Education ,knowledge and its power

I don't necessarily believe that knowledge is power, but it does offer more opportunities to those jobs requiring skills that are above a high school level. Now having said all of this, the majority of successful (highly successful people) were high school dropouts, college drop outs or poorly educated. Bill Gates for one, was a college drop out, and he's one of the richest men alive today. It is also true that no one can steel your skills, but people can and do stand in the way of how successful you can be. Even today, other people do have influence over how successful you can be. It takes just one person to believe in you and it is also true that it just takes one person to knock you down, especially if that person has influence over other people.
