Briefly, education means the acquisition of knowledge and abilities, and the development of one's character and mental powers by systematic training and instruction. Education is therefore of great value of any person.
It has been realised that a person without education is deprived of many benefits. He not only lacks the knowledge of human affairs but also the ability to appreciate the value of many of the things that concern his own welfare. Thus, he is not able to develop his personality to the fullest extent.
One of the greatest benefits of education is that it helps a person to understand the position that he occupies in society. It helps him to speak and conduct himself with confidence and dignity which earn him the respect and admiration of others. Thus, he occupies an important in society, and people look up to him as their leader.
Another benefit of education, today, is that it helps one to secure lucrative employment. In the world of today, almost every kind of employment requires some understanding of a few basic principles of science, mathematics, economics, engineering, accountancy or some other subjects, on the part of the worker. Thus, the better education a person has, the better prospects he has securing attractive positions in various professions.
Finally, education makes a person sympathetic and considerate towards others. He is helpful to those who need his advice and guidance, and is not critical of those who commit offences or mistakes out of ignorance necessity. Further, he does not like to hurt the feeling of others. Even if he is extremely provoked, he tries to express his displeasure or anger in words which give the slightest offence to others and yet express his outraged feelings adequately.
As a result of all these qualities that a person acquires through education, he becomes a very pleasant person to associate with. He thus lives a fuller life in society.
Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.............!
When it comes to the issue of understanding of life, some people suggest that the best way to learn about life is getting others opinions, while other people maintain that the best way of learning is through personal experience. From my point of view, the latter opinion carries more weight.
In the first place, learning from previous successful experiences is beneficial for people. For instance, a student who is preparing for an important exam can think of the past exams that he did very well, and he can review more effectively if he learns from these exam experiences. Moreover, the student can acquire the lesson from life that people who work effectively can be successful.
In the second place, learning from past failures can help people to understand the meaning of life. An example is that losing money because of unwise investments is part of many businessmen's experoences. When a businessman is planning to invest a big amount of money, he can look back at his experiences of the past and avoid pitfalls that may cause him to lose money again. As a result, he probably will seek advice from professional people and plan his investment more carefully this time. Learning from those failures can surely help people learn how to make wise decisions in life, and people can understand that avoiding mistakes is the key to success in life.
In conclusion, although learning from one's personal experience may have a few drawbacks, its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. Both good and bad experiences can help people understand life better. . . . . . :) :) :) :) :)
What do you want most in a friend - Someone who is intellgent, or someone who has a sense of humour / humor or ( US ), or someone who is reliable ? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice. . . . . . . .!
Almost every person in the world needs friends. Different people hlod different opinions in choosing friends. Some consider intelligence as the most important characteristic in their friends; others regard a sense of humor as the most significant personality. As far as I am concerned, reliability, which means faith, confidence and trust, is of vital importance. The reasons go as follows.
Firstly, based on reliability, frendship can be lasting. On the one hand, when your friends are faithful, you would love to get in close touch with them. For instance , you could reveal your secrets to them without worry about being betrayed, and tell them your pleasure so as to double the joys. On the other hand, when you are loyal to your friends, they would also like to keep relationship between each other. Undoubtedly , you will be frequently invited to friends get-togethers and discussions, in which your opinions will be fully taken into consideration since your friends respect you and know your suggestion does good not only to yourself but also to them. Thus, willingness of both your friends and you to continue the formed friendship will lead to your perpetual friendship.
What's more, reliability makes real friendship more solid and deeper. Take borrowing money as example; it is almost completely sure that, probably besides your family, people you ask for money are your most reliable frienss. You turn to them because you trust their sincerity to give you help and , at the same time, they exert themselves to meet your need because they are confident of your attitude to your friendship, to be more specific, your promise to return money. Friendship between those friends and you, thereby, gets further development and finally becomes really invaluable friendshio just in coincidence with the old saying- a friend in need is a friend indeed.
In conclusion, reliability can be a norm to examine the real friendship and motivate people their friendship. When I choose my friends, reliability is the foremost factor to be considered. Not only should my friends be reliable to our friendship, but also I should.
Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good realtionship with my parents. They have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a greet deal about how to live my life. Parents can be very important teachers in our lives; however, they are not always the best teachers.
Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit a child's freedom in the name of safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. They can't seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science too. But what if their child's true love is art, or writing, or car repair?
Parents are usually eager to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different ways of thinking. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they realize there are other views. Sometimes parents , especially older ones, can't keep up with rapid social or technological changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that his parents have narrower views. A student who loves computers may find that her parents don't really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable........:) :) :)
