\u201cWhen I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down \u2018happy\u2019. They told me I didn\u2019t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn\u2019t understand life.\u201d – John Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve been raised more or less aware about how the world really \u201cworked\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>. I remember that at school, teachers would teach us what we needed to know in order to succeed.\u00a0 And, that was all I needed to pass, one class after the other. Clearly, it wasn’t enough. There was no space to challenge what was being taught.<\/p>\n

With regards to entrepreneurship, traditional school systems made it hard to envision success outside of the common\u201cbachelor and\/or Masters and\/or PhD & then success\u201d framework.\u00a0I am conscious that finding a job might be harder without any higher level diploma but diploma doesn\u2019t necessarily rhymes with job nor opportunities. Entrepreneurship has become increasingly popular, the rise of the startups movement as a recent example. What I find great with entrepreneurship is that there is nothing about how old you are, how good at school you were, how many diplomas you have, how many countries you\u2019ve seen, there is no standard profile\u00a0to\u00a0 be entrepreneur. I think what is important is to realize how the classic road to success has dramatically changed and for the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
