SUCCESS DOES NOT
DEMAND SCHOOLING
Are you ashamed of
your lack of schooling? You shouldn’t be, says James fox, because it is what
you know, not how you learned it, which really counts.
One of the
greatest intellectuals in human history, George Bernard Shaw, attended school
for just five years.
Henry Ford’s
formal education consisted of only a few years in a country school-house.
Al Smith spent
less than seven years in school, yet he went on to become four times Governor
of New York, and a candidate for President of the United States.
Cornell University
was founded by a man who never graduated from any school, Ezra Cornell. Cornell also organized the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
Subway builder
Same Rosoff never had a day of schooling in his life and reputedly could
neither read nor write. Yet he managed
to amass a fabulous fortune in the construction business.
Robert Fulton, the
Wright brother and Thomas Edison were all largely self-taught.
Experience is the
greatest teacher and the world outside an academic institution is the biggest
university.
