Sir,

As you may be knowing that academic excellence is not the only thing to ensure success in life. After schooling, college, University, etc one has to pass through lot of other trials and tribulations practically as life has its own Examinations which requires qualities of perseverance, discipline, hard work, iron will, etc

The guys may not have been through formal education but have the creative urge in them and are able to think out of box..Education is just a facilitator..In case we are able to exploit it to sharpen our wit then we can succeed

Would like to add the Global giants who are surviving in the 21st century without a formal degree!

Extra Ordinary people will succeed with or without Schooling. Majority of the people in this world are not extra ordinary. Superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi did not have to go to school to learn the ball movement in a collage. Nor Labron James or Michele Jordon need a collage degree.
Let us face the fact that average person to achieve moderate success needs all kinds of help. They need a collage education to get a foot in the door. You need a leg up from your bosses, parents, friends just to achieve a reasonable level of comfort.

Let us not delude our children with the story of rare success without collage degree.
Our children need the wise counsel of education as required prerequisite of success in a career. Hard work has paid for us where ever we go. In India, US, Uk or any part of the world.

Even the greatest Basket ball player Michael Jordan finished his basketball career went back to collage to get his degree. When asked why he needed a degree, he answered that he as a role model wanted to people to have that collage education.

Sir,

Education is important, but Education is not the only important thing for one to succeed in life. Having a mere degree is of no use for one to succeed in life, unless he has a burning desire in him to enrich his life. Opportunities are abundant and one with urge, even without a degree, will certainly excel.

Walt Disney, for example, didn't graduate from college or high school and was enormously successful. He had the ambition and the motivation to press on and it paid off. He is now a role model to others
“Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (/ˈdɪzni/;[SUP][2][/SUP] December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American business magnate, animator, cartoonist, producer, director, screenwriter, philanthropist, and voice actor. As a major figure within the American animation industry and throughout the world, he is regarded as a cultural icon,[SUP][3][/SUP] known for his influence and contributions to the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As a Hollywood business mogul he co-founded, with his brother Roy O. Disney, Walt Disney Productions, one of the major motion picture production companies in the world. The corporation is now known as The Walt Disney Company and had an annual revenue of approximately US$45 billion in the 2013 financial year.[SUP][4]”[/SUP]

Education is important..But the not so successful people who are educated should have an open mind to learn from those who are uneducated but successful..May be some of the traits or facets will help them in the long run
