USPJEŠNI LJUDI BEZ VISOKOG OBRAZOVANJA

Ova impozantna lista uspješnih velikana koji nemaju VSS (a mnogi ni SSS) dokazuje da formalno obrazovanje nije preduvjet za uspjeh te da znanje nije temelj uspjeha i sreće. Ono što katapultira osobu u zvijezde su određene vrline i vještine koje se uče u Životnoj školi. Znanje pomaže i svakako je poželjno, no njega se da pridobiti u hodu, kroz život, prema vlastitim interesima.
