Education is not necessary to be successful but it's important. Education is like a path to success. It drives you to the right path. During this path you realise your potential, you figure out your dreams and goals in addition to this the hardwork combined with smart work will lead to success.

It's not the most important, but it's one of the factors. Education helps you to differ between right and wrong. Education, experience and presence of mind lead to one being successful.

One just not limit education to degree.

It's one's ability to apply that degree into practical world, to make difference in society. If one just restricts education to degree, he/she could earn well, but not successful. Success means growing in your field of expertise, which will be possible only with the application of practical knowledge.

The people who are educated and successful are more than people who are not educated and successful.

And as Malala Yousafzai said, "one child, one pen, one book and one teacher can change the world".

I think we should first understand a difference between the type of education we are talking about, is it related to just going to school and college and being recognized by a university or kind of education in field of extra-circular activities in which a person has passion and can do well.

Education can be of many types. And it differs from person to person that what he/she really wants to enter into.

We cannot say education is important for success or not.

It includes various fields that can be just related to studies and related to finding your passion in something else.

A person chooses to study a particular course is education as well as a person entering into a field of their choice like singing, dancing, acting, any kind of sports. This all need education but related to that field.

We cannot comprise education only to learning and writing a paper and when you qualify, you get a job and thus you achieve success further in that path education is much beyond that. It includes anything and everything.

In my view, I think education is still paramount to success but what is needed to understand is that we tend to level everything about education to going to school, acquiring degrees. The term education is beyond that, for instance, Henry Ford had no higher learning education, but he was able to build a large corporation named Ford Motor, the question, was he uneducated? no, he was an educated man in his field. Education is not about knowing everything topic but knowing the basic things that count. And while I think school and getting degree is also important is it is a natural phenomenal for human being to stay in a comfort zone. I think, if there had not been the school idea, I think most men and women will still be as primitive as the apes. So in conclusion, education is needed, it is the base of intellectualism but school is just one of the means through which a concrete education could be acquired, Education defines success but school and high learning institution does not.

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.

I think rather than education we need the talent to be successful in our life. If you are not so educated but you have a special talent, it can also help you.

Education is all about knowing the things in a better way, having thorough knowledge on current situations, managerial skills, being unique & creative, understanding others, treating every human being equally etc, If a person is inculcated these qualities can be considered as an educated fellow & if the same is adopted in his/her field of work definitely success is possible.

No, I don't think that we really need the education to be successful. But apart from that, some aspect are there i.e. what really important for success or to become successful is HARD WORK, WILLPOWER, and DEDICATION with the help of this powerful tools a person can ONLY become successful. Am not denying that education is not important. But the meaning of success is vary for every person.

Education is a need or not it just depends on your dream ex: if you want to become a dancer who should be good at dancing not in education even education won't make you a dancer.

People with a dream which is not related to studies may face insults and many drosses in their life. It may be studies or dream (eg. Dancing, singing, etc. ) everything comes under your hard word your passion your performance and your love in it.

Life is once just live like yours, not for others. Education Is not mandatory even it can be learned without degrees by reading books urself. If people disgrace you don't worry about it just leave it or make those comments as positive.

Don't forget the people who succeeded in their life without education like Sachin Tendulkar, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Gautam Adani and so one.

However, work hard for your dream and ignore trashes which hurts you or just bury the insults. All the best for your goals.

Education is important for success because modern days inventions, especially in the areas of technology, cannot be achieved without education. Techno Logical inventions like aeroplanes, ships, electricity and numerous electronic gadgets that make life easy for people in the world today could not be accomplished without education. These inventions are nothing but scientific accomplishment which is engendered by scientific researchers. A rich man who is successful may hire an educated person to assist him in the company or business that he establishes but the fact is that he lacks the knowledge to control his enormous wealth, so he feels a yawning gap in his life. A common saying that if education is expensive try ignorance. So we need education in order to be fit in the society. I hope I have been able to brain feed you and not to brainwash that education is important for success.

If you say that education is really important for success then what can you say about the politicians and our great cricketers the can earn crores.

Some politicians can earn through bad means like corruptions but cricketers, they are given a huge amount of money by brands, sponsors, etc.

I don't know why educated people can't understand this problem. Where is the money coming from?

Friends this money is coming from our pocket like when we watch their ads, their live matches on TVs, or when we go directly to the stadium for watching their matches.

Have you ever seen any cricketers thanking the crowd by saying that when the crowd cheered so we got the confidence to score more?

Instead, they tell about the pitch conditions, team coordinations, training, efforts given toward the match, etc.

We really should think about this seriously.

Hello guys! My name is Sushama Meenaga.

Yes, education is very important in our lives but to be successful education is not important. For example, if a student has completed his class 10 and class 12 very hard. If he is not interested in further education, does it really means that he is worthless!

NO.

Nowadays, the Military and Army forces are taking the people who are good in sports and with a basic level of education. Because of these forces now our country is safe and secure. In many rural areas, they don't have schools to teach what is education?

In these cases, students try to keep their interest in sports. There was a lot of competition in sports too. For every specialised category, there will be mentioned in the form of sports category.

I conclude by saying that education is not necessary to be successful.

Thank You.

Yeah. Obviously, I think education plays a major role in anyone's successful life. Nowadays life becomes like a hell without education. Education is used to learn us how to respect others, how to talk to others and how can you make yourself like a good human. And one more thing is that to be a successful and richest person even you don't need only be well educated but you must need to be dedicated and determined for that. Yeah, I know many entrepreneurs are not well educated like Mukesh Ambani, ratan tata and bill gates who dropped his education life. Instead of this these, all are among richest person but I supposed to know you that their big companies can't run without well-educated employees like engineers. So I conclude that without education you can stand your empire but can't reach this at the top without educated employees.
