Education is still very important

I don't have the word "give up" in my vocabulary,l believe l can achieve whatever l want for as long as l believe.Doing CPA's from section 1 to 6 taught me determination.Since then l have achieved alot.
Am a strong believer who loves God with all that l have and to Him l give all the Glory for bringing me this far. And just cause l did accounts,l have not limited my life to that....l have now acquired an MBA in Strategic Management.
I am at a point in my life am doing all l can to apply the knowledge l got.I am a graduate with a difference. I apply what l got in my daily life.I distinguish myself from others by doing not just professional work,but excellent work with lots of creativity.My work demonstrates the paper l got....

I have not allowed education to limit my creativity,instead,l use it to enhance it.
Education that can take you places its the one that you apply...theory with no application has no value.
Its time anyone who is learned breaks the stereotype that learned people are only focused to do white collar jobs. Education is just a guideline,its not a means to an end. It also gives you a platform to prove yourself unlike someone else who does not have it and has to work extra hard to prove their point,they can do a particular job even without a certificate to show for it.

Yes we have stories of people who have made it in life without much education but its important to note,they got those ideas while in school.Good example...Bill Gates was a 2nd year when he got the idea of microsoft. Gates graduated from Lakeside School in 1973. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and enrolled at Harvard College in the autumn of 1973.Gates did not have a definite study plan while a student at Harvard and spent a lot of time using the school's computers.Gates dropped out of Harvard to start his own company....Please note he was in school when he got the idea........

So yes...its ok to be an entrepreneur but don't playdown education....Food for thought.
