THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE & EDUCATION

Why do we need knowledge and how do we utilize education? What is the importance of knowledge and education? Ask a couple of five-year old kids and they will say “to become smart” or to be someone famous!

As cute as it sounds, there is a lot more truth to just becoming smart or becoming famous. Knowledge is a way to gain necessary information and applying it. It is a tool to further your education. It is an instrument to get out of “the box.” Knowledge is Power! Knowledge is information that your brain stores so that when you question or try to understand things, you will have the appropriate answers and awareness to situations, events and problems. Knowledge is the ability to develop solutions by way of making sense of things, but there’s more, a lot more that becomes Education as the sum of all the knowledge you store for years and years throughout one’s life. The point is to utilize this education to make a positive difference. It’s really about growth and self-development.

So how do we gain Knowledge and education? Let’s start with people. When we talk with and hear people, we are getting knowledge about them. When we are invited to a conversation, we gain a better understanding about someone and the situation. Whether it’s a conversation, or personal news, at the end of it, we know a little more than we did when we began. The best part is the learning process. Knowledge is an event that is learned. Education is also a learning experience.

Traditionally, we go to school and we learn facts, figures and equations. This is the knowledge we learn to get an education. Ask another five-year old what Education is, and they will most likely say “Education is school.”

So really, Knowledge and education go hand in hand, but the learning experience is everything you collect and store in your brain which becomes your way of thinking. From your way of thinking comes your way of life and it all goes back to your way of collecting knowledge, which becomes your education. What you learn, collect and store, is the importance you put on your knowledge and education, because education is not only about going to school, but how you apply your learning and knowledge to life.

Obtaining knowledge and education is not hard nor is it impossible because one learns every day. How you utilize the knowledge you gain is the knowledge which eventually becomes your education! Its importance is based solely on YOU!

I hope you understand that the importance of Knowledge and Education is YOU!
