Prophet Magaya advises University students on how to become successful

Prophet Magaya

Prophet Walter Magaya has told university students that their degrees will never guarantee success in life.

At a service for university students yesterday he said : “Education, especially higher education is very good but it can be useless if not coupled with wisdom and leadership skills. The most successful and richest people in the world are not very educated. 

If one goes down the list of the richest people you will notice that they are school drop outs. If we are to classify the Degreed people and those with Diplomas as ‘A’ people whilst those who couldn’t make it further are ‘C’ people then we can conclude that, it is the majority of ‘A’ people who are working for the ‘C’ people. 

In other words it is the school dropouts who are employing the educated ‘A’ people. Working hard does not make one rich and neither does further education make one to become rich.

If the hardest worker was the richest then people who dig trenches or do strenuous manual work would be the richest people in the world. Furthermore, no employee has become rich to be counted among the richest people in the world. 

Go back to the above mentioned list of the richest people you won’t find an employee. Remember there is not salary that will ever be enough for an employee. You are only given just enough to sustain your livelihood so as to come back the next day; your salary dwindles by each day up to the last day of the month. 

The majority of the employees’ salaries do not even last for more than 3 days. Therefore there are limited chances, maybe one in a million for an employee to join the rich peoples’ list for as long one remains an employee. No matter how many millions the company makes and saves every month but the employer will never give you more than just enough to last a month.

The only person who can become rich is the one who comes with solutions to problems. He is a problem solver. He identifies the problems in the society and comes up with wise solutions to those problems for the exchange of money – thus, getting rich. 

To get rich comes out of identifying opportunities through existing shortages or problems. This concept falls under leadership qualities – thus, rich people are great leaders. 

On the other hand, it is also the education system that has led the world to having institutions of higher learning producing graduates who have the mentality of becoming employees rather than entrepreneurs. 

The education system does not teach graduates to become employers; hence they go out scrambling for the few jobs available. Henceforth, entrepreneurship must be incorporated into the education system.
