What's the essence of all the hustle and bustle and learning and reading and keeping all the sleepless night? Isn't it all about money?
What if I don't want to go through all these process, don't care if I'm a graduate or not or if I'm good at speaking good English or not buth I'm just focused on how to make the money and end up making the money, won't the end justify the means?
I sometimes feel that some of these ideal process that has been accepted by the majority of the people in the society as a part to be taken to greatness is too complex. I mean, we can just learn how to read and write and focus on how to make money. Those who want to become engineers can choose to do so but those that don't want to pass through those route shouldn't be seen as less of a person because at the end of the day, it's mostly all about money.
I know education is very important and should be considered a must for any growing child until adulthood. It may not matter how far the person reads to get a certificate, what's paramount is the input that is made with the knowledge gathered over the years.
Am sure some people may have heard of the phrase, 'educated illiterate.' it only just explains or means that despite all the qualifications, such a one still behaves like one who hasn't even seen the four walls of an institution of learning.
To make money is good and should be a priority, but what and why education is important is so that one can create and leave a lasting legacy for their offsprings or for the future generations.
Wealth creation and multiplication should not only be for survival, it should be for the best of the future generations, just like how the Rockefellers built generational wealth for their offsprings over decades of hustle and investments, and guess what, education played a key role in the strategy to keep the wealth within the family and away from scavengers.
