EDUCATION IS NOTHING, BUT WHAT YOU DO WITH IT IS SOMETHING http://mrrights.com.ng/?p=646
The kind of Education you acquire doesn’t really matter, it could be formal or informal Education. The degrees you acquire also doesn’t really matter as such , it could be first, second or third degree. Your grades also make little or no meaning when talking about life success. What mattered, in the real sense of life is what you do with all the knowledge you got from your education. Evidences before us indicate that, Formal education is the best, it places people in a more better position to excel, it opens up more opportunities and give people platform to launch themselves into the world without any limitation. Informal education on the other hand is also good, but it’s prospect seems limited. However, no matter the limitation associated with informal education, one who acquire such education may achieve everything someone with formal education achieve. It depends on how they use their informal education in tackling challenges around their world.
Education is information. Those in academics stored it in a book. You have to read to get access to it, but as for those in the informal sector, they pass it orally and through practical demonstrations. Although, everyone living in the modern world need certain level of formal education to fits in, but you do not necessarily need high level of formal education to do great things in life. I know of a man, who never attended any formal school, not even primary school, yet build and own a private University, thereby employing people who had all the formal education in this world. The information you got from your education (formal or informal) is what you need to apply to your practical world. In a nutshell, whether you are a graduate from the University, or a graduate from the Mechanic workshop, it doesn’t matter where you graduated or acquire your education, what mattered is how you utilize the knowledge and information you acquire.
If a Mechanic utilize his education in a more better way than a graduate of Mechanical engineering, Mechanic Education would bring more success to the Mechanic than Mechanical engineering would do to a University graduate. If a locally trained movie artist or local film producer utilizes his or her skills more better than that of a University trained artist and producer, the locally trained may achieve more success than the University trained graduate in the same field. So, there is nothing to be proud about your degree, grade or certificate, it’s as good as useless. What you can be proud of however is what you do with the education and information you got from your education. Education is nothing, until you do something with it.http://mrrights.com.ng/?p=646
