Education is not the learning of facts...
"Education Is Not the Learning of Facts, But the Training of the Mind To Think."- Albert Einstein.
- No wonder!!! "It is not about how many years you spend in school but how well you utilized your time while in school."
Over the last couple of years, lots of creative minds have proved the above quote to be very TRUE.
Education is not in place to learn but sadly enough, it seems to be the case in certain parts of the world. Name it if you know.
Education is the training of the human mind to think. With a mind built to thing, nothing can be achieved; If you have a mind to think, you will make impacts in life.
There are a dozen individuals who have actually led credence to the above statement and made it what everyone is living.
"In school, life or any venture you find yourself, learn to be that mind that thinks and not one that is programmed to learn the facts of life."
Facts are stories and researches made by someone like you, (maybe smarter or even duller). They are those lines of words, codes, calculations made by someone for you to read and like you, they are humans, meaning, they may have made one or two mistakes.
I didn't get the luxury of attending school like a normal young man meaning, I didn't get it good with education; but one thing I learnt early in life was to apply everything I was thought into a think process.
Learning facts is what we are all used to.
Many of us are very good with learning new, old, great and very silly stuffs and we live daily learning new things. On the other hand, training your mind to be positioned for the best that there is is what is key, but sadly enough, not many are in the habit of training themselves.
I believe if you are not thinking you are not having the best of an education.

Well said.
Education truly is more than going to school. The only thing I think the school does is to amplify one's mind.
Education is training the mind to accept a broad range of ideas and concepts.

Plenty thanks for the swift reply
A knowledge that is not applied has no value. After the mind gas been trained to think, the knowledge must be applied for the effect to be felt. The end goal of education is the application of knowledge. Without application, the goal of educating the mind isn't yet achieved
Education is meant the to train our minds to think, once we have the mind to think, we will always make an impact in life. Thank you sir for this awesome post
