why do people keep quoting the Bill Gates was a drop out thingy all the time without context. I've heard that sooooo many times.
People will say "well you dropped out (mostly likely cause you couldn't cope with the academics which is normally 90% of the cases) but thats ok dude dont worry about it coz Bill Gates dropped out too and look where he ended up"
The reason Bill Gates dropped out is not because he couldn't complete the course or just couldn't cope with the level of academics, in fact far from he was an outstanding student (I read his biography) the reason he dropped out is because he thought staying till he completed his course would be a waste of his time.
See there's a significant difference between dropping out because you can't cope and dropping out because you can cope very well but believe doing so is a waste of your time in achieving your life's objectives.
