'f Jaw'-H ir- --H -- wffwvm- Q. ,fvuviss ,,, I ,,.,., W-ww, WHEN ARE WE COMPLETELY EDUCATED? Everyone is constantly striving to become better educated, and to obtain a more pleasing personality. Our elementary and high school educations give us a good start toward attaining these two goals. If we are among the fortunate ones who will go to college, we will be continuing our preliminary education on a more specialized level. This education in college trains us for what might well be our life work. Still college is iust a beginning for our real educa- tion which begins when we enter the world of business competition. lt is then, that we leave the intimacy of our friends and relatives and go into the big cold world. A person's education begins in the primary group which is comprised of our family and friends acquired through close personal uniss like church and school. It is in the impersonal business world, however, where we receive our real education. If our primary education isn't sound, if we have not learned to get along with the family and with school friends, our minds will experience difficulty meeting these new challenges. It is very important in the business world of today that our mind be able to absorb and retain new principles and practices, also we must be able to adapt ourselves easily to new situations and new people. If we aren't able to do so, we can never hop to be happy. In school we learn to develop personality. Many employers have said that they count personality very heavily when choosing a prospective employee. In selling positions especially, personality and learning ability are paramount to success. To answer my original question, when are we completely educated, l say never. The reason l give this answer is that we are always learning. There is a saying Yo can't teach an old dog new tricks, but there are two others to contradict this, You are never too old to learn, and You learn something new every day. To have a well-rounded pleasing personality and an alert up-to-date thinking mind, we must keep our eyes and ears open every day. Acquiring knowledge is a life- long occupation. There is no limit to the amount of knowledge we may acquire. There is no time in our life when our education is complete. There is always something more to learn. 3
