong, to go to school is not a bad act but you can never be rich to the extent of your dreams. If your dream is to be a doctor or a judge or an engineer you can go to school. But if your dream in life is to make money and be known in the world, then the school is not for you.
The world largest package delivery company was founded by two young boys with a bicycle and $100 borrowed from a friend. If they can do it and make it you can also.
Creativity, capital, determination, strong will qualify you for the journey to be a millionaire.

That's a good one 👌
ReplyDeleteMotivational article.. I love this ✊✊
ReplyDeleteReally, to be a millionaire does not need you to go to school. But you must have a basic education, then commence development of the ideas you have, plan and work hard towards your target. Only then can you achieve your goals. The basic education the people mentioned above, was a stepping stone to the fulfillment of their goals in life. You can do same. Eben Dangote was given an initial capital by his father to make his dreams come through and he capitalized on it
ReplyDeleteI dont agree completely with you. It's true that gaining a degree isn't a yardstick to been wealthy. However, a wealthy illiterate would need the literate to run his business. William Gates, Stephen Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg are drop outs from Harvard. You can't be academically poor to gain admission in a school as Havard. Alikor Dangote today has a degree in Business. So I'll say we all learn to strike a balance. Financial "education" is a must have for anyone who wants to be wealthy. The wealthy educated far better than.
ReplyDeleteAn illiterate becomes an illiterate when he or she can not read or write. Most successful millionaires today later went for a degree not to get more ideas but to be seen by the world as a graduate. Every millionaire you see today is not because of his/her degree but his/her technical know-how
DeleteYou're indeed correct but i ain't completely accepting this. School is very important and necessary.
ReplyDeleteMotivational.......nice one
