look at the real purpose of Education and how this information is going to benefit you for the rest of your life, but before we do any of that give us a like and consider to this Article for more Article like this which can potentially change your life for the better this is John he is a well-educated individual overall he has a decent living situation he finished his postgraduate studies with a good grade he has a good job a nice car he goes to the gym regularly, and he enjoys going out with his mates most people would define John as a polite person a very well-mannered and smart individual on the surface it might seem like he's got it all figured out yet, John feels like he lacks something he feels like after all the hard work he put in he isn't in the place he wanted to be he feels empty on the inside and because of that he is unhappy John's parents always told him to study well in school and to get good grades because that will help him get a good, job, and then he'll have a peaceful life they assume that a good education would make him happy so in their case education was necessary only because they thought that it would help John live the kind of life he wanted or maybe the life his horoscope promised you see this is how most families and individuals think they value education because they understand it is important but what is education really what is its purpose what is this thing that people value so much is education really a tool that helps you get a good job after you graduate or just the debt that drags you down for years after perhaps you should dig deeper John and his family thought that education means to get good grades and have good manners however real education is beyond earning degrees, and it is beyond any systematic instruction the real purpose of education is to elevate your consciousness the real purpose of education is to evolve yourself education is meant to help you reach a higher state of being assuming that education is important only because that it can help you get a good job after you graduate is dangerous if you see things that way you just limit yourself and why go over your debt limit for that education is crucial because it is the only way you can develop a holistic understanding of the world and yes that will make you happier as a human being there are different stages you need to go through in life Abraham Maslow a famous psychologist developed a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling and mate human needs and priority culminating in self-actualization this theory is also referred to as Maslow's hierarchy of needs has a look at the picture as you can see according to Maslow there are six different tiers all of which contain different sets of needs and know no matter what your kid says a cell phone is not a need the first tier is called psychological needs, and it refers to the basic needs necessary to stay alive such as air water food sleep and so forth this tier is pretty apparent as you cannot live without meeting these needs why else would we have beds and breakfasts the second tier is safety needs once you've satisfied these psychological needs the safety needs must be met this tier includes things like a house resource, such as employment and being able to secure your property as sad as it might sound this is not accomplished with the safety dance once you've got those needs satisfied there are a new set of needs called love and belongingness as you can see in the third tier it includes needs like having good friends a good relationship with your family and intimacy hence why women leave when you don't meet their needs the fourth tier is esteem and the needs that Maslow described are also referred to as what I'd like to call the ago it needs in this tier Maslow emphasizes the needs of recognition status importance confidence and respect from others only after those needs are relatively satisfied you get into the juicy territory of life the next tier on the hierarchy is self-actualization here an individual feels the need to be more creative to develop a higher sense of morality to be more spontaneous to solve problems to make discoveries to accept facts, and it feels the need to contribute to the society finally the last tier self-transcendence is all about true spirituality and enlightenment in this tier you feel the need of becoming more aware to develop unconditional love and to attain new levels of consciousness the real purpose of education is to help yourself get through these stages so that you can meet your need's education should be the vehicle that will get you to the top of the hierarchy do not make the same mistake John and his family did do not assume that your education will stop one day because you'll find yourself stuck between those lower tiers, and you will be unhappy same as John education isn't a destination it's a journey and no not the band John stopped educating himself after graduation because he assumed that it was enough to live a rich and vigorous life clearly what they were missing was the real purpose and meaning of education is a never ending process you must work on educating and developing yourself up until the moment you die assuming that education simply means to finish University and to get a reasonable degree is by no means a big mistake going to school getting a degree and being able to have a job can help you survive but there is so much more to life than just that as we've learned from John that will not make yourself happier, and it will not make you feel fulfilled a super burrito however will make you feel filled but where does this misconception come from why do most people believe that education is important only because it can help them get a good job and that education should stop after graduation perhaps we should have a look again at John's case what John and his family thought wasn't wrong it was only partially correct going to school having good manners and being well-behaved is part of your education by today's social standards what they believed was strictly shaped by the culture they lived in as some people from different countries do not even consider things like manners part of their education think of someone who lives in a tribe do you think they care about their manners nope the only thing they care about is their survival therefore their training and education mean being able to hunt cook and build shelters as they have different needs what I want to tell you by using this analogy is that education is strictly defined by factors such as your culture the education system family friends and the environment you live in you should be grateful because you stumbled upon this video the
