In life, being successful is not a guarantee - it is an achievement that requires dedication, sacrifice, and the mindset to always improve. Furthermore, this philosophy applies most to business, as it is one of the most competitive fields of work. Many people argue that a tertiary education, such as a master's degree, is needed to achieve success in business, as the education that universities provide is essential to business. However, I disagree, as success is not measured by how much you learn, but how much you execute. The person themselves is responsible for achieving success; a university can be a useful prerequisite, although it is possible for someone without a master's degree to achieve success within the field of business.
