I always hear these words when i was a kid,finished College and you will be successful in Life..unfortunately i did not finished college,my Friends did..but i continue to learn things outside school, i read books of my interest,i applied it practically,because i think learning is a continuous process,they say College graduates are more successful than undergrads... Success i think has many aspects too,Financially,emotionally,physically,spiritually, some maybe successful financially but that is only 35% of what success means..College Graduate or not,i think everybody has the chance to be Successful in life..would you agree with that?Share some balance views...

Well, older people had their own experiences and wanted to share them with their children. Maybe it was true in their time that without college certificate, it was hard to find a good job and to be successful. And maybe in their time a success meant a lot of money. Of course, that kind of thinking does not apply now. As long as you set up a goal and pursue them,you can be as successful or even more successful than college graduates. And only you yourself can define what is being successful to you. And if you have found the answer, you will want to share it with your children, too. Well, hopefully your children will not blame you later on when they found out your definition of successful does not apply in their time.^^

Yes . i agree with what you said,the problems in the past,is not a problem today, like for instance in technology,medicine,health as well, presently acquiring knowledge and information in these days are so fast,the problem in health too,the incurable diseases in the past is not a problem these days,but new things always arises..Most books always talks about success, not too much on Failures,since Failure is next to success,it should also be taught,How success was made,and without this ingredients,perseverance,patience,hard work,and continuous learning of things and lastly Prayers...Success comes...Graduate or not everyone is entitled to be Successful in Life....It's just a matter of choice...

being successful doesnt depend or stop just being a graduate college student.Its about perseverance,perspiration and how you plan and work to achieve your goal.Alot of successful people didnt even graduated highschool but yet they reached what they want to be.Its always up to the person if he wants to be successful and not up to his education.

Success sometimes depends on the person's will to do it.if a person wants to be successful then he must see first his weakness and strength, learn new things,strengthen the weak part of his personality,focus on the plan, and work the plan...Education of course is the Key,but not the diploma in the university that helps ALWAYS, its the Education that you learned..and the ability to apply it practically and accurately, and the will to Succeed...

Having a college diploma is not a guarantee that a person will be successful in life. A classic example would be Bill Gates, one of the richest man in the world. He is a college dropout yet he is very successful. Even if you did not finish college you still have a very big chance to attain your goals and be successful in life.

Bill Gates did stop his COllege, but he didn't stop LEARNING AND EXPERIMENTING AND I THINK HE HAS HIS SHARE OF FAILURES TOO,that is why he is where he is now...FAILURES COMES FIRST BEFORE SUCCESS...Learning and studying doesn't stop even if one is out of SCHOOL....THANKS..

That is true!its the drive or will ,to do it...But education is always a key,i'm not saying that one must not go to College,its a must ,but some didn't finished College just like me,but that doesn't mean learning stops from there,learning is a continuous
process,keep on learning new things,especially related in our interest,that helps a lot...know many things,but focus more on your specializations.....thanks..
