if want to compare, then yahoo and google's founders also in same category.Originally posted by kramnave:a dropout from harvard
just that google's founders put their academic work on hold and go to business.
about bill gates .. he wrote his BASIC interpreter when he was how old only? think school assignments too easy for him, no challenge liao.

What i'm trying to say is that they were by no means weak academically, its just that they chose to drop out from school to pursue their own interests.Originally posted by Icemoon:if want to compare, then yahoo and google's founders also in same category.

That is right. Exams are not a good gauge of one's ability.Originally posted by reddressman:I will not dispute with what you said because you have a point.
However, what is taught does not mean what can be mastered or learnt.
How do I explain best...
Example : Class is called : 'How to become successful in Business or Life.'
After attending and passing the written paper exam and scored 100%,
does this mean the person in reality in practical world also will certainly be successful?
That is the message. Roger, out.
That's why your grade is spread across assignments, projects, practical tests, presentations etc.
you have to understand lah, schools need to teach things which can be accredited. so instead of teaching you 'how to be successful in biz', you need to know:
1. how to read financial statements and work them out.
2. the various biz models, like B2B, B2C etc.
3. marketing strategies
4. economics (and the accompanying maths .. yucks!)
5. linear regression
6. etc.
just remember, you are taught those skills (if you pay attention in class).
whether you mastered and learnt them, you will only know if you make good use of them. -
exactly! my point too!Originally posted by kramnave:What i'm trying to say is that they were by no means weak academically, its just that they chose to drop out from school to pursue their own interests.

Think it is unfair to put 'Bill Gates' and scholars in different groups, as if they are a dichotomy. -
+1. Indeed bill gates can get a piece of paper very easily but he chose not to.Originally posted by kramnave:What i'm trying to say is that they were by no means weak academically, its just that they chose to drop out from school to pursue their own interests.

So, intellectuals,
do you know any such talents that exit from whities and without any help, but purely on their own , created a business that brings them more fortune than what the salary many many that they get by being an employee of white?
Also, did any of these who 'came out' and got hired and earning much more than their salary many many as a white employee? -
If your point is that the salaries of the ministers are too high and they may not get the same salary elsewhere then just say that. What for beat around the bush and go into something totally irrelevant like setting up a business and succeeding like Bill gates ? If that is your point then there are threads around that insinuates that already.
If you are however in the "so what if you are a graduate thing", there is also an existing thread already. So what is it you want ? -
One man, Lim Kim San. It's the opposite. He became a MIW after his success as a businessman.
After the war ended, Mr Lim was, in his own words, a young man "in a hurry to make a living" to make up for the wasted years. He made his first million when he came up with a machine to produce sago pearls cheaply. -

what i wanna is exactly what I was asking.
I like to check with people, do they know of such 'talent'.
Apparently, except for close call by GooGoo,
no one has managed to nail the question. -

it is not that no talent came out and ran his own biz, it is cos pap has been very successfully in retain all its talents!Originally posted by reddressman:Hi,
Many talents were said to be need salary many many.
if not they may have no choice but to become a bill gates alike and earn mores than their current super scayle salary.
So, todays question is :
1. Which sg talent succeeded to earn more money than his super scayle salary by venturing into the privatised sectoir that has no connection whatsoever with the Whities?? Its important that there is no connection lest people say biased ha ha...
2. What is the success rate of this kind of attempts since they sing like so nice that if they no paid salary many many, they become billy the gates alike?
llbccb! -
sim wong hoo

Are you then admitting that there is no one like this exist in sg?Originally posted by Lotus999:it is not that no talent came out and ran his own biz, it is cos pap has been very successfully in retain all its talents!
Are you proving that there is no proof of such a person exist in sg?
Despite after so many replies , there is no example or proof anyone is aware of. quite scarey de. is it true that there is no provable example?
I wonder what lesson can I draw from this phenomenon?
Do you know???

Hello,Originally posted by kramnave:Tony Tan OCBC
not sure if you happen to have read the criteria of the question of the quiz?
So, for the benefit of doubt, can I say he did it all on his own without the use of white influence and purely started from ground zero all the way up all by ownself?
I have no doubt a true talent will be able to succeed without a cent nor any help. -
He was GM in OCBC before he went into politics leh...thereafter he join PAP...then after some years became CEO in OCBC...then after that he full time in govt leh.Originally posted by reddressman:Hello,
