When we were growing up, we used to believed that 'Education is the key to success'. We go to school to learn, we study hard to get satisfying grades and we strive hard to become who we want to be in the future. But then, education is not an easy thing. You have to spend most of your time of the day at school listening to your techers' lessons. And there are times that you feel so stress about the school works that has been given. But , why does education is important?
For me, education is important because it gives us knowledge, tools, and skills that we can use as the key for the opportunity of success in life. Education also serves as our treasure that no one can ever steal away from us, even our feet gets straight. But the question is, why there are some people who haven't finish their studies, yet they are able to become successful? And seeing those kind of people maybe you've been asked to yourselves if 'why do we have to study if we can be successful without education?' On the other hand, there are also some people who finished their studies but ain't able to become successful. But we can not just blame and judge them anyway because we don't know what they've been through. It's just sad to think, that some of them takes their education seriously, got high grades, and spends most of their times on studying yet it ends up not being used. By that, I can say that education is not just the key to success itself alone. It needs dedication, passion, patience, and hard work depending on the person's willingness to become successful. Because you know, it doesn't mean that you have your education today, you can just sit there and already assure to yourselves that you'll become successful in the future. No, it's not like that because you have to work for it, real hard. Maybe you've been heard that 'Education is powerful and knowledge is it's sword'. But no matter how educated and intelligent you are, if you don't know how to use your knowledge wisely to make your self grow, it will be useless. Don't just depend by your beliefs that 'grades are just numbers' coz they're not. It may not be the basis of your success but it defines of who you are and what kind of person are you. You may fail today but don't forget to stand right away and make that failure as an inspiration to do better. You are lucky enough to have your education because not all is given a chance to study. So strive hard, work hard, study hard until you'll become successful someday. Don't mind the negativities and toxicities that sorrounds you and enjoy on educating yourself. No matter what kind of future destiny might bring you, its always important to have an education, because it's the only weapon you can have until your last breath.
We may say that education will not assure you of what future you will have but it's importance will never change. The knowledge you get from educating yourselves plays an important role to mold you for the future ahead.
So as your co-learner, I just want to tell you all that it is not bad if you shouldn't focused too much on your education to the point that you already forgot the essence of life. And I an not saying to abandon your education too, rather use this as an instrument to explore more of yourself and not a system to revolve your world around. Because there's so much more than a bookish world that experiences can thought you. Don't get tired of studying because the one that makes us study never gets tired on us. And in order for you to be successful, you should have the will to fight for it until you get what you deserve. Just remember, your success depends on your action.
