Higher education: a path to success or an extra burden? The path to success without higher education.

It is now considered an axiom that the higher the level of education in a country, the better its economy develops, the lower unemployment and the higher life expectancy. In addition, a good education of the population has a positive impact on other areas of society, for example, on the quality of public administration. However, education is not an “absolute weapon” that can solve all economic problems.

Year by year the world becomes more educated. According to UN estimates, over the past decades the world has made significant progress in the fight against illiteracy. If in 1960 36% of the world's population did not have even a basic education, then by 2000 this number had decreased to 25%, despite the fact that the world population doubled over the same period of time (from 3 to 6 billion). In industrialized countries, illiterate people account for no more than 1-2%. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, more and more people are receiving higher education. On average, 32% of able-bodied people (estimated age category 25-65 years) now have completed higher education. The highest proportion of people with higher education is in Canada (43%), the USA (38%) and Japan (36%), the least in Mexico (6%), Turkey and Portugal (9% each).

Many economic historians (for example, Richard Easterlin, who published an article on this topic in the Journal of Economic History) believe that the industrial revolution, which began in the 19th century, gained momentum only thanks to reforms in the education systems of countries around the world. In most European countries and North America, free primary education appeared about 200 years ago and became widespread only at the end of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, low-income people had the chance to receive higher education for free. Moreover, outside of Europe and North America there were negligibly few formally (that is, from a European point of view) educated people. Easterlin discovered a connection between the spread of education in different countries of the world and the beginning of economic growth and found that, as a rule, after educational reform it took 25-30 years for the economy to begin to grow noticeably in a particular country.

Arthur Maddison, author of the study "Dynamic Forces of Capitalist Development", found that the higher the proportion of educated people in a country's population, the higher the rate of economic growth. He also derived a relationship according to which an increase in spending on education by 1% leads to an increase in the country's gross domestic product by 0.35%. In 2004, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development\OECD came to the conclusion that if the average duration of education for residents of a certain country is increased by a year, this increases the gross domestic product of that state by 3-6%.

William Schweke, author of the book “Smart Money,” believes that countries around the world should, first of all, invest in “human capital.” In his opinion, investments in healthcare, education and vocational training can have a beneficial effect not only on labor productivity, but also significantly reduce the severity of social problems (such as alcoholism, drug addiction, crime, poverty, etc.) that place a heavy burden on national economy. American economist Chloe J. Haynes, author of the study "Education and Economic Development", who analyzed the experience of companies operating in the field of information technology, came to the conclusion that such dependence has become even more important in the era of the electronic revolution. The better the education, the higher the labor productivity of employees and managers, the more complex problems they are able to solve and the better the organization of businesses.

However, increasing the number of educated people also creates problems. For example, the US population is quite well educated and Americans are reluctant to accept unskilled jobs. This trend, which can also be traced in all industrialized countries, has led to the transfer of many industrial enterprises to third world countries: de facto, entrepreneurs are interested in uneducated employees who can be paid less.

Another paradox was discovered in 2001 by economists Alan B. Krueger and Mikael Lindahl: they concluded that only countries where the population is generally illiterate experience the beneficial effects of education. In this case, education truly becomes the “engine” of economic growth. However, in “educated” countries, more education does not automatically mean economic growth. One reason for this is that too much time and effort is spent on education. Because of this, people who might be considered “idea creators” spend their energy on rote learning rather than inventing. The growth in the number of educated people gives rise to another problem - many university graduates discover that the professions they acquired are not in demand on the market. Thus, we can assume that the lion's share of time, money and effort was wasted.

In 1974, Harvard University economist Jack Mincer, author of the book “Education, Earnings and Experience,” first proved using extensive statistical material that getting an education is financially beneficial, first of all, for the students themselves. According to his calculations, each extra year of education increases the income of a person employed outside of agricultural production by 7%. The US Department of Education estimates that in 1970, the average young American with a bachelor's degree had an income 24% higher than someone with only a high school diploma. As of 1998, this higher education premium for men had risen to 56%. Among young American women, it increased from 82% in 1970 to 100% in 1998. According to the Los Angeles Times, in the late 1970s, the salary of an American university graduate in his first job was 25% higher than the salary of a high school graduate taking his first job. In the 1980s, this gap increased to 50%, and in 2000 it reached 70%. According to the US Department of Labor\Department of Labor, for the period from 1997 to 1999 (more recent data is not available), an American with a college education earned, on average, $52.2 thousand a year, without a college education - $30.4 thousand .

