The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.  ~Bill Beattie

 

No man who worships education has got the best out of education.... Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete.  ~G.K. Chesterton

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.  ~Robert G. Ingersoll

Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.  ~William Haley

First of all I’d like to thank you for such a good post.

 

 

 

Quotes posted by you are very true.

 

 

 

We are just running behind the bookish knowledge, coaching classes, rank in exam and other stuff like that and in this race true knowledge ride has lost its identity somewhere.

 

 

 

Another proof of misunderstanding the meaning of true knowledge is ---we simply breakdown quite easily on a single exam failure and many student opt for suicide…but the real failure is when we overlook the knowledge that we have gained during that particular attempt. So we have to analyse ourselves and understand our own worth and put ourselves back on track.

 

 

 

We must understand that various educational institutes are just a means of gaining knowledge and they are not the sole distributors of knowledge. Knowledge is everywhere but all that we need is to figure out the real meaning of knowledge. As per my understanding we can earn true knowledge by our constant and honest efforts and self belief.
