Is formal education the safest path to success?

This is what most of us believe. If not us then atleast our parents believe that going down the conventional path ie formal education is the safest path to success.

Is it really the case? If we look at it closely, we realize that more children are in school and colleges than ever before. In older times, few got the previlige of education while today it is very much accessible. This means that many including you are getting the same knowledge as you and will be competing with you for the very same jobs which are few in number.

Clearly, formal education isn’t setting you up for any success. It is just making you ONE LIKE MANY.

This gives rise to another question. If formal education is not the safest path to success then what is? The answer is self education. The things that you learn outside the classroom. The things outside of your syllabus for which you won’t even get marked. Those are the things that will set you apart and give you a unique edge.

Self education makes you ONE IN MANY and prevents you from becoming ONE LIKE MANY.

You see the difference. Self education is the difference between success and mediocrity.

Take charge of your education and hence your destiny.