A US resident who only completed high school spent, on average, twice as much time looking for a new job as a university graduate. A Public Agenda survey conducted among American high school students showed that the main reason forcing them to get a higher education is precisely career considerations: the majority of respondents believe that with a diploma it is easier to find a good job. In the list of reasons, the second place is taken by money, the third is the opportunity to finally decide on the choice of life path. In addition, high school students named the respect that Americans have for people with higher education as an important reason for enrolling in universities.

In turn, half of the high school students who refused to enroll in colleges and universities said that they were going to earn money without wanting to spend time studying. As practice shows, the lack of completed higher education is not an obstacle to personal enrichment. In the ranking of the 500 richest people on the planet, prepared by Forbes magazine, 33% of the positions are occupied by people who have not received university degrees. Moreover, the average billionaire without a college degree is “worth” more ($2.27 billion) than his educated counterpart ($2.13 billion). The most wealthy dropouts today are, for example, the creator of the Microsoft corporation Bill Gates\William H. Gates, who dropped out of Harvard University, his colleague Paul Allen\Paul Allen left the classrooms of the University of Washington\Washington State University, the founder of the Oracle company Larry Ellison\Larry Ellison dropped out of University of Illinois, Michael Dell, creator of the computer giant Dell, once refused to spend time studying at the University of Texas Austin.

As it happens, higher education today must compete with cunning, chutzpah, and determination. The presence of the three listed qualities, as it seems to many, is quite enough to achieve material well-being. And on the contrary, their absence, even for a highly educated person, means complete career failure. Women's magazine Charla decided to figure out who wins today: the person who received higher education, but not having that very entrepreneurial spirit, or someone who was deprived of the joy of attending boring lectures, but endowed with the qualities necessary for successfully building a business.

Higher education: how it was

During the Soviet era, attitude towards higher education was completely different from what it is now. Universities were perceived as a passport to the world of prestigious professions of an engineer, doctor or economist. If you didn’t have a diploma, you could get a job as a factory worker.

But what do we have today? Many of those who received higher education in Soviet times were left behind in the early 90s. At the same time, people who did not have higher education, but possessed those same notorious three qualities, were able to achieve material success.

Has education become worthless? No, the chances are just equal to some extent. The spiritual and intellectual side of the issue remained the same. But this worries few people, because a former engineer, who has two higher educations, and even knows that not only hair dye is permanent, can today sell behind a counter at the market next to a former janitor.

Assessing the current situation, many representatives of older generations were generally disappointed in higher education.

But the conclusion is not at all a call to be arrogant and cunning. A person who knows how to persuade, achieve goals, manage himself and, if necessary, people, and who also has a higher education, has a much better chance of success than a person without a higher education who actively uses his “breakthrough” qualities.

Yes, in universities there are no such subjects as “ways to achieve goals” or “methods of managing people.” But it is the university that develops those qualities that help reveal these abilities.

Higher education and prestigious professions

Even in kindergarten, when children were asked the usual question about, Masha said that she would be a hairdresser. But when the time came to choose my path after school, my doctor mother insisted on enrolling in an economics university.

Today Masha works as a “small” accountant at a large factory and looks with slight envy at some of her friends who open their own hairdressing salons or, for example, nail service centers. It seems to her that even then, in kindergarten, she felt the current trend towards increasing the prestige of professions such as hairdresser or manicurist. And what was this for? higher education?

Yes, indeed, such professions are popular now, as well as the profession of a photographer, seamstress, bartender, and makeup artist. In general, many of those who did not receive higher education are at the peak of the wave of success.

But there are two “buts” here that should not be discounted.

Firstly, fashion changes quickly, and you need to be enterprising enough to change from a nail extension specialist to some other specialist. And will the master still be in demand, for example, at 50 years old? At the same time, Masha has every chance for career growth, and by the age of 50 she may well become a chief accountant with a good income.

