Is education the most important thing that we must achieve in life?
As far as many people know, education is a MUST for everyone and it is the most important NEEDS that we must have in our life.

After reading this article, it makes me have a different perspective of having an education.
Does education keep us out or in the box?
From primary school to university, we got out knowledge for our lecturer and books. However, we did not experience or know more information of the course we studied because we are confine to the topics/syllabus that the school wants to teach.

Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to set up Facebook Inc. Harvard is the most prestigious university that many people wish that they could enter. The question is why did he drop out of Harvard? I've been wondering why did most capable people drop out of school. For example, Bill gates. And I realized that they did not do badly but their knowledge for that particular course(eg, Internet) far exceeded the knowledge of their lecturers.

However, what makes him successful is the education that he accumulated throughout the years of his education. With the addition of interest and self learning, he had become the world's successful man.

Cyrus Pishevar who grows up with technology even does his homework before working on his apps. This shows how important education is but also shows that with a chance to try out things that we had idea on, it helps us in better learning. Because it tells us if our idea success or fail.

In my opinion after reading this article, education is not the most important thing we need in our life but is a stepping stone to success. To be successful, we need education, personal interest and self learning. And we need opportunities to carry out our dreams/ideas.
