That isn't the same question. Human relationships and worthiness or 'winning at life' are defined far differently as a child than as an adult.

You need three things,

work you enjoy
interests you enjoy
people you enjoy

Then you win.

Education is more important, and with a better education you can become famous by being a leading politician or doctor or lawyer or author

I hear tell ignorance is bliss though, so you wouldn't know you were a dumbdumb. I wouldn't even care about being famous, give me some stupid any day.

Fame or education, depends on what you want from life. If you want to be a singer/actor/writer/tv personality, fame is essential because those respective careers would pretty much fizzle out without fame.If you want a non-celebrity job, then I guess education is important.

A billionaire real-estate tycoon with a degree from one of the world's leading universities. His ability to understand the American media has made him far more successful than the majority of us can be.

Point being, hate his views all you want. But to allude to the idea that he's 'stupid' would be a huge misunderstanding of the situation. Moreover, this is the reason many leading pundits and pollsters didn't predict his success.
