EDUCATION - A POWERFUL TOOL

Education is the act of learning things around us. It helps us to easily understand and deal with any problem and in every aspect. Education is a basic right of every human being. Without education, we are incomplete and our lives are almost useless. Education helps us to set a goal and go ahead by working on achieving such goal.

Home is the first place of education and parents especially mothers, are first teachers in everyone’s life. We become well-educated persons through the efforts of our parents and teachers. A good education is much needed for everyone to go ahead in life and get success. It develops confidence and helps in building a person’s personality. Education has three divisions such as primary education, secondary education, and higher secondary education. Primary education prepares the base, secondary education prepares the path for further study and higher secondary education prepares the ultimate path of the future. Our good or bad education decides the person we could be in the future.

Education adds a variety of advantages to life, individually and collectively. Here are some reasons why it is pertinent to be educated:

·         Stable, balanced and self-dependent life

            Education may not be the key to happiness but it definitely is the key to a lot of other changes which come together to make you happy.

·         Earn your own living

You ought to work for self-sufficiency and dependency and education helps you gain job opportunities for financial independence. Also, education helps you to build a network with people whose resources might work the best to your benefit, if you choose to be self-employed.

·         Avoiding societal embarrassment

It is extremely important that you be on par with the “knowledge database” to be able to mingle in a certain societal setting without feeling embarrassed or like an outcast. Education helps you broaden the spectrum of knowledge and builds your mind and reason.

·         Not being easily fooled

An educated person would listen to all and do what suits him best. It is difficult to fool an educated person for it could take reasoning and logic to get him in the trap.

It is only through education that you’d have multiple level goals and a number of ways to reach them. You will get your dream to come true and you’d try in every way possible till you succeed. The uneducated may have intellectual and labor capacity, but the lack of understanding of multiple ways to achieve their goals is often an obstacle.

It is in the habit of most uneducated persons to spring up on arguments and cause harm to others and to self. Education would rather channel your temper towards a more productive and peaceful goal. The world would be more peaceful without wars and battles.
