He said, \u201cEducation is what you have left after you subtract what you have forgotten from what you have learned\u201d.\u00a0 I have learned that there is a difference between what you \u201clearn\u201d and what an \u201ceducation\u201d actually is.\u00a0 When you are in a classroom, you \u201clearn\u201d new things, but what you take away from that lesson is your \u201ceducation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>My Dad is a very smart man. He has worked hard at his job for 30 years, and he still says that he learns new things.\u00a0 After my Dad said this to me, I found myself analyzing all of the lessons and all of the material that I \u201clearned\u201d. \u00a0If you are a little confused by the quote, here is an example to help you. Think about both World War I and World War II.\u00a0 What you \u201clearn\u201d is how everyone thought that WWI was going to be \u201cthe war to end all wars\u201d, but of course it wasn\u2019t. World War II started and that just led to the start of The Cold War, which lasted 46 years!\u00a0 The \u201ceducation\u201d of this example would be that our generation can see the mistakes that the Government had made and we can make sure that it doesn\u2019t happen again.\u00a0 You have the power to use your education and change the world for the better.<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/sites\/rambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-16-at-2.55.19-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1105 alignright\" style=\"margin: 5px\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-11-16 at 2.55.19 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.farmingdale.edu\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-11-16-at-2.55.19-PM-300x139.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is it for now folks!
