Today's topic is about dropouts. You would imagine that dropouts are not sociable or delinquent or have a bad grade on exam.

But the dropouts that this article introduced are absolutely exceptions. They have tremendous influence for our daily life and culture. I'll pick up two people who fascinates me through the article from them.

Buckminster Fuller was an American who had many titles such as thinker, architect, inventor, designer, poet. He dropped out of Harvard University in 1915. He founded a company about but it resulted in complete failure. And in that time, His beloved daughter passed away and he began to hit the bottle. He even contemplated suicide but ended up having a second thought.Then he started his research about energy geometry and had created a lot of ideas based on dymaxion that is the coinage he created. This ideas created to make sustainable living in coming 50 years(which means this time). But sadly, this supreme idea is almost wasted today.

I didn't know that Tom Hanks dropped out of his college. Needless to say, he is one of the most famous actor all over the world and starred in famous movies including Academy award received. I really like his movie 'Philadelphia'. that movie cast a new light on the social subject about gay and make us think of what our ethic is for a while.
