Billionaire Drop-outs

Most of the people who work for these companies are likely to have a diploma.

Oddly, though, the people who founded them never had one.

"Some of history’s greatest companies were founded by drop-outs, including Kodak, Polaroid, Famous Amos, Disney, Ford, Learjet, Bank of America, Motown Records, Whole Foods, Domino’s, Apple Computer, Netscape, Microsoft, Polo, Jet Blue, Dunkin’ Donuts, NBC, KFC, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Holiday Inn and Rolling Stone Magazine."

Also, a lot of our most fundamental items were created by drop-outs.

"Many of the world’s greatest inventions were developed by drop-outs, including the television, radio, airplanes, cars, motion pictures, the incandescent light bulb, the car stereo tape deck, the gas mask, the traffic signal, earmuffs, the game of basketball, the sewing machine—and many more."

The people with immeasurable wealth never finished school either.

"America’s first millionaire, John Jacob Astor, was a high school drop-out. America’s first billionaire, John D Rockefeller Sr., was a high school drop-out. America’s richest college drop-out is Bill Gates. Asia’s richest resident, Li Ka-shing, is a high school drop-out. Argentina's sole billionaire, Gregorio Perez, worth $1.7 billion, is a high school dropout. Spain’s richest resident, Amancio Ortega, worth $14.8 billion, is a high school drop-out."

It's quite inspiring to hear how people achieved their dreams without excuses, without limitations.

Just putting it out there :)
