A lot of misconceptions have been made over the years about the importance of education in the life of individual in pursuit of success. Education as it is well known is a very important factor to attaining success in life. Education is not a guarantee to success but a stepping stone towards attaining success. There have been records of great men who didn’t complete their Education but still made the most out of their lives

This has showed that a lost of futuristic individuals who have been able to discover their path have excelled exceptionally well without education. Education is and will remain a vital platform to attaining success but not success in itself. It is a process of learning,one which includes self discovery.

True success is in self discovery. Educational in itself is being able to build knowledge on your prowess. Quite a number of people study courses they know nothing about or can’t even explain. What good can come out of that? Discover your prowess,build on it. There is a gap between education and achievements. Be the bridge that connects them.
