Can education buy success?

I think you'll do better in real life than exam...

Now that's not something I'm letting my student knows or misunderstand...

For me, education will lead to success if you are willing to work towards it

But, education alone won't buy any success if you are the one who's not willing to do it

meaning of Success differs in each person

I see success in my life but people don't see me successful
People see me successful in my life, but in a way, i still feel im not successful enough

we are educated in many ways.. thru papers and formal schooling, through life experience, thru relationships and more

tuition is only a small portion in education and good grades does not promise u anything but it really helps to start a life

Nowadays parents send their children to tuition classes hoping that their children will score good grades. At school, children are over burdened with homeworks. Parents and teachers alike believe ...

Education is just a platform.......mindset is the key driving force

education gives you a place to start, at least a basic idea/glimpse of how big life is gonna be.
however, even tho you have 3 degrees, you still need experience to keep on surviving.

i couldnt deny that being an expert in a specialized field DOES bring in the money...hihih

people couldnt bull%#^* you

While the very basic in schooling is what you need the most eg literacy <otherwise
how to read? how to write ~ to convey what you want??how to know what is going on around you??>

I am a firm believer that all the paper chase is useless unless you know, how to implement it
in your daily life...at work for example...is IQ better then EQ? go figure...

The best of minds are not discovered at school rather its the outside world that shapes a person
for all the intelligence that they possessed..

success is learning thru failure and trying to outdo yourself to the highest level that is required for u to hv
a comfy life...

Once at school I got a schoolmate that ACE in all her studies..but she got to study 10X as hard as anyone else....we all thought that she must be a big shot after school..guess what..its further from the truth..a boy
that was deem as a nerdy person at school and was so-so in achievement ..is now one of a company CEO

schoolt taught us what is theory...the outside world AFTER school is the real schooling...that is where
all ur IQ is required

This is better then my dessert tonight. Thanks dutchy. As an engineer I already forgotten how electrons flow from point A to point B. In real life my job is to motivate 11 mortals to fix a screw to the wall.( One holding the screw an ten rotate the wall).

Oooh, not wasted. Hardware is also mechnical engineering.

MEchanical will never run out of jobs....

lawyer might lost job with e enforcer

accountant might lost job with UBS

but as long as thing move, fluid flow, heat transfer, mechanical is involved

Guy who invented wheel was a mechanical engineer. Not by some dumb forex wheeler dealer. The universe is in the state of motion driven by divine wheel. Who know!

ahahaa.... yeah...the circle of life

but another decade from now there will be no more mechanical engineer

but thermodynamic engineer, fluid engineer etc...

look back then...

degree in engineering.. all in one....

can wat...hihi...

all the big bosses wont know such technical details unless they themselves are educated and an expertise on that subject.

*God, its good to be knowledgeable!!!* hihihii
