Let's be educated...

Education is an important part of our lives. But when I say education, I don’t only mean attending school and learning about Math, English or Filipino because education can be found outside the 4 walls of a classroom. A person can be educated in his/her home, work and surroundings. We can learn something in everything we do and I believe that can also be called education. Here are some quotes that might inspire you to continue learning.

Alvin Toffler:

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Arie de Gues:

Your ability to learn faster than your competition is your only sustainable competitive advantage.

Bill Beattie:

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.

Ethel Barrymore:

You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.

Henry Steele Commager:

Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.
