Education, knowledge is a precious gift for anyone. Education has no age limit, it’s just you want the zeal to learn. Spreading knowledge is like a candle spreading brightness. If we wish to learn even an animal teaches us and teaches how to work hard etc. Learning is a continuous ongoing process.
Education or Learning process starts when we replicate it. Whatever you do in front of a child, he\she grasp it, hence it is always said to make the child learn from the 1st stage itself. Education or learning never gets old, but it increases from time to time.
It (Education) becomes a building block or cell for the child, whatever he/she learns in the early stage the same is replicated at the later stage.
For example, if a person doesn’t know how to work, he can never be able to run. For running walking is the first learning process.
Education not only makes us survive the competitive world but make us understand what exactly the meaning of various things.
