Insights on Education and Revolutionary Impact
While specific statistics on revolutionaries’ educational attainment are scarce, broader data on influential individuals provide some context:
- A study of 362 billionaires revealed that approximately 12.2% were college dropouts, indicating that the majority had completed higher education. Entrepreneur
This suggests that, although some individuals without formal education have made significant impacts, they are exceptions rather than the norm.
🧠 Conclusion
The notion that school dropouts predominantly drive revolutions is more myth than reality. While there are notable exceptions, most revolutionaries had some level of formal education. Their influence often stemmed from a combination of factors, including personal conviction, societal context, and available opportunities, rather than solely their educational background.

The Gates of Paradise
A soldier named Nobushige came to Hakuin, and asked: “Is there really a paradise and a hell?”
“Who are you?” inquired Hakuin.
“I am a samurai,” the warrior replied.
“You, a soldier!” exclaimed Hakuin. “What kind of ruler would have you as his guard? Your face looks like that of a beggar.”
Nobushige became so angry that he began to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued: “So you have a sword! Your weapon is probably much too dull to cut off my head.”
As Nobushige drew his sword Hakuin remarked: “Here open the gates of hell!”
At these words the samurai, perceiving the master’s discipline, sheathed his sword and bowed.
“Here open the gates of paradise,” said Hakuin.

How to Be Happy
Behavioral scientists have spent a lot of time studying what makes us happy (and what doesn’t). We know happiness can predict health and longevity, and happiness scales can be used to measure social progress and the success of public policies. But happiness isn’t something that just happens to you. Everyone has the power to make small changes in our behavior, our surroundings and our relationships that can help set us on course for a happier life.
