 Many studies have shown that people with education are more successful in their life careers. Yet many famous people had very little education. Mark Twain, one of our most famous writers, and Charlie Chaplin, the great movie comedian, dropped out of school before 8th grade. The Wright brothers, who developed our first airplanes, never graduated from high school. Education is a great help, but it is possible to be successful even if you leave school early.

很多研究表明，受过教育的人在他们的职业生涯中(比没受过教育的人)更成功。然而，许多很著名的人只受了很少的教育。最著名的作家之一马克·土温以及伟大的喜剧演员查理·卓别林都在8年级之前就退了学。发明了我们的第一架飞机的怀特兄弟连高中都没读完。教育对人帮助很大，但即使你很早就离开了学校，你还是有可能会成功的。
