Think about this: school helps you to build connections, shapes
your mind, gives you credibility, offers you access to resources
and affords you an environment to make mistakes. All these
will ultimately help you to start, manage and grow a business
successfully.
Do you think that managing your own business is easy?
Have you met entrepreneurs who work 80-100 hours a week? If
you cannot handle studying - by far the easiest major
undertaking of my life - what makes you think that you will
succeed in business?
There are alots of Harvard MBA graduates in New York stock
exchange, many works as top MD and CEO in financial insitution
around the world, but look at what had they done so far, a
meltdown...there are 2 different school of thought at harvard, one
said that a CEO need only to answer to shareholders, the other said
that a CEO need to answer to all stakeholders. They cannot even
decide which to follow.
Then came a man who was a drop out from the university, he
became the top businessman and entrepreneurs of our times, Bill
Gates, he said a CEO must answer to shareholders, all
stakeholders and the society. With this mindset, he gains success
and recognition around the world. So, education sometime only make
a person more proud and think he is better and smarter than others,
so he refuse to listen to others, and that is a very very weak
point.
