Gradate but still an illiterate?

[marinomario]

You can not just rely on an educational degree to achieve your dreams. Beyond that, you need a vibrant spirit and endless hard work. when you begin to enter the world of work, you are required to work hard to be able to climb the ladder to the top of success. A spirit that never goes out is needed so you do not decide to stop and fall down in the middle of the road.

if you still think that high education can always lead one to the top of success, change your mindset right now. Only fighting spirit and hard work can be the main ingredient to taste success

Some people have passed through school but do not possess what is expected of them to be called a graduate. I know of a boy in my school (university) days who cannot write down correctly his own personal details when need arises. His classmates were wondering how he managed to pass WAEC, JAMB and gained admission into university. This same boy was consistently been embarrassed for involving in series of examination malpractices. However, eventually he still managed and graduated though with extra years. Certificate is issued on the basis that the students have learned and showed unquestionable character. In our society today it is very common to see graduates still behaving and acting like people who did not attend a higher institution. Many graduates today are like illiterates especially in their field of study where they spent some years but cannot defend themselves let alone using it to solve problem.

When you go to school, they teach you what are in the books, teachers have planned lessons and the whole year you are credited educational systems. Which of these even guarantees you are literate? The school gives you a diploma but, life gives you the best part, manners. You may have gone to a well-educated facility but have you picked up good moral conduct to go with that? I am no saint but I try my best to practice good deeds. Being literate not just in education but also for the well-being of the human race.

Its true degree cant make you smart or educated or civilized or good human being because degrees can be purchased anywhere in the world. If you have money you can go to best colleges or universities, example for that is many dictators and their kids attended very prestigious colleges and universities around the world but still their attitude and behavior for other human beings remain poor or indecent, another example is top executive in big firms comes from big universities and colleges but many of them directly or indirectly involved in fraudulent activities. we believe getting degree or diploma is education but actual education is how an individual think, behave and conduct themselves in different situations.

I don't see anything strange here. It is common nowadays, when people go to university to do nothing. I really don't know why they do this? It is just a waste of time and money. Maybe this happens, because they go to university, because everyone goes, but in fact they don't really need this. And graduate fully illiterate just like they didn't study for 3 or 4 years. Finally, your knowledge depends only on your willingness to know.

Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Acadmically knowledge doesn`t make a person wise. A person really becomes smarter only when he learns from life, and not from books.
