SHINY EXPENSIVE BENTLEY DRIVE

THE BACKSEAT , DON ’ T YOU WISH YOU WERE THAT MAN IN THE BACK

SEAT ? ARE THEY ALL HARVARD

OR OXFORD GRADUATES ? ONE

THING IS FOR SURE . THEY ALL DREAMT BIG AND KNEW HOW TO ACHIEVE THEIR

DREAMS ..

Street smart vs . study smart

Usually , when you dream of making it big , you scout means and ways and take suggestions from your parents , friends , and your surrounding network . The first thing they would suggest is to get yourself the best college degree you possibly can . “ Go to Harvard Business School or Oxford if you want to make it big . Otherwise , you will always be a slave ”… is something that has been taught all throughout your childhood . Isn ’ t it ? Well , it is true , to an extent . But let ’ s see how many of the Harvard and Oxford pass outs have become a “ Steve Jobs ” or a “ Bill Gates ”? Well honestly speaking , none . It has been observed that it takes more than just a college degree to join the billionaires club . You need to have the knack for making money , determination , and knowledge . Above all , you need to be passionate about it . No college will teach you this ; it is something which is part of your character , your DNA . Being street smart is better than being study smart . Not to disappoint you , but there are more unemployed around the globe with good degrees than the ones with basic education . Anyways ,

bookish knowledge never translates well into real life .

Education is a must . Degree ? Not really

The important thing is to choose your goal and gain as much knowledge as you can about it . You don ’ t need a Harvard degree for that . Know the best practices , catch hold of the trade secrets , and learn the tricks of the trade to accomplish what you ’ ve aimed for in life . Be passionate about it and soon you will realize that you have become a magnet to success and wealth . Bill Gates , although a college dropout , was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about his work . His dream of revolutionizing the world of computers , and will to make it real , is what made him the man he is today . He made the brand – Microsoft – a household name , and became the world ’ s wealthiest person , without earning any high profiled college degree . Today , all the Harvard and Oxford graduates work for him .

Out the door experience vs . behind the door experience

Bookish knowledge helps you learn the lessons of the past . But does it prepare you for the ever-changing future ? We don ’ t think so ! Knowledge

gained behind the doors can never expose you to the changes and advancements happening around the world . It can never give you the taste of the challenges and hurdles you could face and how to handle it while you ’ re at it . But if you enter the world from an early age , you will learn and experience the flavor of success , failures , stagnations and various other situations , in real-time . There is learning here . Education will remain a significant part of everyone ’ s life . Schools are a must , for everyone . It is what you choose , thereafter , is what will help you write a new chapter of your life . So choose wisely and soon you will find yourself sitting in the back seat of that Bentley .

MONEY MATTERS

And it matters to every person working hard to earn it . Whether it is a multi-million dollar rich businessman or a manager in the corporate firm , they all dream of multiply their wealth each day . The rich still have their way when it comes to getting wealthier ; it ’ s the less affluent who struggle to make it big .
