Pretending you are someone who can do it:

Don't think you can succeed without going to university? Watch Neil Gaiman author of The Sandman, American gods and Stardust commencement 2012 speech to know how to do it!

                 

Neil Gaiman didn't go to university to learn how to write, he did something different, he wrote. He refers to the arts during his speech but what he says has truth in everything and everyone.

He talks of success and failure, of doing what you want to do and doing what you have to do, and of doing what only you can do.

"let go and enjoy the ride"

There are shining examples of successful people in all fields of life who did not go to university and and those that did. From Chase Jarvis (Photographer) to Richard Branson (Chairman of Virgin Group). If you have a passion then do it.
