Day 49 of wisdom
“Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.”
John Dewey.
The oxford dictionary defines 'education' as the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university, an alternative definition by the same dictionary is 'an enlightening experience', but the most accurate, and suitable definition of education is 'life'. Life in itself is a process in which education is a critical constituent.
As one grows through life, education occurs naturally, and your response to the teachings of life determines your growth rate, and what you get out of life. One must be attentive to the process, learn from the experiences, learn from mistakes, and avoid its repetition. As much as possible one must be ready to accept the responsibilities that life brings our way, for through them we become better.
We must be committed to the lifelong process of learning, and becoming better than we were the previous day, we must be engaged in the social growth of ourselves, and the our society.
Education is not schooling, education is living.
