Motivation is the key to success (response)

First off Bach and Kanye both raised great points to their different but similar views. I felt they both had separate views on going to school while their underlying message was more about the importance of studying and following what excites you and what you can see yourself doing in the future. Not those nonsense high school classes where you learn about trigonometry and wonder to yourself “when am I going to use this in real life”. Bach’s main point where he mentioned, “school is temporary but education lasts a lifetime” is a great point and I never really thought of it like that. Like J.Lin mentioned you’re are not stuck in school you can leave and pursue your own valuable education. I also agree where j.lin said, students should be giving more options instead of being forced to “memorize” facts in school, and learn by observation and experience. As for Kanye’s view on education he feels success isn’t only obtained by college degrees but if you can’t become a famous rapper as a college dropout than a degree is a very important thing to have in this “hard real world”. He feels you need to give yourself as many chances as you can in order to be successful. Kanye also raises a great point similar to Bachs where he talks about the importance of offering classes about things that kids are interested in rather than the basic curriculum. Like the cliché phrase you hear from everyone older, when you find a job you enjoy working you’ll never work a day in your life. Basically follow your dreams and do what makes you happy.
