George Lucas

Mr. Lucas: Well, when I started out in school, K through 12, I didn't do very well at all. I just didn't fit in. I guess I was too much of a day dreamer. I really wasn't a big fan of math and science and all their curriculum that they put inside the box. And I lived outside the box so I didn't really have a good time.

Richard Branson

Interviewer: To do all this, you must have been a genius from the get-go, right?

Mr. Branson: I won't contradict that!

Interviewer: Weren't you just terrible at school?

Mr. Branson: I was dyslexic. I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed I.Q. tests. It is one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old.

Steve Jobs

Mr. Jobs: Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I have ever gotten to a college graduation.
