It was exactly 12 years ago, a 15 years young boy, when I joined my new office saw him. He was unable to speak in proper Hindi, he was just 12th passed but he was very humble and eager to learn new things.
He used to come to me and ask me, Sir can you teach me computers what you do?, I want to learn that things.
He was not basically from no educational background but I used to explain him small-small things and on that I used to tell him, I need tea from your hand because he used to make a good tea.
He was desperately eager to learn and wanted to do something in his life. He patiently see everything and learn from everyone and that is the reason he got promoted in the same job as data entry operator.
In one year he proved to be highly skilled in web designing and started creating a good website design.
He used to obey to everyone in the office and respect everyone and that was the reason no one try to stop him what he wanted to do. He used to apply his skill in doing some creative things and started spending time with creative people.
When I met him yesterday I did not recognize him but he asked me and thanks me for what he learnt from us in past and now he is working in reputed organization as an consultant and earning a good salary.
I understand one things, people blame I don't have enough degree that is why I have no good job but I am sure that if you have learning skills, honestly and dedication then college degree won't stop you to get the good job.
There are so many people in the past who has no college degrees i.e. Steve Jobs (Founder of Apple), Michael Dell (CEO of Dell Computers), Henry Ford (Founder of Ford Motors), Albert Einstein (Rejected from school), Azim Premji (College Dropout), Dhirubhai Ambani (No College degree), Mary Kom (Could not make her schooling), Gautam Adani (College dropout), Walt Disney (School Dropout), Kapil Dev (School Dropout) and there are many more.
So, there is nothing going to stop, if you willing to learn and want to achieve your goal.
