It is generally believed that a high diploma has a promising future . Some people identify high diploma with profound knowledge.Companies also tend to emhasize the person who has high diploma .Like it or not , there does exist a social phenomenon - the higher diploma one gets , the more popular he becomes.
On the contrary , other people think that a high diploma doesn't automaticlly translate into knowledge. A diploma , in their eyes ,is only the educationgal experience rather than the ability. Therefore , we can never judge one's ability according to his diploma . Besides , many knowledgeable people don't have a high diploma . The people who can be successful depend on what ability he has , not his diploma .
So I must say no one should equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a short-term study while genuine knowledge needs one's lifelong devotion.
