Experience and Education Still Matter →

Education is the starting process for making people more thoughtful about the end destination. Once you learn something, you have to figure out the value of knowing it.

Experience is what it takes to know how to accomplish the something with less effort because of lessons previously learned.

What you learn and experience can often determine your success or failure. Effortful learning combined with real-life on-the-job experience is a winning formula for success. Your choices and your experiences help create the person that you are.

Sharing an experience within the context of the lecture or advice consolidates learning, fosters better understanding, and impresses longer in the minds of students or those having the experience. It simply puts theories to practice firsthand.

Education expands our vision and gives us knowledge of the world around us, and education changes it into something better. It changes our perspective of looking at life and enables us to form our points of view on things in life. It develops the capabilities to fight against injustice, violence, corruption, and other harmful societal elements.

“Change is the result of all true learning.-Leo Buscaglia” “Learning never exhausts the mind.-Leonardo da, Vinci.” “- Aristotle.” “Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence -Abigail Adams. ”

There is nothing new about the ideas behind Stephen Covey’s 7th habit that he wrote about in his 1989 book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. His message was that we should disconnect from the outer world to take time and recharge our batteries.

From Lincoln’s comment that If he had six hours to chop down a tree, he would spend the first four hours sharpening the ax, anyone who has ever chopped down a tree knows, of course, that time spent sharpening the ax is well worth it and will save more time than it costs. Dull axes mean you don't chop but instead just pound and pound. Time spent pounding suggests that recharging one’s batteries and rethinking would be wise.

Whether or not you are out of work, your skills have become dated. A close examination of your skills would be timely and before you draw any conclusions, remember: You don't know what you don't see, so you need to study your industry. Find out what is new. Find out what the competition is doing. Never stop learning.
