Being educated means knowing manners and the correct way of behaving. It seems like modern society has forgotten this concept. It seems like people want to have everyone respect them, but they are unwilling or unable to respect others. Being educated means being able to show concerns for the feelings of others and make decisions based on these concerns for others.

Since parents don’t seem to want to teach their kids manners, they only teach them how to be self absorbed. I wish schools could teach them, but we can’t or else we get complaining parents.

I am teacher so I guess I am sort of biased in this respect, but I feel that education is one of the best personal investments that you can make in your life. Now, I do differ from how other people characterize the investment though.

Others try to say that society is investing in the education of the children. That is true, but it’s not a very good investment if you judge it by the same criteria you would evaluate any investment. The greatest investment is the investment we make ourselves in education.

How is this? Well, when you invest your own money into better educating yourself, you will see investment returns in the form of more knowledge, better skills and a higher salary. An investment in education can result in a several fold increase in just a few years.

By that yardstick, education surpasses any other investment in terms of the return on investment. Education really is the best investment you can make.
