I stumbled across an article that said Mark Wahlberg is going to get his high school diploma. What does it tell you when a multi-millionaire actor wants a high school diploma?
It means there is value in getting one. This is a man who’s seen more of the world than most and experienced things to fill 3 or 4 lifetimes yet he still feels a little intimidated by the process.
What does that tell you?
Education is worth something. It’s not just self-esteem issue. The stats are staggering, but let’s face it, most high school dropouts don’t care about the stats, but they might care about a RICH, SUCCESSFUL ACTOR going back to school.
So there you have it – ONE MORE REASON TO STAY IN SCHOOL!
In fact education if it is education in the right sense is liberating. I fully agree with Will Durant when he wrote “education is the moulting of dogmas a progress towards the art of doubt.” This means education aught to endow us with an open mind and I think when people realise this then they would certainly go for education. However, there is a flip side to it. One should not carry the open mindedness and doubting toms’ syndrome to the extreme for such tendencies would create psychiatric cases. So a balance is necessary: one must also generate faith in oneself along with a critical bent of mind to benefit from the liberating influence of education.
