Why Is Education Important?
New Tools To Help You Grow

Article

Why is education important? Maybe this seems like a silly question, one not worth asking. However, the more you understand about the lack of quality education throughout our society, the more you’ll realize why the question is necessary.

Clearly, there is financial incentive to go to college. A college degree greatly improved a person’s chances for obtaining a good job, a good income, and hopefully a good life.


Leadership Quote

 

"It is best to learn as we go, not go as we have learned."


- Leslie Jeanne Sahler

 

 

However, if this is the only answer you can think of for the question, Why is education important? then please read on.

Dr. Orison Swett Marden thoroughly understood why education was so important. It was his escape from his life as a poor and abused orphan. After graduating from Harvard, he found success in the business world and eventually went on to become a popular self-help author of the 20th century, introducing the powerful New Thought movement to America.

However, it wasn't just the opportunities a higher education gave him that led to his success in life.

Dr. Marden believed that the most valued gift that education gave him was self-discovery in the form of a good character.

In his book “Thoughts On Character,” Dr. Marden explained that the real difference between one man to the next was not the money in their bank account, or the clothes they wore, but the quality of their character. “Thoughts On Character” is a powerfully insightful guide for those who pursue fame, fortune, and other forms of success - and yet neglect the most important pursuit of all: their character.

So why is education important?

Education plays a big role in the quality of one’s life experience. It is not only a period of time when one can learn necessary skills and become enlightened about various subjects. In addition, one can study the outside world and thus learn more about his or her own self so as to properly utilize and share their new skills and insights within society.

So if you ever wonder “Why is education important?” do not underestimate the intangible benefits of continued education – as continuous learning and personal growth is highly critical to one’s success.

If you're interested in Dr. Marden's most insightful and inspirational books, you can listen to the Leadership Series For Successful Living.

Dr. Marden's secrets for success and insightful teachings from more than a century ago has never been so accessible. It could not be easier or more convenient to learn from his personal experiences and vast wisdom.

You will surely be more than just educated – but enchanted and inspired – by his works.
