I was writing to a student recently and thought I'd share it here.
I always respect a person’s decision to improve their education and improve themselves.
You will find that "formal" education does not have all the answers. In fact, people learn best "informally" from stories, from talking to others, from their own 'tacit' experiences.
Consider the knowledge that is important to you, beyond what is required. Also, I find that it is important to keep things in perspective.
A formal course of study can provide you with direction and knowledge and a piece of paper that looks good on your resume.
Thousands, or millions, of others have come before you. They have struggled at times. So will you. They got through. No one was born knowing any of this stuff. We all had to learn it at some point.
So, please bear this in mind. Formal education is directional and not final. It is a beginning and not an end in itself. |
