True Meaning Of Education.

The middle class all around the globe put emphasis on being educated.Parents spend huge amount of money to enable their wards secure degrees and diplomas.However,among this rat race the true meaning of education lags behind.History teaches us that a majority of the great men of yester years were not as educated as a lot of people now and still they are the subject of our study.William Shakespeare didn't possess a master degree but his literary works are taught in the degree classes.Albert Einstein was a back bencher in school and his theory of relativity can confuse the best brains of modern times.These examples are only the tip of the iceberg as there are lot more that can be added.Now why were they ahead than us?Some will say that the  quality of the students were different while others will state that the students of the present time spend too much on private tuitions and less on honing their inherent skills.While all these are right to a certain extent what is the most important factor is we must educate our children to pass any test in their life.It is true that all of them cannt and never will come first in each and every test in their lives but we must ensure that they do not fail.Inculcating this among our children will enable them to overcome all obstacles and take life smoothly.
