fh- YOUR DECISION Education , what a disagreeable, meaningless and hideous word. This is the attitude taken by the younger generation as it enters the stage of advanced learning. This stage is considered as a period of drudgery and displeasure. In general, can we say without hesitation that a good education is a worthless thing to possess? If education did not exist, how would people learn to read and write? They could not develop an advanced vocabulary and this would lead to a failure in one's own language. We could not correspond with one another in a fashionable and intellectual way. As a person acquires more education into his life, he enters a higher social sphere. He learns to pick out his friends and keep htem for many years to come. People of different levels will respect this person and his ideas - even if they do not agree with him. He is thought of better by the way he expresses and conducts himself throughout many different circumstances. This person will feel much happier knowing that he has a good reputation and people enjoy his company and pinions. Higher education leads to new discoveries, new inventions and new techniques. Without an education, how would Graham Bell have 'invented the telephone, James Watt discovered steam and invented the steam-engine or Henry Ford the automobile? We can even go as far as the discovery of the 'atomic bomb. Some might think these amous people one day were attacked by a brainstorm. In real fact, this brainstorm was education. People at that time ridiculed and hought these inventions and discoveries were weak-minded and selessg but what they did not take into consideration was the act that some day those silly inventions would be used thorugh- out the world. There are still many things to discover, many problems to solve and many cures to find. These can be achieved only throug interest, set goals and higher standards of learning. To conclude, I believe that education plays an important role in our lives. Success and work depends upon it. In my opinion, education in our democratic society is given to us on a silver platter, but I feel that a few os us do not take the opportunity to receive it full-heartedly.
