It’s time to put a stop to conformity! People like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and various other leaders
of innovation have paved their own path to success. All three are college drop
outs and have undergone their fair share of failures. So be a leader and do not
live by other people’s opinions. Dare to be creative and escape the mould. Boldly
apply knowledge you’ve learnt and expand your creativity to set yourself to exciting
paths.
