Our genaration has become the one i can call the i have my education.
Most of us we think that education is only what is needed for a meaningful and a successful life.
The uncontastable truth is that education though it aids us in identifying opportunities and seizing them,it is not an end in its own but a means to an end.With the emphasis now placed on education with our governments, the widespread of educational institutions and online educational services everyone who is concerned has some form of educational qualification.This has also been jet propelled by curruption that has become the hallmark in most colleges and univesities.What is now differantiating those that make things happen from those that say what happened is your ability to blend your education with a host of other attributes like committment and focus to your life choices, sacrifice, determination, enduarance and patience.
Many relationships ended prematurely as the parties were not committed to nurture them because of the i have my education mentality.Most of us due to impatient we left some carreer milestone jobs as we did not have the much needed patience because we regard ourselves as educated.Yes, there are some facerts of life were we need to value ourselves and our education but applying it to all aspects of life has caused some to sleep under bridges with their degrees and some to wander from place to place searching for the right partner as well as greener pastueres.Those who succeded in changing the face of this world proved to us beyond any reasonable doubt that education is not in the top ten of success menu. Bill gates, the founder of microsoft is a college drop out but has impacted immensely on humanity and is one of the richest man in this world.The list is endless Richard branson the founder of virgin active is also another drop out but who have made fortunes not because of education but character. On the local scene, we have Jacob Zuma and Morgan Tsvangirai the prime minister of Zimbabwe all the two did not persue education to higher levels,where are they now?.
With unparalled determination and focus, they persued their choices in life and it paid dividents.Blend your education with character if you want to spring from your current comfort zone or else continue living life with fingers crossed.Do it from now and see the results.
you are in the right trck
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a diploma to be creative, but creativity can get you a diploma.
ReplyDeleteHie Nelson.My thoughts on that are the same with yours.I think its not how much you learn but how much you do with what you have learnt.University profesors are not the most highly payed but college drop outs like Bill Gates and Jonh travolta have unimaganable salaries!!!
