On Education Part II

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
Aristotle

I adhere to this quotation. Education entails a lot of sacrifice. What is lacking for most students today is detrmination. Most of them are like driftwoods, they just float on the water and don't care where its flow brings them.

But if you remember well, there is a saying that "education is a lifelong process." Though we finish a degree already, learning does not end there. Every single day provides an opportunity for us to learn. We are all students and our EXPERIENCES are our best teachers.

We grow each day, if we just open our senses widely. Surely, the choices we make define our present and future. I do not say, I am a person full of wisdom already. I still have reserved a huge room for learning.

Many of us only decide to change or learn when we are faced with traumatic situations already. Do we really have to wait for such to happen before we do what is right?
