Why Thinking and Experiencing Fast is More Important than your degrees

Why Thinking and Experiencing Fast is More Important for Your Career Than Your Degree 👨‍👩‍👦 Yes ,  Thinking and experiencing fast will make your careers, not your degrees !  Parents endlessly fight with others on how to bring up their children.  We, as parents, also argue about how to approach problems and other aspects of our parenting. One bone of contention is the idea of education for our only child. 💭 I feel speed of experience   is perpetually undervalued when it comes to building a career. I have been disappointed with the Indian education system throughout my life and want my child to bypass its demerits.  I believe that my son should not waste much time in the regressive education systems we have !  I believe that my son should start a business instead of pursuing a multinational job.  💼 Simply put, my experience shows that running a business is easier than doing a job.  Starting a business today means you begin learning immediately...
