I always thought that everyone can succeed but I was surprised to realise that not many people think that.
Do you believe that everyone has the ability to self-educate himself at a satisfying level?

Thanks to everyone who liked it!
@A Boring Android:
No, people differ and so do their situations. Not everyone has easy free access to education materials and not everyone has the same ability to learn by himself and could use some guidance. That being said, I think self education should be at core of educating people, but there's nothing wrong with asking someone to help you with your studies if you need it or if it could speed up your progress.
Also we should try to ensure that all people have access to the education materials and that there are good quality materials available, because even if you're naturally good at learning on your own, if you live in area with scarce sources of information, you're not going to do very well.
As for "everyone can succeed", that's very vague statement. Succeed at what? As with education, people's skills, abilities and also options and resources available to them differ. If you're in worse situation that someone else, it doesn't mean that you can't succeed, but it might be much more difficult for you.
If you for example want to run a business, you're probably going to have it much easier if you live in developed country, compared to a 3rd world country. And even in developed country someone who comes from rich family and has millions of dollars at his disposal for the start is going to have it easier than someone, who starts with almost nothing.
I love creativity and creating, I love science and rational thought, I am an open atheist and avid self-learner.

To be honest I don't see a point of having qualification if you don't have that needed skills for certain profession correct me if I'm wrong but that's just my opinion.

I think this is a very good read, I think the key points though have to be motivation and determination. Having a piece of paper with something on it which makes no sense is nothing compared to self thought skill. Most employers ask for skill backgrounds nowadays based solely on that.
