Africa And Our "Love" For Education by seuncyrus(m): 11:13am On May 20, 2016 |
Why Masters And PhD? When You Can Unlock The Riches Of The World Without A Bachelor's Degree. Since I was a little boy,I remember in Lagos,Nigeria that we were always told "Education is the best legacy". As a small boy I lived and believed in this statement, till today I believe this statement. However, I still remain a strong advocate of the fact that education do not define the future of any nation or man. Globally today,one common mistake people make,especially in Africa where I hail from is that everybody wants to go to school. We all wanna have a certificate. But what is the use of thecertificate when it can't get you what you really want? People are so much in love with education today, that they keep doing all manners of course, programs and whatever. Many people today,always yearn for "I wanna have my Masters", "I wanna have my PhD", excuse me,keep quiet and go do something better. Today,I studied the world very well,I checked those who dominate the world in terms of wealth, but 90% of these guys ain't Masters or PhD holders. Some of them don't even have Bsc. But PhD holders are their subjects. Brother Bill Gates, our richest man in the world doesn't have a common Bsc, but you know the serious ones who go getting Bsc are his subjects, he gives them paycheck upon their PhD. Our brother who founded Facebook(largest social media in the world) and the 6th richest man in the world Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have a common Associate Degree. Brother Aliko Dangote,the richest black man got only Bsc, but you know he hires PhD holders to drive his trucks all over Nigeria. The richest black woman Aunty Folorunsho Alakija didn't attend no university, but she is all over Nigerian universities giving speeches on Masters and PhD convocation day. She is even a Chancellor at Osun State University. I can go on and on to tell you mighty shakers of this moment who have got no degree,but who pays degree holders. Sometimes ago,a survey was carried out about houses in Lagos, and it was realized that 90% of the houses are owned by illiterates who can barely read or write, but the tenants are degree holders. Your degree doesn't qualify you to be a landlord, it is what you can do!! Beloved, your degree is not your destiny, stop being boastful of bagging those degrees, it is your potential and the level at which you can think and maximize opportunities that defines you. Today, I am not preaching to you not to pursue Masters or PhD or any program you find good for yourself, but be sure of one thing, those things ain't a sure certification that you will be rich. We have host of degree holders selling iced waters. Finally, study yourself and do what's best for you. Don't be freaked by the desire of wanting to have degrees that doesn't determine destiny! Good morning. # SelfDetermination MakeItWhileYoung source : facebook |
