My Understanding of the True Meaning ofEducation
我明白了教育真意
With the rapid development of society, almosteveryone wants to be educated.
However, manypeople hold an erroneous view towards education. They think ,
probably most parents do, that througheducation, they will, or their children
will, turn out tobe either prominent scholars or rich merchants. Tothem,
education suggests merely fame or riches.
The aim of education, in my understanding, is set upon deeper and more
important mentalaccomplishments and moral culture. When we study at school or at
the university, we arecertainly aiming at a profound learning of various
subjects, for that is one of the essentialthings and a fundamental indispensable
for building up our future career. Equally importantis the moral education which
we must receive either at school or at the university, for buildingour
character.
On the other hand, education does not simply mean "going to school." We
cannot considerourselves well-educated and superior just because we are the
fortunate ones who can gosomewhere to study, thus looking down upon those who
cannot get such golden chances asours. It is a truth univer sally known that
that a doctor is different from a black smith is notbecause the former has
received higher education and the latter has not.
To conclude my essay, I would like to quote an old saying "Learn whatever
it may be, whenever you can, and whenever you will, " and this, I think , is the
true meaning of education. |
