If you think getting a great certificate will guarantee a billion dollar income tomorrow,then you may consider thinking differently after reading this article.I took time to do my ground work and the results were all so amazing.Since the richest man on globe did not finish college, we have a clue of what its all about.With the ever growing pool of college applicants in NIGERIA and beyond, I think it is most sapient if a sound post on this topic is made.Once and for all, let people get the opportunity to determine their destinies and design their future.
Here are men that defied convention and dazzled the earth in means unimaginable.
