Do We Really Need Education To Be Successful??? by mirexxx(f): 12:22am On Feb 22, 2015
hello friends,

I know many people that have had great successes in history and around me that never went to school.
There are also many brilliant and educated unsuccessful people.
I think education only gives us respect but with talent and creativity sucess is assured.
I am not saying education is bad, but do we really need it to be successful in life

If you mean formal education, no. But we do need some sort of education to be successful - I'm talking about skills. I haven't touched my NYSC certificate since it was awarded to me. I just locked it up somewhere. Best decision ever. Graduated with a 2.1 from one of Nigeria's top universities FYI. But truth be told, not everyone can afford to do what I did. Had a lot going for me already, so it was an easy decision.

I think, the only education that is effective and important is self-education

Uhmmmm.. Education and success? Well I'll simply say our success depends on our mentality, hw we can come up with good strategies to succeed. And yes education deals with changing mentalities. So in a way. YES.
Re: Do We Really Need Education To Be Successful??? by DanceVille: 5:10pm On Feb 24, 2015
Yes and No...
Some needs education 2 b successful lykwise some dnt needs...

Let's use 'Seun Osewa' as an example, he's a drop-out frm d University but see him nw, he has become a *Whiz-kid*...

It depends on One's Skills and Interests...
