Reader phamthanhlong commented: “Anyone who thinks quitting can still lead to success should reconsider Elon Musk’s example. Despite his genius, he studied and learned basic math and physics; his success was not handed to him like winning the lottery.”

This comment was sparked by the recent sharing of Musk’s college paper while at the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked on calculating moments of inertia from fundamental principles. Many people found this fascinating as it highlighted the Tesla CEO’s academic roots and intellectual rigor.

Another reader ĐọcHe added: “People have somehow gotten the idea that rich people don’t work hard, or that maths and physics are meaningless. These people forget that their smartphones are based on thousands of scientific formulas. The world’s leading companies are technology companies with roots in science. While the rich worry that they don’t work hard enough, others complain about learning.” How will they succeed with this mentality?

Vietnam’s leading billionaires were educated in Eastern Europe and often have a background in physics; This proves that academic commitment triggers lasting success. And I noticed that billionaires always choose the best schools for their children, never recommending that they skip education.”

Reader Hanging Phi He also underlined the value of education: “Billionaires did not succeed because they dropped out of school. Many went to top universities, but they left because those institutions could not keep up with their thinking. They left not to avoid work, but to follow more challenging paths of learning.”

Reader tamduc He concluded: “Only those who struggle academically or avoid hard work justify skipping school by pointing to billionaires who didn’t finish college. They fail to see that most rich people do well in school. They drop out when the opportunity comes, not because they lack talent. Without talent, they wouldn’t succeed.”
