"The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change." -Carl Rogers

Kota Sato

Basically studying means getting information to live safety and intelligently, I think. In our lives, there is lots of information which we can learn in schools and this information sometimes provides us useful hints to decide and understand what is required or asked. I’ll show some examples to prove my idea.

People tend to misunderstand that studying means something like homework in their lives and it is not interesting and useful. However I simply think studying gives some hints which make us realize the right way to grow up.  When we read some difficult books or foreign books, we always use dictionaries to find words which we don’t really know and then we can continue to read them easily. As well as in this case, we can learn lots of useful and helpful information from studying and studying means not only the subjects in schools but also some parts of subjects which you research from books or any other resources on the Internet.

For example, when a man gets a strong disease, lacking in knowledge or information about it, he may be in danger of losing his life. To prevent his disease from getting worse, at first he has to identify the way to get over it and its characteristics. Secondly, he would be advised to read some studies related to the disease and try to get information from books or some resources and then start organizing this information. Finally, he can get a good understanding about his disease and also can have a good way to get over it. Summing up he tries to learn some information to save himself and if he doesn’t do that his life might be gone.

In my case, the reason why I’m here is to give me chance to extend my way of thinking and this experience will be good education for my future. In other words, the experiences in New Zealand make me educated and think more widely for my future.

In conclusion, I want to say learning something is not our duty or something difficult but just useful and helpful ways to help us make decisions and understand our lives.

  1. I think you right Kota, school is too much about learning things we are not interested in ... but learning can be fun. It can be enjoyable to research things you want to know about and it rewards you too.

  4. I like what you said Kota. I think education is not all about schools and colleges and homework. It's also about experience. I, my self, have learned so much from my own experience in this life. Not everything from school or books and that's what some people understand education.

  5. Yes Kota. i think we can learn a lot of things from our life's days. for example, life's worries which can teach us how to think and trying to solve our problems to go on in the life . so education not only from a schools and colleges. it could be from our life's experiences.
