A Little Education
The education of a person begins at birth and continues throughout life. For most people, the processes of daily life provide as much or more instruction than does formal education environment.
Education encompasses teaching and learning of specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, good judgement and wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental goals the imparting of information from individual to individual and from generation to generation
Education is the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use. The training of your mind is one of the prime tenets of education. Education should make you a thinker. It should equip a person to know how to think and how to make decision.
The following are some of the major components of my educational background. Each one was in response to a skill set required or perceived as important that the time. Over time they blended together to encompass and a set of skills and knowledge that allowed me an eclectic view and of most situations.
Each one of the contracts or positions I have found myself in has contributed to this store of knowledge. It is not exhaustive, there are many online courses that have been provided by employers that are not included. It also does not include the library of reference works used to expand or enhance understanding of certain job related topics.
