Sharing Wisdom
“You can never be overdressed or overeducated”, once said Oscar Wilde.
These few but significant words make us believe that a proper education is the
answer to everything. Personally I fully agree with this quotation because by receiving an education, people obtain the
knowledge, skills and training that are necessary to succeed in life. The author also thinks highly of being well dressed. The way we present
ourselves to the public is obviously essential in producing a respectful impression.
But knowing Oscar Wilde as an infamously
fabulous satirist, we should take a closer look at the quotation to understand
its sarcasm. The writer seems to look down on those who would overdress so as
to appear to be better than others, and purposefully loops overdressing in with
those who overeducate themselves and think, therefore, that they are better
than those who have low literacy skills.
It’s
undeniable that with an advanced education
you have more choices in your life in comparison with illiterate
people. But similarly, you have more chances for
self-improvement. Why not use them to make a difference for your community and help the society
develop into a better place? Only in this way,
education gives significance to life and real satisfaction.
I think this topic is up to date and very useful. It shows us that nobodys perfect and as proverb says "Age live age learn"
ВідповістиВидалитиJulia, you have chosen wonderful quotation. Nowadays education is phenomenally necessary factor in our life. We cannot be good friends or dependable workers without proper education, as avoidance of significant knowledge will make us give some secrets away or we will be unable to break the deadlock and mount own company and so on. The problem is that our brains will not be able work properly, because of the fact that many years ago we turned our studying down. Such people are disruptive and they always are accountable to somebody! Nietzsche said: «Without some intellectual culture can not be refined taste», that is why so often we can evaluate the intelligence of man through her clothes. The person can economize his or her expenses and may be her dress is not exquisite, but person's ability to understand when and how to dress, cleverly picking the color and style, evidence of its taste and therefore intellectual development. As a rule these people are reputable and independent. It seems to me that such things are really noticeable in our society!
ВідповістиВидалитиIt's a great quote with a deep wisdom. It is common for modern gereration to pursue fasion and this really encroaches on time that could be used sensibly. But we should never stop our education as it underpins our outlook and guarantees to be successful.
