Diploma, Degree, Dr. or Drop-out?

I don’t think of all the above are essentially important, they’re just pieces of papers. What’s more is Determination and Discipline. Without these two elements you’re nothing. I’m not saying having those are not important but just depend on it so badly. They’re not your absolute destiny.



Just look at Bill Gates, he dropped out of Harvard University and cofounded Microsoft by the age 20, Mozart, wrote one of the best opera of all time by the age of 21.

My theory is, you should learn, and educate yourself all the way through your passage of life. Don’t stop learning. Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H once said, should thou learn even have to go to China, whether you receive the cert or not eventually.
I, nevertheless, can’t help consuming myself from jealousy to those who earn masters and PhDs and Drs, but if you act and behave like you’re having none, I respect you no more.

Most successful dropouts, like most graduates, continue life-long learning – usually training on the job, then taking courses that teach them to do the things they want to do. Graduates rely on their credentials, but as a dropout; on the other hand, you have to ‘prove’ yourself in different ways. Many A and B students are also dropouts. Many C students who drop out simply aren't interested in higher learning – they want to run a small business or work with their hands. They aren't interested in a college or university degree. And they often do very well in the trades or service industries. In fact, teachers often say “The A students teach the B students who end up working for the C students.”

Some people are very much concern about my education level. I’m touched by their concern but no thanks, I have my own plan and I have my own reason not to further (or maybe later). You guys out there don’t really know what I’ve went through and have no idea that what other things that differ me from others.

I would like to share with you guys who as bold as brass having DEGREE showing off to me they're having a piece of that particular transcript. (not all of them though). This article I've found from my cousin's friend's blog. Worth to share with.

Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge:



By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little:



By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more:



With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty:



master's degree deepens that specialty:



Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge:



Once you're at the boundary, you focus:



You push at the boundary for a few years:
Until one day, the boundary gives way:



And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D.:
Of course, the world looks different to you now:






So, don't forget the bigger picture:

You see, having a Ph.D. does not means you know everything, you're just specialized.



Education is very important. Major very. It reflects the way you talk and think, nevertheless, your maturity is not being measured by highest level transcript that you have. Well just remember, you just know something but not everything. Not all the adult can think maturely. Whoever are you, wherever you come, which universities you graduate from, how much transcripts that you have, whether you finish your school or not, and whatever things people say about you, as long as you did not stop learn and learn, you are consider as knowledgeable person. Who are you now or in the future is not being measured by your 4 flat result. Learning about life is not something that you can get from the books,its all about EXPERIENCE.





Ps: Hargailah orang rendah, ketahuilah bahawa sutera asalnya daripada ulat.
