You will only climb higher after you succeed in your current endeavour. Without it you will remain a normal man and die to add value to the graveyard.

But don't you know that a failure or ten failures or even hundred failures are a step away from success, it is an indication that success is very close. This book is written to show you that success does not happen with a big explosion nor by luck or when you receive a prestigious US scholarship, but it is the sum of all the right things that you do to complement what you believe. The very fact that you are alive and are living in a free country is indeed a success. In fact, you have succeeded a million times but did not know it. After reading this book, you will appreciate that your day-to-day life is a constant success, and all you have to do is appreciate those successes and move on. It will cause you to put together all your successes and become a super successful person.
Download or read book The Privileged Poor written by Anthony Abraham Jack and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Download or read book College written by Edward Wynn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has actionable strategies on how to succeed without college education! We all know the adage that says that education is the key to better life. While this definition does not go on to tell us whatever form of education unlocks the better life, society has somehow wired us to believe that college/university education is the key to better life. So in essence, we subtly believe that without college/university education, we are destined for mediocrity in life. Do you plan to be a successful entrepreneur one day? Or do you just want to earn sufficient money to buy your own house and give your children good education? Whatever your goals, hopes, and dreams are, you do need to study for it and for that, you need to complete college. Did that shatter your dreams? Can you not afford to attend college for some reason? If yes, then the good news is that success is not just dependent on receiving college education. There are hundreds of well-established and renowned entrepreneurs who did not go to college, or dropped out of college before they could graduate. The fact that they could no longer get college education with their peers did not restrict them from pursuing their dreams. They still went after it and turned them into reality. If they can do it, so can you. If you are determined to accomplish your goals and are courageous enough to beat all odds, you can become successful without going to college. Not being 'formally' educated enough does not mean that you don't have what it takes to fulfill your lifelong objectives, dreams and desires. You need knowledge, courage, strength, perseverance, determination, commitment, and confidence to become successful and these things are learnt and developed from different experiences in life and not just college. If you are dedicated to your goals and want to actualize them, but cannot attend college, then you have landed at the right place. This book will provide you with all the information and support you need for achieving your goals.
