According to me, formal education that is taught in educational institutions is not important for being successful. However the education that one acquires from observations and personal experiences is what is the key factor for success. Michael faraday never went to school but his laws are taught. So his input was not termed as education but output is termed so. This shows that there is a need to redefine the term education. If the conventional formal meaning is taken, it has no relation to success. But if we consider golden observations and experience as a person's education then definitely success is directly propotional to this 'education'.

Yes, education is the key to successful as it makes us aware of what is right or wrong. Education is not limited to book. People give most common example that bill gates. Jukerburg all are successful with college dropout. But one cannot define success with money. In my view all those are successful who achieve their desire, goals, target, happily, with good health. True Education also teach us to be unbiased, loyal, kind to every individual.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, education is not mandatory to be successful. However, education is necessary but success is a different factor for which you need talent and hard work. Akbar was illiterate however he was successful. A farmer has inherited talent of farming and some do the course of farming still that farmer also successful. Education is the path by which everyone who has the willpower to do something can be successful but it should not be for the degree or just to say.

So education is not really needed to be successful.

I Google both words, EDUCATION and SUCCESS to understand their meanings deeply.

EDUCATION is a process of receiving or giving systematic instructions, especially at school or university.

SUCCESS is the attainment of wealth, respect or fame in the society.

When I graph these two words, they tend to have a point of intersection. To be successful, one has to have a goal to accomplish. And if one's goal is to achieve wealth, position or fame he/she must learn and practice the systematic procedures to achieve their goal, either in a formal training or from a personal mentor/s.

Hello everyone, according to me, education is necessary to become successful in life because it helps in improving our skills and knowledge that how the business will run for a long period of time very effectively and efficiently. Education also improves our way of talking, presenting and our thinking ability.

In our country, around 40% peoples are uneducated resulting they are poor and didn't get the employment so education is necessary to become successful.

Education is a key factor of our life. It is important in everyone's life. If we compare an educated one over uneducated then we see the difference between them. Education gives us moral, Education is not only that what we read in books but also it is the moral values which are very important in our life. How to live, How to behave, How to talk. All these we taught by our parents or teachers comes under education only. And without morality, good behavior, you cannot be successful in your life. So, in my opinion, we really need the education to be successful in our life.

I believe that yes education is very important in one's road to success. When someone takes examples of famous dropouts, Bill Gates and Mark, they fail to mention that they studied for two years in Havard and they learned a lot many things. They were naturally brilliant, true, but their knowledge was diversified only through education. They left the college because they couldn't wait to present their ideas to the world.

Sachin Tendulkar is another dropout, but for him, the school was cricket ground, and he never took a day off from it. One needs education mixed with hard work to reach new heights of success.

NO. I don't think that education is needed to be successful but it is a factor required to be successful. To be successful we need the skill, talent, Hard work & smart work not always education. There are many persons like Sachin Tendulkar who is not much qualified but still, he is successful in his life. So overall education is partially important to be successful.

Education is not the key to success although it's still important in our lives, the key to success is God, the bible says to ask you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened for you. Why most people don't understand this it's because, as we grow up we have been given the thought that there's no such thing as a miracle, scientists and their theory, but the bible tells us that we have two kinds of wisdom, Which is spiritual wisdom and human wisdom which is said to be evil and demonic. God will only be the key to success if you believe in him and if you put your whole faith in him. God is the key to success, as you can also see that all the prophets in the bible where wealthy. God is the key to success honestly not education. We have a lot of people who are qualified but still are jobless and also remember that prosperity is not in the bank account but it's in your mind, let the poor say I'm rich, let the lame say I can walk.
