the first place is naturally not bill? Gates is the only one who dropped out of Harvard and founded Microsoft, becoming the richest man in the world. Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer
Second, he entered Reed College for six months and left.

Time does not explain how to define their "success", but it is obviously based on their wealth. Today, judging people, saying that
someone's knowledge level, academic character, service contribution, etc. can't be quantified, so it is difficult to be used as a standard. Only wealth is tangible and visible
. You earn 1 thousand a year, and I only earn 2 thousand. Of course you are more successful than me. Your property is worth 1 billion, mine is only worth 2 million, you are the boss, and I only follow you.
The problem is that wealth is not the whole of life. An idealistic person may use his knowledge and skills to promote social progress and beauty, but the reward may not necessarily be money. It is more likely to be the enrichment of life, the inner satisfaction, and the sense of honor brought by being affirmed.
There is also a fallacy of "choice" when Time reported this matter. Of course, there are successful dropouts, but those who have received a complete education have a thousand times more examples and possibilities of success < P >. Just find some people to see: Newton, bacon and Russell are Cambridge graduates; Locke was born in Oxford;
Copernicus was taught at Krakow University in Poland; Madame Curie is high flyers of the University of Paris; Freud studied at the University of Vienna; Kafka studied at Prague University in his hometown.
Of course, people who drop out of school can learn by themselves, but school is still the best environment for studying.
First, Han Yu thinks that teachers' three tasks are to preach, teach and dispel doubts. The biggest difficulty for self-taught people is that they have nowhere to ask when they are confused.
Second, the mission of the school is to cultivate "the whole person", which will give you all kinds of nutrition, make you develop in a balanced way and help you become a leader in all walks of life.
Qian Mu was in charge of Xinya College in Hong Kong, giving students "general education" first, and then "specialized education", which was also his intention. Self-taught people are inevitably "partial eclipse", and when the burden comes, it is difficult to sustain.
Third, students can experience a more perfect "socialization" process by living in a group at school. Learning from teachers and friends is also beneficial to studying in Germany. A person who left
school for self-study would not have these conveniences.
in a word, some dropouts are successful, but not all dropouts are successful, especially if they have to drop out of school. This logical reasoning
, young people must distinguish clearly. If you have the opportunity to study at school, don't give up. Don't let Bill? The Gates Effect will miss your life.
In the book Why Children Go to School, Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oe believes that Chinese, science, arithmetic, gymnastics and music are all necessary for a person to complete himself, so "in order to learn these things, I think children in this world should
go to school at any time".
dropping out of school can be successful, but people who receive a complete education have a greater chance of success. Don't let bill? Gates missed your life!
