The Best Legacy
THE BEST LEGACY
The billions of
different currencies spent each year on education extol the virtues and
inherent value of education. Education has always and will always be the
bedrock of sustainable development in any society. It will not be erroneous to
say that education plays a vital role in the capability of any nation to meet
its internal and external needs. Education boasts of over a millennium of
impartation and inculcation. No matter how advanced or primitive a society is,
education plays a top notch role in a society’s survival. Education ensures
that treasures, highly valued stand the test of time.
It is common
knowledge that education serves as a tool for the dissemination of knowledge
that helps in making informed decisions. Education forces the mind to put
things in perspective and gauge the validity of every aspect of reasoning. It
challenges the mind to accommodate a bevy of information that it has to
recollect in the blink of the eyelids. Education can turn the mind into a
storeroom or safe house where information regarded as sacred can be bestowed
for safekeeping. Anything that has to do with recollection of critical ideas
and points has their foundation in education.
In the drive to
prove supremacy, education is a decisive factor that sets the professionals
from the armatures. Education screens out mediocrity from excellence. It gives
very little room for continuous trial and error. It separates the developed
from the under developed or developing. Education, serves as a vehicle of
constant modification, correction and information. The pace of education and
its slope lends credence to the fact that the more of it in the treasure chest,
the more supreme a person, cause or nation will be.
Breaking and
crushing the status quo can only be achieved first by education. The status quo
is known by education. Generally accepted and verified ways of doing things
have to be taught before they can be imbibed as a way of life. Making the
effort to come to terms with the status quo is done entirely by education. This
same status quo passed on by education can trigger the “out-of-box” part of the
mind and cause a chain of reaction that will make the foundation upon which the
status quo is built to become shaky. Education causes the mind to churn out
several reasons why a pattern of thought is not correct.
As a legacy,
education has proved to be an invaluable one. Education has shattered the pride
of many with elevation and knowledge. Education has ensured the survival of
tongues, culture, tradition and history. Education is one weapon in the arsenal
of the owner that can wreck untold havoc and build unbelievable edifices.
Education gives boldness and rest of mind on the basics of its empowering
capabilities. As a legacy, education has severed the head of fanatics and
extremists who seek to lead astray. Education takes its wings and flies over the
range of fertile minds dropping precious seeds of salient facts and truths.
Education would take the mind to all valid lengths to cause a dam of genius to
let loose.
Education has potency
so strong that it can make or mar entire nations. It is a legacy that must be
guarded jealously and judiciously. Education can only be effective when it is
actively practiced through the dissemination and record of information in all
its acceptable forms. The legacy of education stays with the bearer and can
never be erased, removed or cancelled. As a legacy, education has proved to be
the main stay when other legacies fail, falter or disappoint. As a legacy, it
is both abstract and physical and can be passed along from one generation to
another without hiccups. It is the legacy that parents, society, nations and organizations
should strive to give generations yet to come.
