To Be Or Not To Be...Educated?

A major problem young people that have just graduated high school confront themselves with is choosing to continue their studies and going to college.

You might ask yourself "Well where’s the difficulty in that?"Almost everyone has a period when they get sick of work, sick of school; they feel exhausted and unable to continue that certain activity.

Once they’ve reached that certain point, only a few small but very important decisions draw the line between carrying on with the learning or working process and giving up and exposing ourselves to a life of mediocrity.

I consider mediocre people the ones that do not have the desire to do better, to shoot higher. They might have their reasons, they might not be motivated or they may not have certain conditions and it is perfectly understandable that they have weakened after being put down so many times. But still, they should be encouraged by others because human beings were gifted with the ability of standing up the eighth time after collapsing 7 times.

There are all sorts of different factors that can determine a human being to give up in certain conditions. Quitting is not a tragedy if the consequences are not of great and especially significant proportions. A random example might be sitting and waiting at a long line when finally you decide to go home and watching good old TiVo. Well, may that be the only situation in which you afford to quit. Of course, no one likes to be discouraged and discouragement sometimes makes us make wrong, hasty decisions.

We make the same kind of decisions when we are tired, also. But faced with the consequences, exhaustion and such won’t sound like a very good excuse. Will a moment through the valley make up for a life of limitations of all sorts?

Education is very important and, young man or woman, you have your whole life ahead of you and no matter how great the temptation of fast, easy money or short way to success may be, be sure that it only happens in the movies.

It’s not worth sacrificing your own happiness and the rewards that knowledge passes back to you for a mirage. This mirage has made many victims over the years and it` s a real life tragedy to see talents go to waste due to a moment of unclear thinking caused by diverse factors.

If you want to create a future for yourself, a bright one with many possibilities, you should spend more time with yourself. Yes, you heard right. Spend time with yourself, and get to know yourself.

Explore your talents, explore your capabilities and put them to work. Once you’ve done this, choose a field of activity and get the information you need .Talk to your parents, ask their advice. They will lovingly give it to you and they won’t hesitate to lend you a helping hand if needed.

After finishing college and getting that proper education in the field that best suits you and fulfils you desires, here comes another challenge: finding work. Work can bring happiness to a man. Everyone has certain passions, certain talents that they wish to use in a creative style. We can all benefit from each other` s God-given talents that’s why we would give our best interest to use them to the fullest.

We should set standards for ourselves and aim high so that we can hold our head up straight and earn respect and dignity. Once you start making a good life for yourself, you no longer have to worry about tomorrow’s obstacles and once you simplify your existence, you can think about other things, too. You’ll have more time for your other hobbies and passions.

Doing what we love gives us great satisfactions and a sense of fulfillment that few other things can offer you. If you can give yourself the chance to do what you love doing, after what seem small efforts in the past, and get paid for it, too, then why not do it? Why not go for it?

We cannot permit laziness to take over our lives and make decisions for us. It would be a waste of our person, a waste of our talents, a real life tragedy. Let’s get the single chance we are given!
