“Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity,” says Aristotle. Every year, September 8th is celebrated as “World Literacy day”. Education is the birth right of every individual irrespective of caste, creed, gender, skin colour, region, state, nationality, religion etc .
Do we perceive education with a good cause and desire? Question yourself! But most importantly, what exactly is this so called “education”? Education in simple words is an integrating lifelong process that helps to discover the lasting values of our life which ultimately modifies our behaviour. Individually, education helps you to understand yourself better; it helps you to realize your potential and qualities as a human being. It also helps you to tap into latent talent, so that you may be able to sharpen your skills.
By giving proper guidance and educating the youth we can witness an ideal society since youth is the heart of the nation. Surya Salim, a student perceiving Bachelors degree in St Joseph’s College explicates that education is something which helps not only to get a good job and settle in our life but also increases the well of knowledge in us. A person without education evidently cannot survive in this new and modern world where technology and science have gained a very well settled place. Hence if we stick to education today, then our tomorrow will be bright and efficient.
“Education is like a weapon, it is a sword that protects us and we must make the most of what we can while we are young and it is something which equips us to face the future as more responsible citizens,” says Prabhu.R , an English Professor (Andhra Pradesh).
“I see education as a powerful weapon in today's world. The best part about giving good Education is one cannot only make his fate better, but also the fate of the entire country better,” says a media professional, Maria Laveena (Reporter/Sub Editor of Bangalore based magazine called “Talk”.
Education is a philosophical journey that teaches you life, fun, frown, and grief and what not? For a country to be developed, education holds the lime light! Educating women gives a bright future to the society. Because if a man is educated, it is restrained to the man himself but if a woman is educated, the entire family receives its fruits.
Women and child education is very important for a better tomorrow which makes our society brighter and it is an everlasting process. Remember, “a good tree always gives good fruits.” Education is a grapevine of societies’ better tomorrow. There is no end for better tomorrow. Every day is better than the previous day. Educating ourselves throughout our life gives us a scope for the same. As the thirst of knowledge never ends, we must learn till we die as it is a treasure which accompanies its owner everywhere to see a better tomorrow on every “today”.
Gilbert K. Chesterton says "Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another." It always remains as a splendiferous gift for a better tomorrow!
