Education is the key to success. Illiteracy and education are like the darkness and light. When we walk in the darkness, it is very difficult to choose the correct route. The more illuminated your paths become, the more easily we can reach our destination.
Education is your lantern.
When we walk in the light, we see the whole new world in front of us, and many routes that could easily help us go where we want. In this article, we'll discuss a few of the reasons why I think education is important.
1 - Education boosts your confidence
When you know that you are more educated than most candidates, you'll feel confident when you submit your cover letter and resume to a company. You'll know that you have a great chance of getting an interview. After you land the interview, your confidence will follow you into the interview room.
An uneducated person is often nervous about applying for a small job, be it a salesman or an entry-level position at a small company. He knows that his chances of being noticed and being heard are very low. Such feelings create hopelessness and lack of confidence, which in turns eats him alive.
Education alone isn't enough to land you many jobs. For a lot of jobs, experience and past performance are the most important factors. However, being educated will help you get your foot in the door. It will help you communicate well with others. It will allow you to showcase your intelligence on the job, and it will help get you promoted more quickly.
2 - Ability to make better decisions
Education will help you to differentiate between various paths and determine which is more worthwhile. This is one of the biggest reasons why you should focus more on your education.
As you grow older, you will have to make a lot of decisions. Some will be much more important than others, but each decision will have its own advantages and disadvantages. When you're able to make the best decisions at the right time, it opens doors for more and better opportunities.
3 - The world becomes a safer place to live
Here where I live, people won't taunt you whenever you'll go outside. People will respect you because of your education. They'll come to ask your suggestions on various matters. I don't know about other cultures, to be honest, but in case of Pakistan, if your education is good enough, you can easily marry a beautiful girl. Here in Pakistan, parents are conscientious about choosing the right person for their daughters.
Education contributes to social harmony, and you'll more easily build a large network of quality friends. You'll find that people will respect and value your opinions.
There are countless reasons why education is extremely important for everyone, and I've only explained a few of the important ones. If you believe that I've missed any important reason, please comment below. I'd be happy to see what you think.
