@Lohit,
I am not saying that education is not at all needed, it is needed, but point here is to consider that it is not the only source to get success.
Success may or may not come through education..

Yes this is right, sorry i took it to wrong way..
HI- All the quotes compiled by aastha say about "college dropouts" and who "never attended high school", they do not say that they never saw the face of school.For that matter even Sachin tendulkar is a high school dropout.

And, as there 2 faces of every coin, there may be people who, through self-education or perserverence, climb the ladder to success.

But generaly as Gandhiji said, true education builds character and this character is important for success.
Education is the key to success, that is totally true, but the big fact is that the person holding the key is the one responsible to open the door which leads to success. Education would not matter if we do not take the lead to follow our goals and make our dreams a reality. It is so easy to stand there waiting for something to fall down from the sky or something.
Education will help us walk through the big road of reality and resposability, also known as world, but it is in our hands what we should do with it and how to make it worth.

The future is ahead and every step we take will make the difference in what will affect in our lives.

Statistics show those with an education find themselves receiving more promotions and making more money. Although a good education is necessary in such a competitive world, it does take more than just an education. For example, I know several individuals that received degrees from major universities; yet, never used them. Those people really took different paths and I guess you could say that success is in the eye of the beholder. I guess it is all in the way you look at it. Is the glass half full or half empty?

Remember now and keep it ALWAYS in your mind: You are responsible to make the "key to success" worth it in the future because no one else would be able to take advantage of it but YOU!!!

But in real life education is not the only way to sucess i think it only cover about 25% of what makes poeople success. Abert Eistsein didn't finish high school he even drop out of it too. But as it turn out he was one of the greatest person to ever do some much thing. But that not all there were other great people who did great things that didnt even have to do much with education.

in the general term anyway. Education definitely can help in being successful, but not everyone that is successful has a Masters in whatever they do. For example, Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter) got as far as high school, yet he just stepped down as Chief of Def Jam. He made millions in that position. He didn't have a degree in Business but he made a way for himself and was and still is very successful.

people dnt need a master's degee to be successful, i was just puten that out there so people who feel like given up wont because they know they can get some where with knowledge of education.

" Education Of Parents Are 'Key' To Success..."

Some of my friends think like this......What about you???
I think education and economic growth are linked each other.......
"Education is the only key to success" This statement is true, but not completely.

Education provides a person with various skills necessary in today's competitive world. It enables a person to think logically, apply knowledge to his work processes in a rational manner. Many of my friends have cited examples of successful celebrities who are uneducated or school and college dropouts, but such examples are exceptions. There are many hundreds of thousands of people who are illiterates. With the choice of a multitude of professions available today, how of these illiterate people make an attempt at them and succeed. The percentage would be very less!

Education equips a person on various aspects that are necessary to become successful. It helps a person to conduct himself or herself in a proper manner. Education opens the doors to numerous possibilities for earning one's livelihood and also provides solutions to problems.

Take farmers for example, a well-educated farmer who is more knowledgeable about the various farming techniques, diseases that strikes crops, availability of better and viable seeds for profitable crops, etc. is likely to become more successful than an illiterate farmer who practices farming in a traditional manner.

Good illustration by Kalyani

Similarly, we go a hospital equipped with the latest technology,or to a specialist, well-educated doctor rather than a general surgeon.

There is no denial in the fact that true education builds the character and thus can bring success. But if there are many people who succeeded in life without having proper education, so there are many also, who had a good education but is nothing in their life.

All depends upon the definition of success, if having a 9 to 5 job with an intermediate salary is considered as success or a luxurious life with all facilities is called success.
