Education
Different people have defined it in different words, as William Lowe Bryan, 10th president of Indiana believes, education is something a person is willing to get by money and expecting
nothing in return other than wisdom. Those who aim at earning money are not honest in their wish and ends up getting nothing.
John Ruskin who was an English critic defines education as merely not a medium of teaching people, what they do not know; but to teach them to behave and interact with others as they
do not practice in their daily lives.
Education is the art of learning that gives you awareness about yourself and teaches you how to deal with other people. It is transfer of knowledge, skills, experience and customs from one
generation to other.
There is a huge difference between Education and studies, most people confuse the two terms. If a person is enrolled in a degree program, he attend school on a daily basis, take classes, pay
school fees and come home only to read books again, e is definitely studying. But the purpose of studies is not only to read book, it is to learn the lesson of life from books and school. If he
is learning discipline from going to school at a certain time and coming back, learning time management, following time-table, obeying seniors, respecting teachers and completing
deadlines then he definitely is acquiring education.
To read the book and take the exam is not education. Education gives light that enlighten the path of life, until death takes over. Unfortunately, today the actual meaning of education is lost,
people waste tons of money for the sake of education but even after taking the degree, they may not be illiterate but they are not even educated.
