Education, Education and yet again - Education

"Man is a mine rich in gems of inestimable value, lack of a proper education hath deprived him of that which he doth inherently possess." (Baha'i Writings)

This week has been all about education for our family.
Our daughter went to an end of year party for those leaving school; my wife attended a party at the school she taught at which was celebrating 40 years since the school opened; and I spent several days on a training course for Software Testing.

There are some who thing that once they leave school, that is the end of their education. I disagree, as do many more. There are training courses for adults on many different aspects of life - whether it be through employment training, religious groups running (Baha'i 'Study Circles', Christian Bible classes and so on), or through a club such as sports training, learning a new skill or hobby.

Every day is an opportunity to be a better person than the day before. Kinder, gentler, more compassionate, more skilled - that is what we all need to become. Go to it!
