To live is not merely to breath, it is to act, it is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties, and of all those parts of ourselves, which give us the feeling of our existence. The man who has lived most, it is not he who has counted his greatest number of years, but he is, who has most thoroughly felt life.
In this topic I would like to give some reflections on education. What is education? What it’s relation with life and what is the aim of education?
The aim of education is a complete living. The education of a human being should begin at birth and continue throughout his or her life. In fact education is as a process of moral training. Education is an effort on the part of the older generation to pass on to younger generation all the good habits and wisdom acquired through experience. Indeed, if we want this education to have its maximum result, it should begin even before birth in this case it is the ‘Mother’ herself, who proceeds with this education by means of two fold action. For mother’s own improvement and secondly, child to be born depends very much upon the mother, who forms it, upon her aspiration and will as well as upon the material surroundings in which, she lives. To see that her thoughts are always beautiful and pure, her feelings should always be possibly noble and fine, her material surroundings be as harmonious as possible and full of a great simplicity. This is the part of education, which should apply to the mother herself.
Education must have five principal aspects corresponding to the five principal activities of the human being. 1- The physical, means to say. (1) Control and discipline of the functioning of the body. (2) An integral, methodical and harmonious development of all the parts and movements of the body. 2- The vital education has two principal aspects. The first concerns to developments and use of the sense organs. The second is the progressing awareness and conrol of the character. 3- The mental, the psychic and the spiritual. These phases of education must continue, completing one another until the end of one’s life.
There are some parents who know that their children must be educated and try to do what they can. To educate a child, it is to educate oneself, to become conscious and master of oneself. So that one never sets a bad example to one’s child. It is above all through example that education becomes effective, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestendness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, preseverance, peace, calm, self-control are all things that are thought infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches. If we wish to be respected by a child, have respect for oneself and be worthy of respect at every moment, when your child, asks you a question do not give him a stupid or silly answer under the pretax that he can not understand you; “Nature will that children should be ‘children’ before they are men. Childhood has ways of seeing thinking feeling peculiar to itself. Nothing is more absurd than to wish to substitute ours in their placeâ€. To educate the child, to act in the present thinking that if the child is able to use his powers in the present of education is to develop team and Co-operative spirit, a feeling of community life. The second purpose of education is to develop civic efficiency. The third purpose of education is to develop truth, beauty and goodness in the child. The fifth task of education is to harmonize the personality of the individual.
Generally speaking schooling is considered to be all the mental education that is necessary. And when a child has been made to undergo, for a number of years, a methodical training which is considered for mental development. A true mental education, which will prepare man for a higher life, has five principles phase. These are in brief- 1- Development of the power of concentration, the capacity of attention. 2- Development of the capacities of expansion, widening, complexity and richness. 3- Organization of one’s idea around a central idea, a higher ideal that will serve as a gulde in life. 4- Thought control, rejection of undesirable thoughts to become able to think only what one wants and when one wants. 5- Development of mental silence, perfect claim and a more and more totally receptivity inspirations coming from the higher regions of the being.
According to Rousseau, nature, man and things are three.sources of education. He says. “plants are developed by cultivation, men by education.†With these words I am ending my topic.
