You have undoubtedly notice that many people with a Ph.D. degree aren't very happy, and some of the happiest people in this world don't even know what Ph.D. is. Education has little to do with how happiness ans satisfaction an individual gets out of life. Someone can have a fancy education, but still not be very wise. Book smart does not mean life smart.
Upon graduation, many university students believe that they are the elite of humanity, destined to experience incredible fame, fortune, adventure, and romance at an early age. Even the most brilliant of university graduates wind up going nowhere emotionally, financially, or socially. There is a big difference between intellectuals and intelligent people. Of course, many intellectuals have a hard time distinguishing between the two. Thus, these words by an unknown wise person : "Education is what helps a lot of folks get along without intelligence".
Study the behavior and attitude patterns of the truly successful of this world and you will see what makes them achievers and accomplishers. The successful people of this world did not learn the secrets of handling failure and inner mobility at universities or colleges. They learned these secrets in the arena called "Life by doing". A university degree doesn't teach people how to deal with pressures of life or how to attain happiness and satisfaction. A university student may learn what is wrong with the economy, but not how to make a comfortable living as an human or entrepreneur.
Intellect is not wisdom. To be life smart, your wisdom along with your creativity and motivation must be superior to your intellect. The really important things you learn in life are the result of the your real education, an education that has nothing to do with the curricula in place at schools and universities. You acquire this education through your personal experiences, far removed from from your formal education.
In certain ways, being life smart is nothing more than common sense. It is the ability to question things, and then take action accordingly. If you are thinking of going back to university to get a Ph.D. degree, be careful with the knowledge that you acquire there. Much of the knowledge will be useless in the game of life. You may find that it's harder to get rid of a Ph.D. than to get one. I totally agree cause knowledge is the important thing when you want to apply or get a Ph.D. Without knowledge you can't graduate and achieve the great success in your life. Remember that peeps. -xoxo
