Education and Experience
by Ravikant on Oct 31, 2006 04:31 PM   Permalink

I do not consider that the issue begs a debate because without education there can be no worthwhile development of the self or of the spirit.Experience is a very nebulous word because every individual undergoes a unique experience. Only the useful portion of it can be replicated for securing one's living.
Education in the broadest sense is refined and formalised experience of the collective memory of mankind.It is for this reason alone that it is priceless and rightly valued in civilised societies.
Mr Dhirubhai, the man who achieved so much in his lifetime has never decried education for, he gave his sons the best of education and his rich legacy.
In today's complex world it has become impossible to function adequately without proper education.
To say that work experience alone matters is to shirk one's responsibility to make our children worthy and useful citizens of our land.
