Nowadays, most people love to read books that talks about how a person become successful in life or how a person become a better person and so on. They want to know their story so that they can inspire themselves to become like that one person who inspired them. We want to be people like Albert Einstein or like Bill Gates or even people like Mark Zuckerberg. We want to be like them. Successful in life and have money that probably will last for a few generations. We like to hear stories about them dropping out of school and not study and get rich. We like to hear stories how much they did not succeed in their teenage life and become one of the most influential person ever in the history.
Let's get back to the reality and set the facts right. First of all, Albert Einstein, if you do not not know who he is, is one of the greatest scientist of all times (probably after the apple dude guy. *really hope durian falls on his head*). Albert Einstein actually did not ever drop out of school or sucks bad time in math or needed his wife to do the math for him. He is already a genius in school.
Yes, it is true that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg did drop out of school but they can afford to do so. Because they have the brains to do so. They are actually too smart for the school. It's not that they failed in their exam and got expelled. They simply just say school is boring and i could make billion of dollars right now rather than paying to the school. Not a good investment probably.
So, it doesn't mean education is nothing. It's not "not helpful". These people have learn way ahead of what they are supposedly to learn. They work their way to success. It's not that you are stuck in your miserable school studying. It's that you are actually building your way to success. It's your story. A story that you will tell yourself and be inspired because you are great in your own way.
