  • The classes were not.

  • I didn't study.

  • I didn't think I was learning something that was relevant to me.

  • The classes were not engaging, the lectures were boring, and every single person around me was focusing on memorizing everything and blurting it out at the end of the year.

  • In the examination, everybody saw it as a means to an end as light.

  • At the end of a four year long tunnel, which is a successful job as an engineer didn't gel with me, I couldn't do it for suffer like Oh, and maybe I'm the weirdo in the class.

  • How many of you know some beer does in the class?

  • There you go, force.

  • I felt that's that's why I was.

  • Right?

  • And I had a team of 12 different people from India.

  • Four of them are family disappointments, by the way, and I started noticing something interesting.

  • I started reading incredible people from different education backgrounds.

  • Engineers, architects, doctors, economic students, art students.

  • All of them were feeling somehow education has failed them.

  • For the first time, I felt that I was not alone.

  • If you Google right now, university makes me if you Google that right now, you know the 1st 4 automatic answers Anxious depress.

  • I feel like a failure.

  • Stupid.

  • So I started questioning.

  • Why?

  • Why Google?

  • By the way, the tech giant, right that happens, who had a lot of engineers 15% of their stuff doesn't have a professional college degree.

  • Why?

  • Because our education system is outdated.

  • It was built in the 19 hundreds.

  • It was built for the industrial age.

  • By the time you graduate Peter Diamandis, he said, between 2016 and 2022 they will be as many technological changes as many as we had between 19 hundreds and 2000.

  • That's more than 2000% growth.

  • And that's just the beginning off the exponential curve.