Secondly, the market for service sector professionals is already quite saturated. And to stay afloat, you need unconditional talent. Do you feel it within yourself? Then it might be worth a try. But do not rush to talk about the uselessness of higher education. You will definitely need it in the future, because even the most interesting work may become uninteresting or unclaimed. That's when the golden time for your diploma will come.

Another point related to the prestige of the profession concerns working in one’s specialty. Few people decide to connect their lives with the direction in which they received their education. Journalists with chemical education, accountants-engineers, environmental designers. Today, such specialists no longer surprise anyone. But is this right?

In our opinion, higher education should be perceived precisely as a base that provides more opportunities. But the opportunities are very different, and not exactly those that you have heard about for 5 years within the walls of your alma mater. Talent and desire, supported by intelligence, are the best help for a successful career in any field.

Higher education: even the score

Learn not to divide everything into black and white. It is absolutely not necessary to completely abandon higher education or, on the contrary, to serve five years on the student bench while others gain work experience.

Almost all employers require experience. But even without a higher education, you are unlikely to be hired for a well-paid position. This means that you need to look for the optimal solution. Perhaps this solution will be correspondence education or part-time work while studying. But in this case, there is still no place for great ambitions, and conversations like “I’d rather sit at home watching TV than work as a farmhand for two pennies” will not benefit anyone.

You need to understand that work while receiving higher education This is a great way to learn something hands-on. And you usually have to pay for good training. In this case - with your own time.

Many of those who read this article have long made a choice for themselves and have completed (or not completed) their legal five or six years at a university. Should we now regret the lost time or, on the contrary, go to get a higher education that was not completed? Our answer: higher education in the modern world is necessary, because you never know where life will take you. And it will be very disappointing to one day not get the coveted position simply because your competitor, who has similar work experience, received a higher education, but you did not.

Inna Dmitrieva

What is personal success? Does higher education have an impact on success, and has higher education changed in recent years? How should education change to meet modern labor market requirements? The rector of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Economic Sciences, professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich Eskindarov shared his opinion with us on the topic “Higher education and personal success.”

ConsultantPlus: Many young people today strive to achieve success in life. And most of the ambitious youth can be found among students. You are the rector of one of the largest and most prestigious universities in Russia, an authoritative scientist and public figure. What do you think success is? What does a young man need to become successful today? What is the importance of higher education for success?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich Eskindarov: Success and education are certainly interrelated phenomena, but I would not put a higher education diploma at the forefront. There is no doubt that a person seeking to achieve success in business or social activities must be well prepared.

But we must keep in mind that the “classroom” education received at a university is just a base. In addition, you must be able to educate yourself. A person, if he wants to be successful, must study every day. This is an objective requirement dictated by life itself. It is determined by the entire logic of the development of society as a whole.

Unfortunately, society has an idea that a person who has not received a higher education cannot be successful. I disagree, this is a very simplistic approach. Often the tragedy lies precisely in the fact that, having received a diploma, the graduate thinks that his future destiny will go upward and he will receive big money, honor, respect, and so on. However, this is not quite true. Education is the basis for success, but this is the initial basis that we can talk about. It is necessary to develop further, gain new knowledge and skills. To achieve success, it is very important to create contacts, make friends, build relationships with them, not manage, but, as one famous figure said, live with them. Let me give you an example from our university. In the 1990s - 2000s, many of our young graduates achieved success precisely because they supported each other after graduation. The older generations, who graduated from the university earlier, invited young graduates to work, supported and promoted them. Along with knowledge, studying at a good university allows you to acquire the ability to live and work in a team.

Consultant Plus: Education reform is currently underway in Russia. Universities are moving to a two-level system of training specialists. This is the external side of the reform, visible to the naked eye. You are a person who knows the situation from the inside. Please tell us what the essence of the changes is, how will they affect the quality of higher education and, ultimately, the success of university graduates?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Education reform is a very popular topic today. A lot has been done, and it’s time to monitor what we have achieved and decide on the direction of further movement. I cannot agree with those who call to abandon everything and return to Soviet education. Yes, it was quite good, but times and living conditions change. Now there are market relations that dictate other requirements, including for education.

