The Greatest Gamble:Proving Yourself!

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 ā€œWho wants to be Millionaireā€ contest wherein, if he gets lucky, Heā€™ll 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.

Thereā€™s been a doubt in his capability on winning the grand prize and was accused of cheating because he didnā€™t have enough chance to undergone formal education. But he proved them that theyā€™re all wrong.

A personā€™s capability in attaining knowledge doesnā€™t necessarily limits and doesnā€™t necessarily means that it must have come from the four-corners of a classroom or what we called ā€œSchool 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 itā€™s 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 didnā€™t apply your knowledge on improving and shaping your life. Thus, itā€™s worthless.

For someone like Jamal, the risk that theyā€™re taking head-on, just equipped with enough knowledge and unshakable courage itā€™s a risk in proving themselves that all their hardships are worth it!

 

So, What are your thoughts about proving yourself despite your education status?
