but what about the rest of the billionaires sir?most of them didnt even see the four walls of school. most of them started from the scratch? honestly their stories were my inspiration.i quit nursing and started my own business. you can call it a fluke with abit of luck but i think im better off making a living than going to school .i was a dumb a*s!

so wat is your point?

so wat is your point?

common sense will get you somewhere rather than being a bookworm?but of course you need basic knowledge

All I can say is that Bill Gates guy and all of them are just lucky. We can't all have the same future as theirs and importantly can't depend all our lives on luck. Just face it, even though you have an insanely high common sense, if you don't have a college diploma, society will just treat you as nothing. That is, if you haven't done anything big.

good share ts..

i know sir but their life stories can touch people's lives esp those ones that are loosing hope due to lack of resources. i like what walt disney said

"if you can dream it,you can do it -walt disney

1. booksmart or common sense?
-- Both (justified below)

2. do you think common sense is acquired or inborn?
-- common sense is acquired with experience and education. Being bookish may not result to intelligence since many can simply use "memorization" to pass as being a bookish person, but school and education teaches us to develop skills in understanding and looking at situations abstractly.

--A person who has gone through and seen many in life may posses more common sense than one who hasnt.


3. do you think everyone really has common sense? what do you think when someone say "BRIGHT MAN UNTA KA PERO BOGO LANG" does it mean he/she's academically smart but just doesnt have common sense?
-- like they say: "Common sense is not so common anymore". What they mean is, it is easy to get high scores in test and grades since most questions given at school are purely identification or objective and not analyzation and problem-solving. Thus, many people do not have the opportunity to practice their skill in looking at life with "common sense" since they're all too busy passing the course through memorization.


However, education is an essential component to having common sense. it may not have to be a high degree, but it is what helps develop the brain to look at things out of the box.

As for school being applied to work : "30% we learn from the classroom, 70% we learn outside the classroom"

talking about plagiarism!

you even didn't acknowledge the source!

now that's common sense

TS, moral lesson, manalamin ka muna bago ka manlaet. o tagalig palaka?

Grow up

I have been touched by Kerry Packer's life story, his one of the richest man in australia and his dyslectic (cant comprehend written words) and due to this he became a high school drop out. this guy made billions of dollars without depending on books. and alot more of successful businessmen didnt finish school. bill gates didnt finish college, so what do you think?is it really being a booksmart can get you somewhere or having a common sense which is far too common lately?

bill gates did not finish his schooling but he was on the honors class at harvard. he simply decided he can achieve much higher things on his own than waste more time in harvard. and he proved he is right.

common sense is what you need to survive.. being a booksmart is what you need to excel.

i am in the first option.
