"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance"
Some great person has rightly said, "if you think education is expensive, try ignorance". What the good soul implied was that being educated (having gained learning) is far better than being ignorant.
For some readers, from well off sections of society, the topic might look like rhetoric, but sadly it is still relevant in certain societies where people are still not able to get education as freely as may be case in much of the world. It is all the more pertinent to the poor people of underdeveloped nations.
Imagine a society without schools and colleges ! Impossible, right ? No matter how much we hate waking up early for school or studying all night for those tests and exams, we all know that education is very important. Now, I am not saying that an uneducated man has no chance of being successful or an educated man will surely do well in life. Exceptions are always there. However most of us will agree that an educated person gets better opportunities in life. It is easier for an educated person to be successful and realize his/ her goals and dreams as compared to someone who is uneducated. Other than success and prosperity, there are other reasons too why education is utmost necessary.
If one wants to lead a happy life and enjoy the good things the world has to offer, one certainly needs to get educated. A good job or vocation, a social recognition, well being, etc., are few of the many benefits of being educated. Education is a must for a promising and secure future and a stable life.
Education teaches us that superstitions are baseless, useless and may affect one's life negatively. Illiterate and uneducated people often tend to hold certain superstitious beliefs. Education and awareness are the best ways to combat superstitions and replace such beliefs with reason and logic.
We live in an ever changing world. New technologies keep coming up and if you don’t want to be left behind, you must keep up with the world which is moving really fast. Without education it will be really difficult for you to adapt to all these changes. An educated person is much more aware of the latest technologies and all the changes that are taking place in the world. For example, an uneducated person may not know about the benefits of the internet whereas an educated person uses this gift of technology regularly for work as well as for entertainment.
