Do college degrees really matter so much in achieving goals and becoming successful in life? Does it really matter? If it does, what makes it so special then?
Hello there, traders! Hello, amazing people in the crypto world. How’s it going?
I was listening to inspirational and motivational podcasts on Spotify this afternoon while I was answering some of my activities. Listening to it really helps me get motivated in life as I was answering with my school work. After I finished with my work, a friend of mine sent me a link and it was about a guy interviewing some millionaires about how they became successful and what advice they could give to the younger generations today.
Most of their advice is all kind of related to the thought that most of them were high school and college dropouts and then became millionaires. They shared that not all dropouts end up with nothing; everything depends on skills and dedication to achieving the goals that they set for themselves.
Here is some of their advice that really catches my attention and feels like it awakens and broadens my understanding more about how to be successful in life.
Do things that build confidence.
We all know and are aware that self-confidence is one of the most important skills that a person has because it helps the person to give more strength to themselves. Building self-confidence is not that easy to achieve, especially if we are not sociable enough to interact with people. But doing things that build confidence is a great thing to do. In that way, we can figure out for ourselves what we lack confidence in. And one of the things that help boost our confidence is appreciating and looking back at our small achievements in life, no matter how big or small they are. Because if we appreciate those small achievements, it encourages us to do even better.
Take the risks and get the reward.
On taking our journey toward achieving our goals, it should always come with risks, and we must face them. Success won’t be possible without encountering failures in our lives. We should always take risks and face those challenges and life struggles on our way because we know that after that bumpy and rocky road that we walk down, awaits the reward of the paradise of our success that we’ve been dreaming of.
Hard work. Persistence
In order for us to achieve the success that we have been aiming to achieve, it always requires hard work, persistence, and dedication. You won't be successful if you’re not hard-working and dedicated enough to achieve the goal that you’ve targeted to achieve.
Slow down and enjoy being young.
This is the most important of all. We shouldn’t pressure ourselves too much, as we also need to rest. It takes time to arrive at our destinations, and there is no such thing as a shortcut toward success. We should always take our time and keep everything slow and steady. If we go fast, we won’t be able to see much more interesting stuff on our way. That is why let's keep it slow and let's enjoy everything while we’re still young.
There are answers to whether a college degree is required for success in today's society.
"Some things are required, and some things aren’t. It is no guarantee of success."
As for what I have noticed, especially in our society today, degrees aren’t that special enough to get you the position in the job that you want, especially in foreign countries where these millionaires came from. But sadly, in the place where I live, having a degree is the biggest and most precious thing that we can give to our family and to everyone. It is the greatest thing that we can flex to everyone. Because having a degree is a success for them and the fruit of all their hard work. And you already know what it feels like to be in an Asian family (Not all).
"You can still succeed without one. Experience is the big thing."
Experience truly is the big thing. Some foreign countries no longer need a degree to hire someone because what they’re up to is the skills and experience of a person if they’re suitable for the position. We all know that when applying for a job, the first thing that they will ask you is if you already have experience with the job that you applied for. And sadly, if you don’t have any experience, they won’t hire you. And that’s the sad reality. That kind of thing always happens here in my country. The funny thing is that their standards are so over the top and the job position that they offer is not even that high-level.
Stay hydrated and stay safe always!
love lots :>
