subject: To Go To School or Not Go To School [print this page] Have you found yourself wondering what to do with your life?
You have reached that age of decision making. You are in your late teens or early twenties. everybody is asking you whether or not you will be attending college. They want to know which college and what you will be studying.
You have no idea. You don't know what you want to be or where you want to go. There are so many people to please, but how can you please yourself.
It is a time of conflicting emotions and ideas. It is a time that will shape your future.
I am here to tell you that school is not right for everyone. I am not saying this as a message to everyone. I agree with most that school is mostly for everyone. But there are people out there that are not designed for school. Not because they are less intelligent than others. Not because they are particularly gifted and do not need to learn. In fact every single person on the face of the green earth needs to learn day in and day out.
Learning is a way of life. School has however claimed a false presence in many peoples mind that it is the only place to get valuable knowledge. It is becoming a wider problem of our society that people only learn in school.
A problem of unlearned people in a day of knowledge everywhere. We can learn almost anything anywhere. We have libraries at our finger tips while traveling on the bus. We have more information around us then ever before. The one thing that is necessary to learn is a desire. A desire to dive into the fire of knowledge.
I recommend to you. You who are facing the day of decision. I recommend that you get a desire to learn. A desire to achieve and progress forward in your life. If you have these and you take hold of that desire by acting, then you have no reason to fear. You may not know exactly what you want to do or what you will do but you will do it. You will do it because you have faith in yourself.
Go and conquer the world. You only have one lifetime to do it. You might as well do it now because this is your only shot. There are no replays of life. There are no redoes. Let your heart lead you and become all that you can be. And that might be with school or without, that is up to you to decide!!
