To go to School or Not?
Most people feel going to school does not guarantee ones success in life, but i strongly believe it does.
What is school? School is a structure or an avenue for learning. People of ancient times made discoveries but soon forgot them as time went on and so it prompted the motive to keep record on stone, paper, animal skin, or anything they could write on. Books are knowledge, expiriences and discoveries Written down on paper. It is this written knowledge that is taught in buildings reserved for learning which are called schools. Being regularly present in the building doesn't necessarily mean you are going to school, no, and so it does not assure you success, but learning what is being taught in the building does. For instance, it's somewhat considered that Bill gates dropped out of school, and this didn't stop him from becoming successful. This is true but you have to understand that he left a named building and not the school as he still continued to study books outside the building. He schooled himself. It's not the building that makes it a school but what is taught in it. A hospital without doctors, nurses and patients isn't a hospital, it is just a building likewise a school without learning. It's the process of learning that makes the building a school and once that is taken away, it's just a building.
Before you embark on any journey in life, you need information- about the journey. The studying of this information is called learning. Since learning can happen outside and inside a building, it means a school can be anywhere- in your room, the park, your kitchen etc. Anywhere. You can't be successful in any field in life if you haven't gone through the school of that field i.e. gotten the information pertaining to that field. And so you now see and understand that a school is a necessary factor to success.
Anyone that decides to start up a business without prior knowledge of how it works tends to fail. This is because he hasn't been to the school of that business, making him is a blindman in the terrain of the business.
You do not have to attend a fancy building to be successful, but you have to go through school to be successful.
