Studying Buffett's university years

Just like watching Jobs and Musk
You'll find that college is really optional
Because he basically didn't learn much, just doing his own business
In the context of China, it's more like

The college entrance exam is more important than attending university
If you score high enough on the college entrance exam and get admitted to Tsinghua
Whether you graduate or drop out from Tsinghua
Few people dare to look down on those who drop out from Tsinghua

Being able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University
Proves your intelligence, self-discipline, and diligence
If he dares to drop out from Tsinghua
It also proves his courage and independent thinking and self-learning ability

I start to understand Peter Thiel's investment philosophy
Invest directly in high school graduates
Because even Wharton, Harvard, Stanford
In front of true geniuses
Actually have nothing to teach them

Thinking of my own university days
Actually, my university was basically like Buffett's
Mostly busy with my own business, rarely attending classes
But I was too timid to drop out
Spent some time just getting a diploma
Looking back now, that’s the real gap between me and these talented people
Because it was truly a pure waste of time
I'm not saying my alma mater is not good
But I studied chemical engineering
Which indeed was of no help to my later career

They dare to throw away even Wharton and Stanford graduation photos
I wouldn't even dare to throw away a regular bachelor's diploma
Because I lacked confidence and didn't believe enough in myself
But I think if my child reaches university
And finds his own direction
I can now fully support him to drop out and start a business

What kind of life is that
That requires using college diplomas many times
I find it hard to imagine
Because I almost never used those few pieces of paper later
