Education is Never Ending

in #blog6 years ago (edited)

This is not an argument against furthering our studies, but more of a different perspective on a traditional paradigm. If you are a reader of this blog, you are well aware of how important I believe breaking paradigms are, and this is one that comes to mind right now.

In many countries and cultures we are told that we have to follow a set path. We have to go to school, go to college, get a good degree and then be successful. But believe me when I tell you, that formula works very rarely, at least broken down simply.

Most people end up studying not because they want to study and grow, but because they believe it's expected of them. You can think of it like having the necessary key to access a room where you are sure to find happiness, but all along you've still not figured out what happiness is.

In this journey many people end up in careers that they don't like and makes them miserable. On top of that, many people walk away with massive debt acquired to finish their career and the numbers don't really lie.

It's because of this I believe in a different type of education above the traditional one. I for one study constantly still, and even though you could say that I don't really need to, I'm aware that if I don't make an effort to stay up to date with the times, I will quickly become ineffective as a businessman and more importantly, as an investor.

So my message to you is this: No matter how young or old you are, no matter how many degrees you may have or not, everyone needs to actively work on their self education.

Dear @chbartist sir!
The book knowledge does not make us full. Practical knowledge is also necessary with book knowledge. There is no restriction of age for learning or learning. The process of acquiring knowledge begins with birth and the deceased continues. School education and degree are suitable only for living, for business and for a lot of other ways. The real lesson of life is to give us time, worldliness, Problems, or situations teach.It is a lesson that a person remembers for life. Learning in traditional schools, going to colleges is a form of paradigm. By breaking these statues, the education that teaches us in our circumstances is permanent. If our behavior is not flexible, we do not know how to value the relationship, then who has done this book knowledge?It is also said that be able to live in life, success will run away to you.Regards.

Un cordial saludo señor @chbartist
En mi opinión la clave del éxito de las personas esta en que cada quien tome el camino que desee para ser feliz, que cada quien escoja lo que le gusta hacer, también es fundamental tener a alguien que este detrás para dar apoyo cuando se necesite un consejo siempre viene bien cuando mas se necesita.

Everyone commenting on this !shitpost is a sheep. Baaaah!

school education will bring you a job , self education will bring you wealth ;)
cheers brother

I am an educator and I believe in permanent education: education as that infinite source of knowledge. But I also believe in the motivation that exists to educate us: if at home or in our environment that motivation does not exist, it will rarely be able to grow in us. Because it is not a spontaneous harassment. As you say, we don't need a higher education degree to be successful, but there must be self-training. If you are going to be a hairdresser, study everything that has to do with hairdressing; if you want to be a cook, you must learn everything that has to do with cooking. Obviously, many of these trades require talent and vocation, but they need to perfect you, polish you. And that brightness gives him an education. Thank you always for your advice, @ chbartist

Thank you Nancy

Could not ahree more with you bud

@chbartist, You made an great point for sure and by that i mean, Traditional Education System is making people limited because in schools everyone is just measured and rated as per the Percentages and numbers and for sure this kind of environment can make people limited because everyone is different and unique and in Traditional System we see the Comparison Race and this comparison makes many depressed. That's why self education and finding our own self is vital aspect for sure.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Thank you friend! Success

Welcome and thank you so much. 🙂

Education is the best investment for sure as it is something that is never lost and can be leveraged to make more investments. Many have complained about the current market conditions and I have repeatedly said that now is the best time to invest in yourself to prepare for the coming evolution of blockchain and AI.

Agree friend!

Great point. It's said that people who have built their success on their intelligence look for opportunities to learn all their lives and use the joy of learning to keep their brains active and nimble well into old age.

One of the best things I've learned in my life, a bit late but hopefully not too late is that if you learn to motivate yourself the only other barriers to learn something you will ever face are your own desire and time. Though at least time can be partially dealt with through learning proper time-management!

P.S. And the best way to learn motivation, it turns out, is to teach others just like you're doing right now :)

Thank you for your words!

A self-educated individual can aim to learn a little bit about everything, or they can work hard toward mastering a single subject. Either way, it is the act of taking your learning into your control.
What i mean is that self education is very important.

Yes friend!

I also believe with you. I always say that nobody stop learning. The day you die that is the day you stop learning. Education is beyond the going to school stuff and acquiring certificate for it. It is far far beyond that.
