On one hand, it’s clear that we gain access to vast knowledge, specialized professors, networking opportunities with companies, meticulously curated literature, etc. We have the chance to acquire very profound knowledge.

On the other hand, aren’t there millionaires who never attended university? Aren’t there successful entrepreneurs who didn’t complete their studies? Aren’t there dedicated employees committed to their companies who lack formal academy training?

Of course, there are! IT ALL DEPENDS!

Do you know what it depends on? It depends on you, on me, on each one of us.

My experience has shown me that most of where you are and where you will be depends on the attitude with which you approach each day, the ability to set achievable goals and strive until you achieve them.

I’ve seen companies led by individuals without formal education but with incredible vision, negotiation skills, and problem-solving abilities. They possess thought patterns that break away from the “expected,” undoubtedly skills not typically acquired in universities.

So congratulations! Today is your lucky day.

If you want to venture into any sector, show your eagerness to learn, your willingness to work hard, your proactive attitude, your charisma, your empathy… All companies need profiles like that.

And remember, these skills are not taught in universities; they are habits we can develop in our day-to-day lives and for our way of life.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” (Aristotle, 384 BC – 322 BC)
