Education is important: Part 5

Knowledge is Power ... The Power of Education

Knowledge opens worlds of opportunities for you and me which is why the power of education is so important. Read on to learn what education can do for you.

Remember yourself as a ten-year-old? Sitting in school listening to your teacher who you likely adored.

She was reading you that really good chapter book and then stopped at the very best part. The whole class groaned and begged for her to keep going. You wanted to hear more, know more, understand more.

Without even knowing it, you craved that information. You wanted the story. You wanted more.

Here in lies the power of education. The basic human quality of wanting to know things.
The Cumulative Power of Learning

What happens when you know something that someone else doesn’t? You have a little more power.

Knowledge breeds power. It also breeds a wealth of traits to drive and improve the human experience.

Education is power because it gives people knowledge. Engagement breeds all kinds of other powerful traits.

The world’s brightest inventors, a country’s powerful leader were each born from their having an education.

Because education doesn’t just provide knowledge, it creates thinkers, inventors, problem solvers, and opportunity. A skill-based education can open doors to jobs.

It offers promotion and the ability to further oneself.

Try these study tips to make learning easier:

1.  Have all your materials ready before you begin studying – pencils, pens, highlighters, paper, etc.

2.  Be positive. Make sure your brain holds onto the information you are learning by reminding yourself how important it is to remember the work and get the marks.

3.  Take a walk outside. A change of scenery will stimulate your learning. You’ll be surprised at how much more you take in after being outside in the fresh air.

4.  Break up your learning sections into manageable parts. Trying to learn too much at one time will only result in a tired, unfocused and anxious brain.

5.  Keep your study sessions short but effective and reward yourself with short, constructive breaks.

6.  Teach your concepts to anyone who will listen. It might feel strange at first, but it is definitely worth reading your revision notes aloud.

7.  Your brain learns well with colours and pictures. Try to use them whenever you can.

8.  Be confident with the learning areas you know well and focus your brain energy on the sections that you find more difficult to take in.

9.  Repetition is the key to retaining information you have to learn. Keep going – don’t give up!

10.  Sleeping at least 8 hours every night, eating properly and drinking plenty of water are all important things you need to do for your brain. Studying for exams is like strenuous exercise, so you must be physically prepared.

Happy Mother's Day

Best Mom Award

For all the things I didn’t say,

About how I felt along the way–

For the love you gave and the work you’ve done,

Here’s appreciation from your admiring son.

You cared for me as a little tot,

When all I did was cry a lot,

And as I grew your work did too–

I ran and fell and got black and blue.

I grew some more and it didn’t stop;

Now you had to become a cop,

To worry about mistakes I’d make;

You kept me in line for my own sake.

I got older, and the story repeated;

You were always there whenever I needed.

You guided me and wished me the best,

I became wiser and knew I was blessed.

So, for all the times I didn’t say,

The love I felt for you each day,

Mom, read this so you can always see

Just how much you mean to me.

Mom, Thanks for everything!
