Is it Passion or is it Universities ?

-Abbhirami

It is from my analysis work, I have tried to figure out answers for the questions that are always in my head.

My analysis was about the top CEOs’ and founders’ educational background. When went through their bios., I found that most of the CEOs or founders of the top organizations belong to either Stanford University or Harvard University.  Just look at the list of CEOs I present here and their educational background.

Organizations               CEO                                          Educational Background

Google                     Sundar Pichai                                  Stanford University

Yahoo                      Marissa Mayer                                 Stanford University

Facebook                 Mark Zukerberg                               Harvard University

HP                           Meg Whitman                                   Harvard University

Youtube                  Susan WojcicKi                                 Harvard University

Here are the questions that I have in my head - what exactly are the two universities providing the students? What exactly is their curriculum? How do they educate students to get them somehow on top of the rest?
Not just the CEOs but also take a look at the founders of those organizations and corps.
 

Organizations                Founders                                       EducationalBackground

Google                      Larry Page, Sergey Brin                             Stanford University

Yahoo                       Jerry Yang, Davis Filo                               Stanford University

Facebook                 Mark Zukerberg, Dustin Moskvovitz

                              Edurado Saverin, Chris Hughes                    Harvard University

                              Andrew McCollum                          

HP                         Davis Packcard, William Hewlett                  Stanford University

Youtube               Jawed Karim(one of the founders)                  Stanford University

Microsoft               Bill Gates(one of the founders)                      Harvard College

 Look at this! There is truly something behind this, I feel, I‘m just trying to figure this out. 

So are those who studied or had education at those universities become creative – minds or those who are really creative and unbeatably excellent get into those universities? Or is it kind of both? Weird! What exactly is their approach towards their thinking? But if I say that it is only “those” universities that provide them the base or the rudimentary things to get going with their work what about other CEOs and founders who had their education other than these two universities. So that can't be conclusion. Well, it can’t be rejected as a whole; of course universities provide certain things that are completely helpful to students to get to top.

But then you cannot confine your answers with this. What I feel is that the combination of both the internal drive and the university- matters. You can put these two factors accordingly, like what I’m here to say is that it is going to be your internal drive or the passion that grips the position 1 pushing other factors no matter whatever it is down below. 

But I’m still not settled with an answer.
