So what if you went to the university?

"Going to and through the UNIversity does not guarantee you success in handling DIversity and ADversity in life; you need FLEXIBILITY and VERSATILITY of mind." ... Jonathan Ooi

Life is full of diversed and adverded situations that catch many people, even the intellectual, so unprepared and defenceless. Going to and through the university, to many people, is just a socially-recognised and professionally-required path of getting that scroll that could land you on a good-paying job hopefully if the world economy is in order.

Life skills required to cope with life's diversity and adversity will be left to each individual to seek out and sort out on their own. That is where it starts to draw on the resilience, flexibility and versatility of the mind that was supposed to be trained but usually not. That is why many highly-educated people suffer from the same mental stress and depression as those who are not so highly-educated so to speak.

That is the reason why I always say, what you study in the university is not so important, what is important is whether you used your brain and train your mind while you were studying in the university, and in fact, it is not so much about studying the subjects per se but learning the skills to cope with life.
