Why we are special
Before I start with my post I would like to give a special thanks to @knowledgefruit
for his post "What if "Informal Education" comes first and "Formal Education" afterwards?" That influenced me to write this post.
We spend years and years in school then college just to graduate with a degree and some of us are already professors and that might be the highest you can reach from the formal studies, but what's next? Is it the end of the knowledge? Is that enough to build our life on?
On the other hand, we have the informal education (the one based on experience) that I consider as more important after some point in life than the formal one, maybe after we get our first university degree we will think about getting the next one then the next one and like that then we spent years of life on formal education only, that time you spent you might have got experience from different life situations that might have built you better than you expect.
Why they don't teach us how to deal with different life events at school?
What makes us (Humans) different than robots that we can choose, make decisions, just imagine if you have been taught what to do in every life situation... Now tell me why do we live then? Every human live to write their own story in life in their existence time, so imagine if all of us went through the same, then we aren't living anymore we are just passing time till we die.
We might ask for advice from experienced people who we believe that they made the right decisions or went through similar life events before, but the advice is to learn from it not copy it. The differentiation in humanity developed it across the years, each decision we make affect something in our life and maybe others life, we just have to carry this experience to others in some way or another and usually as a piece of advice and that's what makes us different from monkeys, for instance, monkeys are smart creatures that could build things by their own but what always happen that they don't have a way to communicate so each individual has to start from the very first and that's why we are different, that's why we learn from our own experience and still carry to others and tell them about but never teach it to them, so they can choose what they might see right and what might be wrong not just have the same reaction to everything.
Thanks everyone for reading the post, until next time.
It is a good question. I think you are answering that question not in a way I would have answered it. They should have thought us of how to cope with real life experience, why to save, why we should think out of the box and so on. Teach us basic life lessons, then we can go out with the experiences we have learned and live a more productive life, not wasting our time at school, to start learning the real life by yourself. Even though you are taught serious life lessons, you still can choose your path.
I really like the article. Thanks for sharing.
hi @lennyblogs, I really liked your post. It's true, instead of studying how to live, we should live and gain experiences and knowledge through the events that make us unique and define us. Experience is so much more valuable than studies many times, because in the end, in practice who has done it before, who has really had an experience, will know. That is why we see very talented people who do not need a university degree to achieve success.
Greetings! Very interesting post.
Thank you @lennyblogs for the mention.

This says it all.
To bend the reality, we need to question the reality!!
Certainly these are things that makes us different than robots and we must understand the value of such things that are given to being a human by the god. nice post my friend.

Life is a lesson itself, the school is just one form but different experience in life will open your eyes to more lessons. Nice read