When they talk about education reform, they primarily mean the Unified State Exam and, accordingly, admission to universities, as well as the transition to a leveled, so-called Bologna system of training specialists. I don't see anything wrong with this. If we live in a global community, if we join the WTO, if we accept the rules of the game, then we must play by these rules. Our task is to provide high quality training. This is where the main danger lurks. We have a huge number of universities, and if all of them - both state and commercial - begin to train not only bachelors, but also masters, it will be extremely difficult to ensure quality. Because, unfortunately, neither the staff of teachers, nor the material and technical base, nor the availability of educational laboratories allow most universities to provide training for masters. A master's degree is a completely different professional level.

Consultant Plus: What is the fundamental difference between bachelors and masters?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Let's take our university. We prepare bachelors in economics, management, law, mathematics, and IT technologies. Moreover, training is carried out “according to the profiles” of professional activity. What does this mean? Bachelors of Economics, for example, study finance and credit, taxes and taxation, analysis and auditing, and global economics. At their level, they receive basic knowledge and master the basics of professional activity. They can easily go to financial and banking institutions or any production and take the corresponding position. But in order to be a professional in a narrow specific field, for example in the field of banking management, or to successfully work at the intersection of economics and law, say, to deal with the legal support of the economy, the knowledge acquired in a bachelor’s degree is not enough. That's what a master's degree is for. At our university you can choose any of more than 30 master's programs.

The master's degree is designed to finally determine the path of development of a specialist; it is the basis of his professional guidance. A bachelor’s degree is the basis that allows him to start working professionally. By the way, world experience shows that in countries that are switching to level training, initially 70-80% of bachelor's graduates go on to master's programs, but over time this number decreases to 25-30%. Therefore, if a bachelor comes to a bank or somewhere else, then the employer’s own training center must bring the graduate to the required professional level, as is customary in the West.

Consultant Plus: Do we now have such centers in Russia?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Must be. This is a common occurrence in the West. No one will simply be allowed directly into the workplace, even if he is the best graduate of the best university. As soon as a newcomer arrives at production, he must undergo testing and selection, after which he is sent to a training center, where lectures are given and professional analysis of specially prepared cases is carried out.

Consultant Plus: Can, for example, an engineer with a specialization enroll in your master's program?

Maybe if he studied micro- and macroeconomics well. Another exam that he must pass at our university, regardless of what direction he is in, is a foreign language. Without a foreign language, no matter how outstanding a specialist he may be, it is impossible now. And first of all, without English. Without it, the success we talked about will not happen. We are in a world system where English dominates. An accountant, for example, who does not know English, has very limited prospects for professional growth, because all terminology, and primarily reporting, is presented in English. Largely because in Soviet times little attention was paid to foreign languages, many of our scientists and research teams are lagging behind. Our universities and research centers are not included in world rankings because scientific literature is published in English, scientific works are cited in English-language publications.

Consultant Plus: The Financial University is one of the largest financial universities in Russia; your graduates are highly valued by employers. What is the secret of the university's success? What are the most important indicators of the quality of education your university provides?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Today, 93% of the Financial University graduates work in their specialty. We have research to back up these numbers. Let's look at the materials for the 2010 release. At the beginning of June, 78% of graduates were already working. In February - 97%. If we clarify by faculties, then in “Accounting and Auditing” 100%, in the Faculty of Taxes and Taxation - 99%. The lowest result was at the International Faculty of Economics - 91%. By the way, this faculty was graduating bachelors, and all these “unemployed” were going to go to master's programs.

How do our graduates assess the level of their professional training? 96.5% of surveyed graduates rate the theoretical knowledge acquired at the Financial University at a high and very high level. I think this is very good. It’s a little worse when it comes to practical training: only 71% of graduates rate the level of practical training at a high or very high level. We understand this. Therefore, we are now opening departments together with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, the Association of Russian Banks, and Vnesheconombank in order to attract even more highly qualified practitioners to teach at the university. And the second, counter-direction - we have set the task for all university teachers to undergo an internship once every three years in production: in banks, in insurance companies.

Consultant Plus: Where do your graduates most often work?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Banks take first place. They are followed by consulting and auditing. About 7% go to work for government agencies, approximately the same number open their own business, work in leasing and tourism companies, and are engaged in construction and real estate. Approximately 5% work in insurance and investment, 8% are engaged in science and teaching.

