ROUND #8 TOPIC
Higher Education Is Absolutely Necessery To Succeed In Life!
Are you FOR or AGAINST?
READ THE RULES AND COMMENT TO WIN A BEAUTIFUL PRIZE ON SATURDAY IF ONLY YOU FOLLOW THE RULES.
You Can Be A Winner whether you are FOR or AGAINST.
Your Opinion Counts.
You Will Be Paid For Your Opinion.
It Will Only Cost You An Up Vote.
For
For.
Reason 1: Without proper higher education; a human can't even know the difference between right and wrong.
Reason 2: Peoples often having lower education and the they gone to miserable life cause they don't have the proper knowledge.
Reason : There's a saying that "Little learning is terrible". So everyone should have higher education for succeed in life.
That's all for today.
I m for:
Education can teach us to think first before do.
Even you at first have a low position at job, like some my friend who become helper or caretaker when they have a diploma but at least you still can build your way. While working or after working.
And now i.m regret why i m not continue to study, and wish later i have a chance.
I love all of your ideas!
Keep them coming!
For.
I am against.
Reason 1. Many of the most successful people on Earth didn't even finish high school or are college drop outs like Steve jobs or Bill Gates.
Reason 2. Nowadays you can access information without even leaving home. You can learn almost everything if you want to by accessing the internet.
Reason 3. If you want to be a doctor you have to go to college whether you want it or not. That doesn't make you a successful doctor. Two Doctors with the exactly same academic studies can have different levels of sucess. One can even be totally unsuccessful.
Reason 4. Success depends on personality, effort, perseverance, opportunities, and the way you percive it. A highschool drop out housewife can be successful as a mom and a doctor can feel disappointed with his career. It has nothing to do with Higher education.
Against
Education is good but it doesn't guarantee success. Some of the most frustrated people in life are people that thought that education is all they need to become successful in life and invested everything they have in it only for them to discover that it takes much more than just acquiring education to be successful.
AGAINST...
With these few points it is but wise to conclude that higher level education; infact not even education guarantees success in life. If that were true then the unemployment and poverty statistics will show better
In the records for sure.
A man can be very educated but very unsuccessful in life.
Case scenario: In my community for example the most successful people do not have a higher level of education but those who do only broke grammar and have nothing to show for it talkless of a successful life.
Hahaha
Very educated but very unsuccessful in life...???
Yes oh Sir..
Against
Reason 1. Again, the premise is stated as an absolute. All I need is one counterexample.
Reason 2. Furthermore, what is it "to succeed in life"? If I am happy, have I succeeded? Also, what is "higher education" in this context? Is it beyond high school?
Reason 3. I have a friend who is a computer programmer, self-taught, who makes far more money than I do, and is also a happy husband and father. He has succeeded in life if anyone has. He is my counter-example.
Against ...
Against
1.) Higher education gives you tools to face life, but it is not the only way to successfully face life
2.) Divine wisdom is given by God to all to solve the problems that are presented to us
3.) The talents we have at birth can be improved with life experience.
4.) Everything we undertake with perseverance and dedication can be achieved.
5.) With resources and opportunities, success is also achieved
Oh! Sir, this contest is hot! It's a great idea that you have brought in SBI. I love your logos. This topic is interesting and I will definitely have to drop something too.
Against.
Most successful people in the likes of Bill Gates, Jack Ma and even Dangote that we all know never made it through school you know!
The period of going through school to the point of obtaining a higher Diploma or Degree is basically a build up or training to face the world on your own. After this training, you stand against the world for success. Whether you succeed will depend on your abilities, luck, connections (especially in Africa) and your God. So, it's not like you've succeeded already.
Hahahaha
You are welcome bro.
These guys deserve better prizes.
Please this an appeal all the whales out there, please surport this debate with your up votes and resteems.
Thanks
Higher Education Is Absolutely Necessery To Succeed In Life!
Against!!
I'm going to assume that the phrasing of the topic was (perhaps unintentionally) too extreme. Rather than debating the relative importance of higher education, it seems to ask whether it is necessary for human life, like oxygen.
And it's not, quite obviously. You can be a successful caveman. People predate education; higher education is relatively even more recent.
So in order to give myself a balanced challenge, I'm going to cheat and modify this topic a tiny bit. Like this:
Higher Education Is The Absolute Best Way To Succeed In Life.
I hope that sounds fair.
I am FOR.
Here are my points:
assuming you're not successful already, which would disqualify you as you're starting on the finish line -- a higher education gives you access to a higher class of jobs and occupations, and it opens up opportunities that you would not have otherwise.
when following a career path, education gives the most reward for the same amount of effort, and most importantly the reward is not based on unlikely chances, favoritism or exceptional talent. Education is simply the rational, practical choice if you want to further improve the lot you've been given.
a higher education gives knowledge, perspective, and paths to self-improvement. Whatever your goals in life, the above are the tools you need to reach them. With better tools you can see farther, you have more options to choose from, you base your decisions on better data.
a higher education is a form of success in itself. It is a remarkable achievement and a measure of worth. Something you have going for you, that cannot be taken away, and that others will recognize and admire.
all human progress and our whole society are based on education, which means passing down our accumulated worth and know-how to the next generations, so they can take it further. A sane society knows this and consequently values education as its first priority. In getting educated, you're improving not only yourself and your chances of success, but also everyone else's.
