Thanks to Bo Sanchez for sharing this to us.

College Degree = Success, this is the most common misconception of all people. Although many would say that their success is because of their college degree I would say that it is all because of their skills and dedication on that field. For example, A successful entreprenuer wouldnt say that he became rich because he got a degree in the medical field, right? coz selling stuff is entirely irrelevant to caring people

with diseases. You dont study business in medicine, being an entreprenuer is solely due to your skills on dealing with people and convincing them to buy your product. Ok, I got sidetracked there a bit. Continue, many would end up not doing what they really wanted to do. Like for example, a student studies 4 years of chemistry in college because he wanted to make a substance that could make us breath underwater, but no! He ends up on some lowly high school teaching chemistry to his students and wasting the time he should have spent on researching for his dream(No offense meant for chemistry teachers). Many college graduates ends up taking on different jobs that is not related in their carreer and i would consider them unsuccessful.

Wait, why am I only saying the bad things. Well being a degree holder opens a lot of opportunities and a well-framed piece of paper on your wall for decoration. I admit, it gives us a chance to work for a job that pays well, well enough to get us surivive for the month and feed our family. But without dedication and a dream, we will continue to work for that job that pays us well and well, we're going to have a "well" life. But, take note that "well" is not equal to "good" and also "well" is not equal to "fulfilling our dreams"..not even close.

In the story, here comes a man that comes from a well-to-do family. They were well provided, eat well 3 times a day and living a "well" life. All throughout his school life he never showed an interest for school and he ends up goofin around in the bowling alley instead of class and dropped out. He then met one of his college professors there and the professor started teaching him the stock market. The stock maeket would have been too much for a college dropout but he tried nonetheless and got successful. And for 36 years, he built a company and earned millions for himself and now the college professor sits in the Board of Directors.

This is an inspiring story to those who havent got a chance to finish college or even start college. It just means that whichever path you are right now, whatever makes you happy, follow it! That is your success!Keep yourself happy and everything will fall into place.