Consultant Plus: Are your graduates willing to hire?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Unfortunately, even too willingly. Many guys start working in their third and fourth years. And such students begin to imagine that they already know everything and begin to skip classes. Ultimately, both students and employers suffer. Therefore, we expect to prohibit undergraduate students from working in the near future. If you came to study, study. You'll still have time to work.

Consultant Plus: It turns out that a diploma from the Financial University is a kind of sign of the quality of a specialist?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: I really hope so, but the final assessment must be made by graduates and employers themselves. Graduates say yes. So far, no one has told us: “You are training bad specialists.” And it would be regrettable if a university under the Government of the Russian Federation prepared poorly. After all, we head the educational and methodological association of Russian universities. We say: “Do as we do, do better than us.” But we must always be ahead. A very simple principle.

Consultant Plus: Today, computers and software are widely used in all areas of activity. Confident mastery of advanced information technologies has become a kind of quality standard for university graduates. Understanding this, the ConsultantPlus company, within the framework of its non-profit project “Program of Information Support for Russian Science and Education,” has been cooperating with Russian universities for about 20 years, providing teachers and students with free access to their information resources.

How does the Financial University prepare students to use information technology in their future professional activities?

What is your attitude towards the use of legal reference systems in the training of lawyers, economists and management specialists?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: To answer this question, we must return again to the problems associated with education reform. The reform will only be successful if we teach students to work independently. Today our main focus is on classroom training, and this is not entirely correct. Unfortunately, the teacher himself does not always have time to master everything new that appears every day in science and industry, and accordingly, he cannot convey this to students. We must provide students with access to the most current and reliable information - read, get acquainted, analyze, work independently. The teacher’s task is to help understand this information, to be not a mentor, but a teacher, a guide, to show the direction of movement, and not to lead the student by the hand. Information at the present time is perhaps the most important thing. Your system is a very successful confirmation of this. Why is the ConsultantPlus system necessary in the educational process? It contains the latest legal information and analytics. So let's give the student the opportunity to familiarize himself with this information. Let him work on his own in the library, and eventually, in the park on a bench. Modern technology provides such an opportunity.

I repeat once again: information is a very important thing. And training people who can work with it and do analysis is important for our field. Therefore, we are training IT specialists for the financial and banking sector who will be able to work at the intersection of technology and economics. We actively recommend the use of legal programs, and primarily ConsultantPlus, in the educational process at specialized faculties. For many years now, we have been holding competitions for knowledge of the ConsultantPlus system and attracting other universities to this. In addition, our employees, not only teachers, actively use the system. Whatever you ask, they immediately refer to ConsultantPlus. This kind of help and support is an important element in preparing students for practical work. This cooperation is very important for us.

Consultant Plus: Thank you very much, Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich, for the interesting conversation. What would you wish for a current student?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: I will repeat: a student, after leaving the university, must continue to study. No matter how trivial it may sound, without this it is impossible to achieve success. A student, or rather, no longer a student, but a specialist, must educate himself, improve himself and develop throughout his life.

Controversial issues in obtaining higher education

Some people believe that higher education is not necessary. This is argued by the fact that famous personalities (names are given) have achieved success without higher education. However, this still does not prove anything.

Let's say that the list of successful people with higher education will be real. If we talk about financial activities, the most brilliant specialists in the field of investments had not just a higher education, but a higher economics degree.

Foreign statistics provided data that more than 40% of businessmen abroad do not have a higher education obtained at http://www.ideka.ru/. Accordingly, 60% received it. Our percentage is very small, around 3% of successful people do not have a university education. Such a small percentage is due to the fact that they received a “higher education” back in Soviet times, when it was simply necessary on the path to a career. Some analysts suggest that we will see the same global practice in the near future.

But you can’t compare two groups of random people like this, where one has a higher education and the other does not. There are no studies of their financial results. You can only compare salaries, because at the initial stage, a specialist with a higher education is paid more. But even this is only at the initial stage.

Positive aspects of higher education

Higher education is the path to success and getting a good job. After all, if recruitment to an organization takes place on a competitive basis, then candidates without a “tower” are immediately eliminated. And for some positions, such as international companies, candidates who graduated from prestigious universities with a good rating have an advantage. With a long work experience, the importance of education decreases. All that remains is experience and knowledge.

