Is English necessary to succeed in life?

                               As per my opinion it is not absolutely necessary to succeed in life, but it is an advantage to speak proper English in excel in academic, Interview and getting jobs in multinational companies.Because English is a globally accepted language. English is the secondary language for most of the countries.                                              I found a problem like so many peoples are getting jobs even if they are not well talented but they are well in good English (communication), especially in BPO's. We should not forget there are lot of much  talented peoples but not placing in a proper position lack of English speaking skill.                                                In India we are ignoring peoples who is not able to speak English. All the software applications and all the top websites are all written in English.We should learn English if we are looking for jobs in foreign country because there is no other language globally accepted.

                              Thanks a lot  and give your suggestions  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
