It is a general belief that we get educated in schools and colleges. I always aksed one qoestion to myself , "Do we really educated in schools and colleges ?" Generally, there is a consequences that some people do but most don't. Don't get me wrong. We receive a lot of information in schools and colleges. We do need information to be educated. But we also need to know the true meaning of education. There are two kinds of education.
1) Intellectual Education
2) Value-based Education
Intellectual education influences the head and values-based education influences the heart. In fact, education that does not train the heart can be dangerous. If we want to build character in our offices, homes and society, we must achieve a minimum level of moral and ethical literacy. Education that builds fundamental traits of character- such as honesty, compassion , courage , persistence and responsibility__is absolutely essential.
We don't need more academic education; we need more valu-based education. A person who is normally educated will be a lot better equipped to move up in life or succeed than will normally bankrupt person; with excellent academic qualifications.
