Are you educated or learned?

An educational poster.

 

By Richard Kilonzo.

Being educated  and learned are tottaly different aspects but closely related. What do i mean?  Education is just the routinely the obvious thing  which everyone can do. It involves just going to school, attending lecturers doing the assignment and so forth. I just mean being in school full time for a “reason”.

Very different. Being learned  simply means acquiring the education and putting it in practice. I mean its acquired concept in life. in other words, the application of education.

Its better to be learned than being educated. A learned person is able to use his/her mind in various instances and is able to manage different situations. An educated person may face some difficulties to manoevour similar situation.

Being learned is an important aspect but its very much important  by being educated because it counts much on the creativity of the application o f the “learned” concept.
