Science alone is not enough for real life

Humans are the most intelligent creatures among other living creatures. Humans are equipped with reason that is able to think great in their lives in the future. Since the first time we were born into the world, of course our parents hope that someday when we grow up we are able to become smart human beings in a field that we want.

On average, in developed countries, children aged 3-4 years have been taught how to speak well and some have even been taught how to read and count by their parents.

Then when they are 5-6 years old, they will start entering elementary school to learn and focus on basic sciences such as reading and writing.

The teaching and learning process that is carried out in every school in various countries certainly has a different way. Especially in developed countries, usually have very few learning hours in schools. Although school hours are very few, students in developed countries can be more effective in the lessons their teachers teach.

The government in a developed country makes rules for fewer student hours and not without reason, they already know that the potential of the student's brain will understand the lesson faster and can focus on the lessons explained by the teacher.

After graduating from school, of course this is just the beginning for them to become full-fledged people by thinking about how to survive in real life. Living without depending on parents' wealth, being able to work to make money, being able to save money from work, getting married, having children and being able to send their children to a high level and have a good career.

Of course it is not easy, even though we are also graduates from universities, not everyone is able to have a good career. Whereas people who graduate from college will have a good opportunity to get a good career because they have a diploma and of course high knowledge.

In this case I have heard soccer player cristiano ronaldo once say 'It's not enough to have talent if you don't train hard'. We know that everyone must have talent, whether it's talent in sports, singing or acting if we don't practice these talents, it certainly won't make us more successful in these fields. Professional players must also train their talents with hard work so that they can be better than others. Because we know that nothing in this world is instant.

In essence, if we have high knowledge but we have minimal work experience, believe me that people like that will only talk without proving it themselves. Because real life is real work, not just relying on knowledge. We will need experience, mentality, good attitude and a lot of knowledge if we want to have a good career for our real life.
