What is the most important thing you've learned on your own?
In three sentences, explain something that you've learned without being told by another person -- something you've figured out all by yourself. Here's an example:
"I learned how to paint with water colors by reading a book and searching for YouTube videos. It took me a while, but I figured out some techniques that really work for me. I'm not an expert yet, but I have discovered a real joy in painting."
It can be anything -- a practical skill (like painting) or a knowledge set (like how to use mathematics).

2. I learnt that rather than talking about how others became successful, I should just do what I am capable of doing.
3. I learnt that most successful people are college dropouts. No point in studying books. I think one should study Life.

How are you defining "successful?" If it's monetarily, then I think your statistics are off. While there are certainly a notable few who have found monetary success without completing (or attending college), the lions share of successful people do in fact have college degrees.
