Study - You, Your Education is More Precious than Gold - Survive as an Outsider


Education is a place, time, period, and world that is a sifting ground for the soul. It is hard on every aspect of the human soul.

Education is a place of growth and self awareness in a place very foreign. The education place can be both conducive and cruel, causing a feeling of awkward while revealing the dreaded truth that a hard lesson must be learned immediately. It is urgent that the soul allows this experience/feeling to wash over them, and step toward a new level of self discovery; like turning a dirty door knob to enter heaven and very worth the hard experience.

The time of life when a student is learning can be critical. Very young, average age, or older than traditional, can always help in the learning process. The student's world view and observations always help define the subject at hand. Always give thanks for God's gift of your age as a student; you are not in class by accident, because, God knows your input is necessary for others to learn.

World events can help shape your professional life. Your need to help others will be all the more stimulated because you are in classes 'at such a time as this.' Always allow the world events to help shape your profession and make you a far greater servant to humanity. Do not be distracted by the evil in the world, but use the events to help you learn to serve and protect life.

Never allow yourself to be distracted by social pressure or other matters not directly associated with your schooling. Stay totally focused on your mission to improve your service to humanity/life. You may loose friends and possessions, but you must never lose your confidence to become the extraordinary professional tried by the fires of learning, and the world will need the most.

You can do this, because you are reading this...taking time to learn.
