For some people the whole meaning of education is going schools or colleges to secure their future jobs. I cannot agree with this idea. In my opinion, education as a lifelong process is as important to modern adult persons as to children.
As we know, education plays an extremely important role in children's growing up process. Without education, they will become illiterate and find it hard to survive in this knowledge-oriented society. However, having a good education in life's early years is only beginning of the lifelong process of education, it doesn't mean education is not significant in adults life.
In the first place, in the competitive society, you have to learn new knowledge to secure your jobs unceasingly because knowledge in many fields is updating at an unimaginable pace. Set IT industry as example. If you do not enrich yourself constantly, you're likely to be replaced by others at any time.
In the second place, for adult persons, you should develop yourselves and enrich your lives by absorbing new knowledge. Education can mold our characters and make our lives colourful. After a whole day's hand work, reading a book is good means for us to relax and enjoy the life.
In a word, education do a lot of good to children as well as modern adult persons. For everybody, it is a lifelong process which should be persisted in.
