Your abilities to have excellent academic records does not prove very effective that you are also capable to level up your strata of living condition.The ability of a person to strive hard to achieve what he wanted in life is a proven method as what are in the minds of millionaires are thinking.You can also apply that to your daily routine to become a millionaire by drawing a money a house and lot full of appliance you wanted to have.Then you have to see it everyday and also have some prayers that you could become a millionaire.Do it and I am sure you could achieve it.

Are you ready for the possibility that you could become rich or you might be a millionaire?Just stick to your wish and it will be granted in the near future.Keep vigilant about its outcome to your routines everyday because it could make you aware of its consequences once you apply it to your daily needs.As long as you are realistic and very determine then you will succeed.

It can help you measure excellence but there are many factors such as socializing and luck. There's really no way to measure excellence in my opinion.

Partially true but then again we don't also interact just in school and the schools these days (or at least the ones in my state) are too focused on self esteem and it turns many of the kids into jerks because they're full of confidence.

School cannot completely meassure one's excellence. Yeah, they can measures our memorization skills and ability to remember certain things in the subject. But not our ability to earn ourselves money or our ability to survive in the society. I won't worry if I'm a drop out as long as I know how to make money, that's okay for me. The school is merely there to feed our brains with knowledge and intelligence. But the creativity and imagination is already in us. The abilities to read money, see opportunity, creativity and imagination plus personality and mindset are our tools to make us millionaires. But most do not know how to use those things to their advantage especially the imagination and mindset so you'll see lots and lots of employees around getting into debts until they don't know how to pay them anymore. Those dropouts can read numbers. They've also learned the rules of those people who became successful in life. They had their reasons and seemingly impossible to reach goals and mindset. They have the motivation and determination. They are creative and imaginative enough to solve their problems in money. And they know how to keep their money and make it work for them. No wonder they became millionaires--I hope I can be one too.

Yeah, you are right, I think people exaggerate too much the importance of a college degree, nowadays people don't invent new things anymore, they tell us what and how to think at school, its unfair

There is one thing that I know about school if not as a "place of learning". It's that they produce employees not employers.

No, going to school is not a way of measuring excellence but just a way of getting exposed to more knowledge that you may need later on in life. Success depends on your determination and how you work hard towards achieving it.

While it is plausible to be extremely successful after dropping out of high school, it is highly inadvisable. Drop outs usually have to work much harder to earn a greater amount of money than someone who didn't drop out. As for measuring intelligence, school just promotes the growth of intelligence, rather than retard it.

yeah, you are right your answer is well reasoned
