Now you'll have thousands of kids playing up doing nothing then hoping to "get lucky" when they leave. Nice one Cowell, underminded the education system in 5 minutes, genius!

some do get lucky, but they had an entrepreneurial spirit from the get go, like Richard Branson, most people are not like that. They need a good, solid education, one that gives them the tools to go out into a very competitive world, sadly many seem to have been let down by that system, shame that Grammar Schools are largely gone.
I am sure that this is a tongue-in-cheek comment which has lost itself in translation.
If Mr Gove had his finger anywhere near the pulse of young people these days, he would understand that no young person who knows who Simon Cowell is and has any interest in what he does, actually wants to be Simon Nowell, they only want to be X-Factor winners!

and that is the biggest problem for many young people, aspiring to be an X factor contestant, or someone on TOWIE, as opposed to getting decent grades and aspiring to be a doctor, scientist, engineer. I could be wrong, but it does seem that all these reality shows makes people into celeb wanabees, so we are having to get our professional people from overseas...
which depletes those countries of doctors, nurses, engineers....

Actually I think it's rather refreshing to hear someone recognise the element of luck in their sucess.
Too often people at the top think that they're there entirely through their skill and work and judgement and if everybody else worked as hard as they did then they'd be sucessful too - quite an arrogant view
Oh Michael Gove - what a surprise.
In reality I'd say the key to success is to get lucky and have the skill to recognise when you have and the bravery to grab the opportunity to make the most of it.
Most of us get lucky - we don't all make the most of it

No, quite a realistic view.

Actually, if you substitute the word 'circumstances' for 'luck', it's probably more accurate.
All entrepreneurs possess the correct levels of drive and business acumen, but it is circumstances which fall the right way at the right time for them, that allow them to pursue their career path.
Richard Branson started a mail-order record business from a phone box - no-one could ever do that again, because there is no mail order, no record business, and no phone boxes!
