Academic qualification, ensure success in life

Hi Sudeep,

Here question is “Academic Qualification, ensure success in life.” First of all i would like to clear that there are lot of difference in Education and Academic Qualification.  

Education is defined as the process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment; Facts, skills and idea that have been learned, either formally or informally. And Academic Qualification is defined as A quality, Ability or accomplishment that makes a person suitable for a particular position or task.

If you are saying Education is required to ensure success in life then i am agree with you.... but if you are taking academic qualification and education both are same then I am not agree with you... since both are two things... as you have mentioned in your comment – “ -----  and this is complimented with the degree that they pass out with, which tells he/she is how much capable in that field, it is not necessary that a person with great educational background will do wonders and at the same time we cannot tell like a person with not so good educational background will not do great in his life each and every person has their own strengths and education helps them to recognize it and channel them in a better way for their own overall development and also for the society and the country as a whole....”  here you yourself saying that degree/academic qualification tells the person how much he/she is capable in particular field... means degree/academic qualification tells about strength in particular area... in another word you have told that education background will not do great in his/her life.... degree/academic qualification helps them to recognize a particular area.... but not ensure success in life....

Hello Sumita,

First of all here i would like to say that the topic “Academic qualification, ensure success in life” and the body text written by you both has contradiction in themselves. In what way do you see success in life... According to you what is the definition of success ???? is getting married and getting job is the success of life according to you ???? if it is that the success then yes off course academic qualification is required... but

1. The definition of Success in life differs from person to person..  different person see their life in different way... Success depend what do you keep your Goal in life... if you have set a goal in life and you get it then it is success.. and different people have different goal in life and to achieve those goal Academic qualification may not required.... for example if suppose one person has goal to climb the Himalaya and if he able to reach at top of Himalaya then he is success in life... for that Academic Qualification is not required... like that there are many person who has different goal and to achieve those goal .. i don’t believe Academic qualification is required.... what required to ensure success in life is passion, your dream, your action to wards to achieve it ... your skill... your calibre.. which decide success in life.. not academic qualification...    

Its an interesting topic to discuss with. Its very difficult to say 'yes' or 'no' to statement under debate. I would say that acadamic qualification is important to success in countries like India, but, it may not true when it comes to developed countries like USA where real knowledge is recognised and appreciated. In India, it is very difficult to see the people who don't possess qualifications, but, succeed in life. One may possess good qualifications and again may lack the required knowledge to succeed in life. I would say 'no' to the statement that acadamic qualification leads to success or is basis to succeed. What one require is the real knowledge and knowledge to succeed in life.
