For too many years, people have thought education to be a means to an end. A process through which you acquire a skills set ready to take on the real world. A method wherein you learn what you need, to build a self-sustaining human being, merely in financial terms.
After being acquainted with some aspects of education management, I don't find much value in such high-held notions. Education is a about kindling life into someone. It is the essence through which we grow and evolve. It is transformation of a a boy/girl to a man/lady.
When in college, high school, or any other 'educational institute', one must develop a questioning mind and a thirst for knowledge. Books, readings, assignments, research papers, can get you only so far. For the real learning it is your mind and your drive that will take you another level in education. It is not just about getting straight As and a 4.0 GPA. It is about living a 'Complete life'. For many who think that staying all year a study room in a library and attaining the best possible honors is worthy of life, I employ you to see the difference between that boy and the man who developed not only in terms of knowledge but also a human being.
Bottom Line: Study hard, go out with friends on week-ends, join clubs and social activities, meet new people, LIVE THE COMPLETE LIFE.
