DAY 6 OF 30

 SUCCESS 

We live in a time when a good education is a necessity. Without a good education, our kids will not be able to survive the competitive world or carve their own successes. Even primary education has now been considered insufficient for anyone looking for a decent paying job. Kids have to finish undergraduate studies or they will find themselves left behind by their peers. 

Proverbs reminds us that good schools and good education do not guarantee knowing true wisdom. Although a great deal of learning and knowledge can be learned in schools, ethics and morals are often left out. Even Christian schools find it challenging to keep students’ spiritual and moral attitudes in check. At the end of the day, good schools can teach a great deal of head knowledge. However, unless spiritual and moral attitude is taken to heart, diplomas and all other accolades does not guarantee true wisdom and knowledge.
