ARE BOOKS THE ONLY WAY TO EDUCTION?....

Book Summary by: Ron     

Original Author: Rohit Bhutani
There is a general misconception among the people that they rate a person's eduction by the amount of bookish knowledge he/she
has gained. Some people spend thier whole lives studying just to get a so called 'HIGHLY EDUCATED' tag and some are forced to. In countries like india, every child spends his one-fourth of his life studying. And at the end what all he gets is just the academic excellance with no practical application of it. There is no use of such education which doesnt proves to be useful when u need it the most. It is certain that without the basic academic knowledge we cant keep going but just the basic of it can be sufficient. It is a well observed fact that out of a man who spends whole of his college life studying for engineering or some other courses and a guy who learns how to live life and get the maximum out of it and equip his personality with the best possible qualities, most of the times the second one gets a better job. All it depicts that in this world there is no shortage of the so called 'Highly Educated' people but people with proper education are rarely found, proper in the sense that the education which you have got from your experience on this planet and what you have learnt from others and from nature. Your life is worthwhile, dont spend the whole of it in the service of books.
