Academic Qualification Cannot Ensure Life Sucess
Do you have iphone or ipad? I believe that even you don’t have one you also know Steve Jobs, the father or the symbol of Apple, the computer firm, he founded, lost, and then regained. Do you think he is a successful person? I do. Do you think your parent who raise you to be who you are today are successful person? I do.

For some people it is having a lot of money, for others it may be having the time freedom to play golf once a week, and for others it may be raising their children to be "good people" or having a large group of close friends.

I heard it million times. You might not sure about it but you saw a good portion of adult did.

As I do a simple searching in Google, I found that there are about 200 million results for the term “got degree but no job”.