There is an opinion that a person with a higher education has a broader horizon, is more interesting to work with, and knows more. This is a controversial issue. Sometimes a person has lived such a rich life, seen so much, and is so interesting to communicate with. And he doesn't have a tower. And some top manager with a higher education is fixated on his career gained thanks to http://www.ideka.ru/napravleniya-i-spetsialnosti.html and is focused only on acquiring his own benefits. It is unlikely that he will be able to interest others in anything.

Therefore, there is no universal recipe for achieving success in your own life. For some people, education is simply necessary to achieve heights. For some, it’s the opposite, as there are many examples of famous people. But don’t forget that against them there are ten times more of those who dropped out of school and never achieved anything in life. Therefore, you should not assume that by dropping out of university you will definitely become a millionaire.

The uniqueness of this class hour lies in the fact that its content is experienced for a very long time, long after the lesson.

The “aftereffect” is determined by the changes that will occur throughout the academic year in the life of the class and school with the direct participation of the students themselves. These can be new achievements and victories in socially creative activities, in mastering new values, in interpersonal and business relationships.

Planned results of the class hour “Education is the path to success.”

Progress of the class hour

Teacher. Hello guys! Today we have an unusual class hour. Now in all classes of our school there are classes on one topic: “Education is the path to success.” We will understand the question: how to achieve success, what you need to do to become a successful person.

And now let's turn again to the topic of our class hour. "Education is the path to success." It's no secret that each of us would like to be a successful person. It is no coincidence that when we congratulate each other on any holiday, we wish each other success: in studies, in creativity, etc. So what is success? What associations do you have when we say the word success?

Keywords: education, active life position, cooperation, work, achievements, creativity, success.

The words “education and success” are written on the board.

Students express their opinions, name associations, as a result of which the following notes appear on the board.

Teacher. What does it take to succeed? So that all the components of success you named come true? Let's try to figure it out. I will offer you statements with which you can agree, disagree, or answer “I don’t know.” If you agree with my statement, then please stand near the sign with the word YES. If you don’t agree, stand next to the NO sign. If you find it difficult to answer this question, then your answer is I DON’T KNOW.

– I believe that K.S. Stanislavsky was right when he asserted: “Every day that you have not supplemented your education with at least a small, but new piece of knowledge for you, consider it fruitless and irrevocably lost for yourself.”

– I believe that Thomas Edison, the famous inventor, was wrong when he said: “I am a firm believer in luck. And I noticed the harder I work, the luckier I am.” (I believe that to achieve success, you have to work hard).

– I believe that the path to success begins with failures.

– I believe that a successful person has no right to make mistakes.

– I believe that in order to succeed, you need to be understanding of other people, which will help cooperation.

– I believe that the formula for failure is trying to please everyone.

– Once King Ptolemy asked Euclid: “Are there any quicker, easier ways to study geometry?” To which the great mathematician replied: “There are no royal paths to geometry!” So, the statement: there are no “royal paths to success.”

Teacher. So the last statement:“Knowledge, work, taking into account mistakes, cooperation with other people, defending your point of view - all this is education.”

Students agree with this statement.

Teacher. What conclusion can we draw by looking at our table? (Table: Education and success, slide 4).

The guys conclude: “To succeed, you need education.”

Teacher. Of course, we have not named all the components of education that lead to success; there are many more of them.

Way to success:

“Look back at the past often, enjoy the present, dream about the future.”

Have a dream
Develop a plan
Set goals
Find the right solutions, make the right choices
Draw the right conclusions
Find the right motivations for your actions
Learn all the time
Involve others with you
Learn from mistakes
Don't forget about your individuality
Use common sense

Meanwhile, the secret of successful people is not at all in their pathological luck, but in a fundamentally different attitude towards failures: for them, any mistake is the greatest blessing and a motivation for action!

Understanding the reasons for failure and the ways to achieve success is useful for more productively paving the path to success.

Successful people:

YES. Medvedev is the path to success.

M.V. Lomonosov - the path to success.

The great Edith Piaf, the voice of the 20th century, began her journey as a street tramp who earned money by entertaining passers-by with songs. She was born on the sidewalk, raised in a brothel, got into accidents dozens of times, miraculously surviving. Those who later said that if it were not for them, not for their faith in her, she would never have become famous turned away from her. But Edith lived every day as if she were going to die tomorrow.
