What is education for? Some see it simply as going to schools or as a means to seek jobs. But actually it's much more than these. Education serves, as Francis Bacon said, "for delight, for ornament and for ability." An educated person is much more likely to enjoy the delight that knowledge brings to him, reading favorite books, appreciating wonderful works. The use of ornament is proved in discourse when presenting opinions that education helps him to come up with and in a graceful way that education caltivates. Making wise judgements and proper dispositions best proves the use of ability. 
Delight, ornament, and ability are with us lifelong, thus education should never stop. In modern society, knowledge is expanding all the time. Without education, one is bound to be lost. Education gives forth directions to us and prevent us from be lost. People's natural abilities, like natural plants, need proyning by education all the time.
Education of course, is not reduced to merely school studies. It also include experience we gain all through life. Therefore, to be educated lifelong, we should keep keen to all that is new to us and hold the belief that one is never too old to learn.
