Better Future for All

In this recent times, education has been so important in our
life may it on socially and other aspect. Actually currently our country of
Indonesia may not have a good education if compared to other nations such as
USA or UK, but actually we really need good education, why? Maybe some of you
think that “Ah.. There’s no need on education” or maybe “Education are useless,
you should work to make money rather than spending money on your studies.”
Well let me answer your questions now, we need education
PERIOD no comma at all and no other reasons to avoid education, why you might
ask? There is a lot of reason one of
them is to avoid social embarrassment in the future. You might converse with
other people without entering the topic of your personal education but are you sure that they
will always steer away from that topic of conversation? Of course not. One day your friends might proudly say “I just
finished my studies on Master Degree on psychology, how about you?” will you
just plainly answer “Ah.. I only finished Middle School” you will be embarrassed and not only that but your friend will also talk about you behind your back and the word will spread to other people then when you realized that will you just keep a plain face and have no hard feelings at all or what will you
answer when your child ask “Dad where you went to College?” while you can only
answer “Nah, daddy has never go to college” will you do that?? No of course you
won’t not only you will be ashamed but your kid will be too and when other child talks with each other about their parents they talk about "My dad is a master graduate from Harvard University" then the other kid will say "May dad is also a master graduate but he graduated from Cambridge University" what will your kid do when they asked which university that his/her dad graduated in while in reality that his dad has never entered university , all of it will cost you your self confidence, it can even make you lost
your future due to all that shame.
Next reason is without education we are just helpless sheep
that follows the farmer anywhere he went? Will we also follow him when he do
something bad or even trying to do harm? No of course not, let’s have an example, when your friend told you that you should just jump over a cliff, will you just jump without thinking anything? no, of course no. We need
education so we wouldn’t follow groundless choice, some people believe in
superstitions but not all of them was good, not even all of them are harmless.
We need education so we don’t haplessly do
something stupid even when other people are coaxing us like doing rain dance an rituals, do you really want to use face paint and chanting things just
to have a rain?? There's technology to make rain you know, as long as we're educated there's no use on doing those kind of things. If we don’t see the importance of education
our future will be bleak, our country would be full of people believe in
crazy things other people says. We can even be a terrorist to our home country, they have a strong faith and i do admire that from them. But with their lack of knowledge sly and evil people influence them so that they think that "My country is so corrupted maybe i should free them from this by bombing them". That's not useful at all and instead of giving any good to our country, it also create chances for people who want to do something harmful and take advantages from our country.
Next one is, that we need education so we can get a better
chance of fulfilling the needs of our family. Everyone wants to fulfill the
need of their family, no one wants his family to eat leftovers and live in a
wagon or house made in cardboard. The problem is a lot of them thinking that
the easy way like stealing and robbing other people is the best way to end
their poverty, no that’s not the answer at all because lot of them lose their future
because they went to jail and spend most of their time locked in there and not only that but by robbing and stealing people you also make other people suffer because of your actions and not only that but there's also a chance that something went wrong when you do criminal activities and you harm other people, the worse case is that you not only harm them but you can also make them lose their life and destroying their family's future. That doesn't solve the problem but instead it make an endless cycle of suffering. So what’s
the answer then? EDUCATE YOURSELF, if your education is high enough you can get your dream job that gives you high enough money to fulfil things that you want such as become a Doctor, a Professor, a Docent, or maybe a Researcher. If you do that then buying car, motorcycle, a good house, and luxurious items that you want will be a dream no more,
as long as you rigorously educate yourself you can get a job that will give you
a lot of money and fulfilling the need of your family also you can also be happy because you work at the field that you want to.
Next education is also important on saving lives and also improving the quality of everyone's life, without education there won't be any doctor that can save lives and cure of sickness around the world, also sick people would be cured at home with remedies which don't have any scientific base that instead of curing make the illness worse then ever. If that happen the country would be in state of chaos everyone dying everywhere but other people can only sit waiting them to die while hoping they wouldn't get that disease, that must be prevented because if that situation really happen our country will be in a grave danger, that's why education on healthcare field is also important so that there won't be a lot people dying and their disease would be cured. Actually, do you realized that without education we will live in an era of inconvenience and discomfort? The effect is really helpful to us but it also make us taking everything for granted, i'll give you examples such as gas and electric stoves, try to imagine us still using a wooden stove on Bandung City on this current day, it's not very pleasant isn't it? Everyone trying to chop wood while Bandung's tree is not that many enough to support the entire city, not including the restaurant, cafe, and other business that require to cook and make something with stove. Still not convinced? How about your laptop? We always take laptop for granted without caring it, while in the old days people used typewriter and big books for making a report and searching for references, we should appreciate that because of technology we don't need to bring huge things everywhere and now we can conveniently live like we are now, that's why we have to keep learning so that our live would be more convenient than it is now.
Other reason is that education also prevents us from becoming a bad guy. Basically everyone is free from all malice, hatred, and evil but due to environment they become like that, actually based on one of the article i read on the internet everyone has a side of bad in their self well me included, the only different that criminals, psycopaths and other wrongdoers different with the other people is education. Education build views of right and wrong, ideals,habit, and morals, if the education that was given to a people is bad then the bad thing will turn to more dangerous things like a weed keep growing and destroying plants around it. The dangerous thing is people usually neglect the importance of education to their child and even if they educate their child they neglect the education that their environment gave them, the result of both things is that the child will think that doing bad things is okay and there is only good things that you can get through doing those things while the actual thing is dangerous, and when parents realized their child was already straying too far and then give them advice the child won't listen.. Why? It's because that they already have an ideal and moral view that what they're doing is right and other people that forbade them from doing things that they want is a bad person and they ended up distancing themselves from people that are should be precious to them and instead they started to hang out with other people who have same habit like them and then the habit grow more dangerous from a simple mischief to more worse thing like stealing, robbing, and mugging, they can even kill someone if they don't get the right education and when that time comes it will be hard to convert them to the good person they once was. That's another reason why this education is so important.

That's another reason why this education is so important.
The other reason is that we need education so we can make
this country more advanced. Who don’t want their country to be more advanced
than the neighbouring countries? Of course everyone wants that, but we can’t do
it if we just keep jabbering nonsense at the government without we educate
ourselves and contribute for our country. If we educate ourselves we can solve a lot of problems of our
country such as researching the latest technology, solving the scarcity of food, and even solving other domestic problems. We can even solve our criminality and corruption
problem if we educate childrens right on social and civil studies so that they will keep their ideals in their hearts and make them to refuse yielding to their greed, that’s how
important education is, do you want our country to be destroyed because of
people just keep complaining without doing something useful for our country? Or be destroyed by crisis that happened because we were left behind by other countries? HELL NO!! We all love this country that’s why we have to educate ourselves so
this country would be more advanced than the condition it is now and also keeping this country away from great peril. We all can be
more advanced than China, Singapore or even US if we try hard, why?? You don’t believe me?? As
long as we educate ourselves and try to improve this country as hard as we can, we'll make it. I'm sure of it.
I know education is not easy it's also not easy for me too you know, I’m sure it’s not easy
spending your time learning different studies like math, chemistry, biology, and physics while you see your friends playing tag, bicycle, soccer, and other games but you have to study no matter what because
although studying is hard, honestly at this time i'm still suffering from the urge to play games rather than study but studying will
bore a fruit so sweet that you will never regret taking that very important choice, i know it's a bit frustrating but we have to be patient if i may quote a song "move on. move on, move on although it's hard." It's hard i know it but i have felt the benefit of studying so why not sacrificing your time to play games rather than sacrificing your bright future.
