Retired super rich boxer, Floyd Mayweather, took to social media to share his testimony on how he transformed his life, even though he dropped out of school.
He wrote:
"It's funny...when I was in high school, my grades were always mediocre. My focus wasn't on getting the highest GPA in class. I was focused on getting my mother off of drugs and my father out of prison. This is my testimony! I wouldn't be rated one of the top, most influential entertainers in the world if I never told you the road I had to travel for me to get to where I am. Now, I look around and all of my employees have Masters degrees and 4.0 GPA's. It's one thing to be book smart but, it's another thing to have the intelligence and wisdom to surround yourself with a team of smart and driven people to help sustain your success!
Sitting in my handmade luxury lounge cube... counting my blessings; in the comfort of my custom private beach, laced with the softest sand you can find. Imported from Caladesi Island, exclusively for my multi-million dollar tropical estate. I have one of my executive chefs, putting together a gourmet spread made for a King. Ultimately, when you think about it... this isn't bad for an $800,000,000 drop out!

I hope Ghana will learn something out of this, because people think that to read and write is education. It is hard time we allowed all other intelligence which include, craftsmanship, aesthetics, oratory, sports and many others have a share in educational delivery in Ghana to avoid throwing away the skilled ones for the so called brainy ones.
BUT, DONT FORGET THEY ARE USING THEIR INTELLIGENCE TO EARN HIM MORE MONEY THAN THE SALARIES THEY EARN SO IN ALL HE IS BENEFITING MORE THAN THEM.
Education is not only theory but practical wisdom and if all thing can be taught in the class we would not have the Bill Gate, The apple founder who has passed away and facebook which was by first year university student . In Ghana we Rev Dr. Mensa Otabil who finished only Ordinary level not to talk of Bishop Duncan Williams. The list is unnumberable And I go on with many who transformed their thinking to do the unimaginable.
....TRUE BUT HOW WOULD IT FEEL IF YOU WERE DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING FOR YOU BY YOURSELF!! THEY ARE CHOPPING YOUR CASH WHICH YOU MAKE WITH YOUR BRUTE STRENGTH WITH THEIR INTELLIGENCE. YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT UP TO THEIR INTELLIGENCE.
