In my application for employment for a few hours of pro bono work, I had to write a short essay on "Philisophy of education". The following is my submission&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look back and wonder where I would be if my family did not have the means or the resources to educate me. Would I be living in abject poverty? or would I be a little better off and be one one of those dropouts who became a millionaire? Upon analysis, I realise, education is not only a factor that influences a rags or riches story, but also has a lot more to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Education does not mean appending a list of degrees to your name, but it is the practical application of learning which makes a person educated. Rationality, common sense and modern outlook are the results of an input called education. These things broaden your outlook, make differentiation by caste, creed, color or religion look passe, and open you up to a far greater good called humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best thing anyone could do with education is spread it. Being literate and application of literacy for the benefit of the underpriviledged makes a person truly learned. It is one of this things which makes a homo sapien, a human being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedications: To all those who tried to pull my leg over my intention to work for the BLC. I wish you more luck next time. Also, the people who turned up in boston and made my weekend enjoyable viz. Abhi, Ashish, Rohan, Sara. Thanks for coming here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realisation: I still need to improve my writing / vocabulary and what not. I need to improve my english by atleast 50% more to be comprehensible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying of the day: Attitude, not aptitude, determines your altitude.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/457417213663694311-7824084415846771989?l=psoriatickhaaz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://psoriatickhaaz.blogspot.com/feeds/7824084415846771989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=457417213663694311&amp;postID=7824084415846771989' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/457417213663694311/posts/default/7824084415846771989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/457417213663694311/posts/default/7824084415846771989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://psoriatickhaaz.blogspot.com/2008/08/philosophy-of-education.html' title='Philosophy of education'/><author><name>Tarang Jatkar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07890556920778465905</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L_M-UdfVRI8/SNbffodWu1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/zcz107Sq6VM/S220/pic.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457417213663694311.post-8364834570671192071</id><published>2008-07-26T14:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-29T19:38:20.450-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Time ..
