What does it take to prove yourself?
For Jamal Malik, (The lead character of Slumdog Millionaire- A film by Danny Boyle.)
His greatest gamble in proving himself was joining āWho wants to be Millionaireā contest wherein, if he gets lucky, Heāll get 20 million rupees. Enough to cover his expenses and he could even, possibly live in comfort. But it turns out that joining on it would brought him in refreshing his past.
Thereās been a doubt in his capability on winning the grand prize and was accused of cheating because he didnāt have enough chance to undergone formal education. But he proved them that theyāre all wrong.
A personās capability in attaining knowledge doesnāt necessarily limits and doesnāt necessarily means that it must have come from the four-corners of a classroom or what we called āSchool or Universityā rather,Ā it could also be attained Ā outside, in streets etc. and even in our life experiences. Ā He proved that Acquiring knowledge is an endless cycle but itās up to you how will you apply for your life.
You could be the smartest in your class, graduated from one of the top universities and bagged countless recognitions but if you didnāt apply your knowledge on improving and shaping your life. Thus, itās worthless.
For someone like Jamal, the risk that theyāre taking head-on, just equipped with enough knowledge and unshakable courage itās a risk in proving themselves that all their hardships are worth it!
So, What are your thoughts about proving yourself despite your education status?
