WHO BECAME MILLIONAIRES


When it comes to success, all you need is sheer will and perseverance. Let’s take a leaf out of these millionaires’ books and see if success really needs a college degree.




1. Walt Disney     
The maker of the adorable Mickey Mouse dropped out of school at the age of 16 and went on to become the most fascinating and well-known film producers of the world. With an average of 3 Disney films produced every year, the Walt Disney Company earns annual revenue of a whopping USD 35 billion.





2. Henry Ford
Do you own a Ford car? If yes, then you’d be pleased to know that its founder Henry Ford was a dropout as well. He ran away from home at the age of 17 and began his career as an apprentice in a garage. Today, with a multi-billion dollar company, Henry Ford is one of the richest people in the world.


3. Milton Hershey
Milton Hershey went on to become one of the most loved chocolate makers, with education only till the fourth grade. Now with his internationally marketed chocolate, one hardly associates his success to education.



                               



4. Michael Dell
With the most popular PCs ever created, Michael Dell hardly needed a computer science degree to sire his computer-empire. A university drop out at the age of 19, he left education to run what would later become the largest manufacturer and sellers of PCs and servers. With a whopping $57 billion annual revenue, Michael Dell is one of the most successful men of the world.





5. Steve Jobs
Everyone owes their modern computing experience to Steve Jobs. Not only did he pioneer the most well known computing system in the world, Apple Computers, but also was the first person to initiate the graphical user interface featuring a mouse and an image screen. He did all of this with just a semester-worth of education, in college.



6. Bill Gates
In spite of being a college dropout, Bill Gates is one of Forbes’ Richest People in the world. His multinational company, Microsoft Corporation, is the largest computer software manufacturers in the world, earning an average annual turnover of more than USD 51 billion





7. Woody Allen
The multifaceted artist is an actor, director, writer, musician, playwright and comedian and is considered to be one of the foremost cinematic pioneers of the modern era. Having dropped out of college because of poor grades, he now belts out an award-winning movie every year

Bal Thackeray life history

Views on Bal Thackeray, known as Balasaheb, were as polarised as the politics he practiced.  Known for his caustic tongue, he was idolised by his followers in the Shiv Sena and scorned in equal measure by liberal and secular Indians for his communal, divisive politics that didn't stop with radical expression of views against Muslims and violent action against those opposed to his extreme righwing ideas - including being firmly opposed to the visit of the Pakistani cricket team to India. The cartoonist turned politician was often portrayed as a roaring tiger, the much cherished logo of his party Shiv Sena, which he formed to accord dignity to Maharashtrians but which became known as a party of restless youngsters out for trouble. He was a demogogue whose strong views polarised the polity at the state and the national level, but he never flinched from expressing himself with conviction despite opposition. The posterboy of rightwing Hindu and Marathi chau...
