Education

Quoted

"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." - Malcolm X.


What do you think about this quote from Malcolm X? Do you agree and do you think you are ready for the future?
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels. - Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)

I agree! But our government doesn't seem to think so.. they are making it almost impossible for people who don't have a lot of money to study. I'm lucky I'm half way through.. Education gives you the knowledge to make the world a better place in the future. As long as you look ahead we've not come to a halt.

Education is rather important indeed. Even though quite some teenagers don't seem to think so and want to leave school as soon as it's possible.

Good education can get you almost anywhere at a certain point, if you want to and try hard enough. While during your education you get to deal with multiple things that also happen in 'the real world' and not only learn your profession, it is important to follow any kind of education to be better prepared for your future.

As being ready for the future? I don't know. Secretly you know quite a lot after your 3 BA years, but you don't have the idea you do. I still have 2 (or perhapse a bit more) years to go for my studies, so the feeling of being prepared will probably grow. The doubt of the future is also partly because of archaeology being a sort of dead branch, at least for regular jobs, so I'm more and more thinking that I could've better studies geography or so, but... I'm so far already that's I'll just see what it brings and try to make the best of it ;)

I agree with you. Good education brings you a lot further than almost everything else (beside good connections :rolleyes: ).

I'm going to study Geography and English, so let's see whether this is a better branch. ;) Well I already know what I more or less would like to do, so that should work out for me, I suppose. I'd like to get more to know in environment and development aid and then I might go abroad again for work. That'd be my goal, but I still have my years in front of me, so who knows...

Although Egypt isn't an advanced country, but here education has a huge support from government!
you can say it is for free! but that effects on the quality of education and real practical study!

About Malcom's quote ..

Education shouldn't mean just academic part, it means life too ..
as we live, as we learn how to satisfy with our surround environment! :)

About future,
I really don't know, u can say i have already graduated ( within few weeks )
i think i am ready for implementing what i studied, but still doubt about finding this job that i really want, and how will be my treatment with usual routine?! :huh: :S
Keep your friends close, you will always need them :)

I found another statement on another website:

Quoted

Education is the single most important factor in the development of a country.


Do you agree?
