University Education :)

Joke about work

A young man goes to a supermarket for his first day at work. The supermarket manager welcomes him with a smile and then gives him a brush to sweep the floor.

The young man looks very surprised and says, “But I studied at university.”

The manager then says, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that you studied at university. Give me the brush and I’ll show you how to do it.”

Education

Education is very important in our life. An educated person is one who knows a lot about many things. Citizens of Russia have the right to education which is guaranted by the Constitution. But imagine a country where girls must sneak out to go to school, with deadly conseq mmjnjnuences if they get caught learning. This was Afghanistan under the Taliban, and traces of that danger remain today. 22-year-old Shabana Basij-Rasikh runs a school for girls in Afghanistan. She celebrates the power of a family's decision to believe in their daughters -- and tells the story of one brave father who stood up to local threats.

It trains physicists, economists, actors, journalists, lawyers, librarians.

Knowledge

In modern age of electronics and computers the road to knowledge is open to everybody. The only thing you need is a desire to learn. As John Ruskin, an English writer of the past said: “If you want knowledge, you must toil”.

But to have knowledge isn’t enough. You must know how to use it. You must be able, for example, to make a table, to wash a military uniform or to solve a problem after learning a theorem etc. 

       There are no useful activities without knowledge. Man is proud when he can do something for people because he knows how to do it. Another important thing is that you will need knowledge not only for work. You will need it to enjoy the riches of the science and art.

        To know something is first of all to be able to use knowledge. If you try to acquire knowledge and use it the right way, you will be of benefit for people.

But do you know how much knowledge do we need?
Can we have too much knowledge?
Do you think that people should know only those things which they need for their work?
