When did you actually started working?

Try to recall, how we, as middle-school kid, look at primary school homework. Pretty easy huh? 1+1=2, 2x3=6, etc.
Now try to compare the assignments of University students to high school homework. Piece of cakes, yes? not even close to 500 words per day and u can skip most of them and still manage to get through high school!
If you are working, now compare the workloads on busy months to the assignments on University. Hah! Those kids won't survive 1 month of 12-14 hours working continuously!
They all getting harder, and longer, aren't they?
You are being prepared for normal life, through education, by giving you harder and harder workloads, and at the end, giving you a certificate that basically said "congratulation for not fuking sh!t up for 12-16 years, you are now eligible for society!".

Dreams are good. But remember the cold hard facts and statistics that scientists have gathered:
- 80% of new companies collapsed after 3 years.
- The success rate of new business increased with the experience, enthusiasm and connection of the founders, which peaked at 35 years old and 78%

So yeah, welcome to the crowds, you are not that special.
Don't idolize guys/girls who start their business at 20s, big possibility that you won't hear from their businesses 3 years after. Or guys who "recalled" they have glorious businesses years before but now they are just normal employees.

 

that's my boy, live fast, die young, smart for his age

 

All you have to do is to visualize his future without being educated now.
There is only a few people like Bill Gates among 6 billion human being nowadays.
I regret that i could aford the studying when i was at college / university.

 

when I get bored of playin'.
Well, youth can't wait

 

Maybe your brother has different vision for the future. Every one has own thinking and acting. No one can obiligate the others. You should give him advice rather than shouting or complain. I hope you will become a nice guy!

 

T.T What kind of grammar is that ?

Just saying, this sounds like me. People do occasionally say that I am too smart that it isn't even fair for me to slack off and get the same mark as them. (I used to get top marks back in secondary when I was still being pushed. But after that when my parents are not around I just stay comfortably in the middle) But look at where I end up now ._. So yeah, being smart is one thing, and being passionate is another, but you just can't be Bill Gates. Qualifications are extremely important. Even Bill got a good timing as well, I suppose he wouldn't do half as good if he were to do what he had done just a few years later. Now I regret not getting better marks for university application, my only qualifications are English-related.

And btw, reading a post with no capital letter is even harder than reading a post with no full stop, perhaps because capital letters are more obvious.

 

sometimes i feel like we should revert back to the indian caste system

 

Around Sep 2011. I like games, I chose programming and let me give you this advice: be creative and go for "operation/designer". Progamming is nice to know but too much to handle.
Well, in my case at least. Now I'm happy as a operator, more paths to choose (specialist, content design, or even product manager)

 

Good boy. Carry on with what you're doing. Plus, you wont fail at school, dont underestimate yourself. You're almost through.
Plus, dont let the news lies to you. They make us fancying with stories like "quit school, open business, and become young boss". They never tell us the whole truth, do they. U think Bill Gates is a stupid guy quitting school with a bare dream? I know that you don't.
