Do you know what does it mean to be educated?

We all have had the desire to become educated and noble human beings. To fulfill this desire, we enrolled ourselves in schools, colleges, and other institutions. Why? Because we think education can make us better at various things. It enriches our intellectual abilities. 

Being educated or learned doesn't only mean you have the ability to read, write and understand stuff. It means you can also apply your acquired knowledge when needed. If you don't have this ability, you cannot consider yourself to be an individual who can lead others and himself for a better future in this fast-paced world. 

Remember, your imagination and creativity are two things that make a difference in your life and others. We are humans, not robots, who don't have their own intelligence and only do what they're programmed to do. 

Now, if you want to become more skilled at a task you already do, or if your wish is to learn something that's very new to you, you'll have to practice! 

For example, you know your mother makes great tea, and you want to learn her recipe. You go to her and ask her to teach you, and she does. Now, you are all happy and excited to try making that special kind of tea yourself without her guidance. You follow all the instructions, but the result is a bitter-tasting, unswallowable disaster.  

Now, what are you going to do? You definitely aren't going to drop this idea of being able to make the delicious tea, right? Of course, you'll be sad for a minute, but you will try the recipe again and again until you master it.

The above example is there to make you understand the importance of determination. We practice because we have determination. And practice is the driving force that helps us become more creative. 

When one realises that he can CREATE, he starts to understand the true worth of education.
