We frequently observe people achieve massive

 in life without a formal

 qualification.
This
 is because not everyone is academically inclined and

School
 education is highly academically driven and leaves very little room for creativity and experimental learning. Certain students will struggle with
this
 because they are more practical in nature and less focused on academic learning.
Therefore
, they struggle in
school
 and do not achieve the high grades that their parents and teachers expect. They are labelled as failures and often

 is Mr Solly Kerzner who did not achieve much

However

 does not define you as a person
however
, failing to realize your dreams and not making sure that you take up every opportunity certainly does.
Success
 will not come by itself and if you do not have the drive and motivation to succeed, you will not. Some of the most influential people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Elon Musk paved the way for how we are living in 2022. All of them were
school
 dropouts that had a vision and made every effort to pursue their dreams which worked out very lucratively for them. In conclusion, it will not be your academic grades that will determine your
success
 in future, but rather your perseverance and an open mind that will make you triumphant in life.
