Our parents always told us that for us to have a better future, we need to study hard and finish it. That is why, though it is not easy for them to earn money, they did their best to give us a good education. But then, I discovered that some of the most successful person in the whole world became successful not because they finished their studies. Some of them are college under graduate or even the were kicked out from the universities that they had in college. But look at them now, they were successful even though they didn't finished their studies. What is your opinion about this?

I don't think education is necessarily the only path to success, but it would help most people tremendously. It's true that some of the most successful people dropped out or were kicked out from school but what you have to remember is that these people are an exception to the rule. They have drive, passion, and a lot of natural talent at what they do. Keep in mind that the vast majority of people who drop out don't end up as successes. So it depends. For most people, education helps. But if you're one of those people who have a clear picture in mind about what you want to do and achieve, then it is not necessary.
