your mind when you think about education?

loans but we'll skip that for now so
what do you think about is the
educational system schools universities
is it family education is it manners or
perhaps you haven't taken the time to
contemplate about this yet the
importance of education is far beyond
any simplistic explanation this is why
today we'll have a look at the real
purpose of Education and how this
information is going to benefit you for
the rest of your life but before we do

this is John he is a well-educated
individual overall he has a decent
living situation he finished his
postgraduate studies with a good grade
he has a good job a nice car he goes to
the gym regularly and he enjoys going
out with his mates
most people would define John as a
polite person a very well-mannered and
smart individual on the surface it might
seem like he's got it all figured out
yet John feels like he lacks something
he feels like after all the hard work he
put in he isn't in the place he wanted
to be he feels empty on the inside and
because of that he is unhappy John's
parents always told him to study well in
school and to get good grades because
that will help him get a good job and
then he'll have a peaceful life they
assume that a good education would make
him happy so in their case education was
necessary only because they thought that
it would help John live the kind of life
he wanted or maybe the life his
horoscope promised you see this is how
most families and individuals think they
value education because they understand
it is important but what is education
really what is its purpose what is this
thing that people value so much is
education really a tool that helps you
get a good job after you graduate or
just the debt that drags you down for
years after perhaps you should dig
deeper John and his family thought that
education means to get good grades and
have good manners however real education
is beyond earning degrees and it is
beyond any systematic instruction the
real purpose of education is to elevate
your consciousness the real purpose of
education is to evolve yourself
education is meant to help you reach a
higher state of being
assuming that education is important
only because that it can help you get a
good job after you graduate is dangerous
if you see things that way you just
limit yourself and why go over your debt
limit for that education is crucial
because it is the only way you can
develop a holistic understanding of the
world and yes that will make you happier
as a human being there are different
stages you need to go through in life
Abraham Maslow a famous psychologist
developed a theory of psychological
health predicated on fulfilling and mate
human needs and priority culminating in
self-actualization this theory is also
referred to as Maslow's hierarchy of
needs have a look at the picture as you
can see according to Maslow there are
six different tiers all of which contain
different sets of needs and know no
matter what your kid says a cell phone
is not a need the first tier is called
psychological needs and it refers to the
basic needs necessary to stay alive such
as air water food sleep and so forth
this tier is pretty apparent as you
cannot live without meeting these needs
why else would we have beds and
breakfasts the second tier is safety
needs once you've satisfied these
psychological needs the safety needs
must be met this tier includes things
like a house resources such as
employment and being able to secure your
property as sad as it might sound this
is not accomplished with the safety
dance once you've got those needs
satisfied there are a new set of needs
called love and belongingness as you can
see in the third tier it includes needs
like having good friends a good
relationship with your family and sexual
intimacy hence why women leave when you
don't meet their needs
the fourth tier is esteem and the needs
that Maslow described are also referred
to as what I'd like to call the ago it
needs in this tier Maslow emphasizes the
needs of recognition status importance
confidence and respect from others only
after those needs are relatively
satisfied you get into the juicy
territory of life the next tier on the
hierarchy is self-actualization here an
individual feels the need to be more
creative to develop a higher sense of
morality to be more spontaneous to solve
problems to make discoveries to accept
facts and it feels the need to
contribute to the society finally the
last tier self-transcendence is all
about true spirituality and
enlightenment in this tier you feel the
need of becoming more aware to develop
unconditional love and to attain new
levels of consciousness the real purpose
of education is to help yourself get
through these stages so that you can
meet your needs education should be the
vehicle that will get you to the top of
the hierarchy do not make the same
mistake John and his family did do not
assume that your education will stop one
day because you'll find yourself stuck
between those lower tiers and you will
be unhappy same as John education isn't
a destination it's a journey and no not
the band John stopped educating himself
after graduation because he assumed that
it was enough to live a rich and
vigorous life clearly what they were
missing was the real purpose and meaning
of education education is a never ending
process you must work on educating and
developing yourself up until the moment
you die
assuming that education simply means to
finish University and to get a
reasonable degree is by no means a big
mistake going to school getting a degree
and being able to have a job can help
you survive but there is so much more to
life than just that as we've learned
from John that will not make yourself
happier and it will not make you feel
fulfilled a super burrito however will
make you feel filled
but where does this misconception come
from why do most people believe that
education is important only because it
can help them get a good job and that
education should stop after graduation
perhaps we should have a look again at
John's case what John and his family
thought wasn't wrong it was only
partially correct going to school having
good manners and being well behaved is
part of your education by today's social
standards what they believed was
strictly shaped by the culture they
lived in as some people from different
countries do not even consider things
like manners part of their education
think of someone who lives in a tribe do
you think they care about their manners
nope
the only thing they care about is their
survival therefore their training and
education mean being able to hunt cook
and build shelters as they have
different needs what I want to tell you
by using this analogy is that education
is strictly defined by factors such as
your culture the education system family
friends and the environment you live in
