12、“Education has become the main provider of individual opportunity in our society. Just as property and money once were the keys to success, education has now become the element that most ensures success in life.”
Issue 12
Concerning the issue about which factor offers more opportunities for success in our society: education or money and property? Many people argues that education has become the most important factor that underlay a success. Others may hold some different perspectives. However , as far as I am concerned, education has no doubt constituted an imperative part of success , while other factors are of the same important , if not more. I will substantiate my viewpoint from following aspects.
In the first place, education teach people how to learn. As in today’s ever-changing society, one must be quickly responsive to the changes around. No textbook can contain everything that one will encounter in the real world. Thus, the ability to learn plays an significant role in becoming success. Just to mention one examples for tens-of-thousands classical ones. In IT realm, where the metabolism of knowledge is at a incredible fast speed, something newborn last month may be quite out-molded next month., much less the knowledge in textbooks. The inability to learn may reduce one to the edge of survival. Obviously , the most important skill to earn a living is provided by education., which is also the primary focus of education.
What is more, education helps people discriminate right from wrong. From time to time , people feel confused by the increasingly complex world. The border between right and wrong is blur and weak. Only with adequate education can one be better inform about the complexity and make out the right track.. here goes another examples, most top managers in big organization own MBA degree, and many staffs who aim to become a top manager apply for virous business schools. It is by no means a coincidence, as some may argue, because empirical evidence have make it clear that the more a manager is educated in business, the better he operates the company.
Admittedly, many other factors also contribute a lot to success, such as indigenes and persistence. Numerous cases have suggested that success is not a destination but a process, in which various elements are interrelated to each other. Given all the reasons listed above, which sometimes interwined to form a organic whole, and thus become more persuasive. We may safely arrive at the conclusion that by conferring people what they need to survive in the world , education has become one of the most important elements in success.
