Though in some people's opinion, education merely means to go to school and receive a certificate, education really is a lifelong process. For a modern person, education plays a indispendible role in all his life and enables him to make progress.
Education accompanies people since they are babies. Infants and kids get education from their parents and the mass media they can understand, such as TV. They form the basic characteristics and personalities at that time. Latter on, it comes to the main education part for a modern people, the schools. Schools contain the primary school, middle school and university. There, people obtain most of their science or artical knowledge, and many decide their future direction of career. After it, most people will leave school and merge into the society to work.
However, education does not stop here. Severe conpetition in our society forces people to renew their knowledge to be updated. Or they may have the danger of being abandoned by the time, and can not enjoy the latest amusement and comfortablity provided by high-tech. For instance, if a salesman do not know how to use computer or surge on the internet, he may not have the facility to analyse his sale satistics to improve, or know others good way for saling. Even after retirement, modern people still can not avoid education. Only chattering, watching TV or play cards can not offer old people a happy life. Such kind of life will be boring. Therefore, many old people go to colleges for senior citizens to get the lessons they are interested in. In this way, not only do they have a more colourful life, but also keep up with the development of our society.
In a word, education should be a lifelong experience and friend for modern people. Without it, life will be dull and hopeless for you. Therefore, make full use of education, develop youself all the time.
