Education in its essence and its real meaning

by - Sanika Joshi

Education is defined in the dictionary as “The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for a mature life”. Heavy words can make our life more difficult so; let us actually travel through this path to understand the true essence of education.

Humans are gifted with a brain and the power of thinking. Over all other primates they are the most intelligent. They learn and teach others how to learn. They learn to live in an intelligent way. Let’s now see how education helps us do so.

Education makes you travel in a virtual world so that you can make an impact on the physical world. It teaches you to imagine, to dream, to learn, to live a mature life. In short it makes you aware of your surroundings.

The very concept of ‘education' implies a major role for challenging the imagination: that imagination of a particular challenge-hardened kind is, as it were, built into the very concept of education.

Education in itself is a vast realm of knowledge. An ocean of knowledge, ideas, inventions and a lot more. It is not merely confined to books. It goes way beyond that. In short, you can say it goes “beyond the sky's limits” (skyKpaar).It has no boundaries. In fact an individual gets the best education when it is in its natural form i.e. when Life becomes the teacher and exams never seem to end teaching one lesson after other. But this learning through an experience is forever embedded inside. You don’t need to mug it to remember. 

 

So it’s required that each one us make a conscious effort to stretch ourselves continuously and come out of the comfort zone to really grow and get educated in the true sense.

This is what skyKpaar does. We stretch students, put them in an environment where they naturally discover their true passions and are self-motivated to excel. They fall in love with themselves, their passions, their capabilities, their true calling. Their purpose seems clear to them and they don’t take off their eyes from the goal. Such is the state of being at ‘skyKpaar.’ Nothing else matters when you are at skyKpaar, you are busy following your interests in that state of mind and you feel elated, intoxicated with Passion.

 

That is when the real purpose of education would be attained and you would become an asset to this society, make this world a better place and leave a dent on it.

True Education makes you live your life to the fullest, To feel each moment of life. Education is the essence of life, make it yours !!
