The Qualities of an Ideal Scholar

                                

Summary:   Ponders the question, in addition to academic credentials, what other traits should an ideal scholar possess?

Cecil Rhodes stated in his will the type of scholar he was seeking to award scholarship :literary and scholastic attainments; fondness and success in outdoor sports; qualities of truth, courage, devotion to duty; leadership instincts, and so on. This defined a perfect scholar in his view. But what else should one ask for"

Bookworms can be found at any place on the globe. But a true learner is very hard to find! Learning is a process too short to be completed in a lifetime. The smallest of things can turn out to be the the best sources of inspiration. This is what then drives one to put in more efforts for achieving the goal.

A healthy mind rests in a healthy body. What better way to maintain a healthy body other than to enjoy sports. It not only keeps the body fit, but also the mind stays in most agile state.

Moral force of character is what would define a true human being. A sense of leadership and the ability to lead from the front towards the decided goal is what would define the strength of character in a scholar.

Thus, a scholar should have an amalgam of all these virtues alongwith exceptional academic credentials to be designated as an ideal scholar.

Importance of Education

The importance of learning in enabling the individual to put his potentials to optimal use is self-evident. Without education, the training of the human minds is incomplete. No individual is a human being in the working world until he has been educated in the proper sense. Now I'm not saying you're not a human being without education. The mind was made to be trained and without education, a person is incomplete in that sense. Education makes man a right thinker and a correct decision-maker. It achieves this by bringing him knowledge from the external world, teaching him to reason, and acquainting him with past history, so that he may be a better judge of the present. Without education, man, as it were, is shut up in a windowless room. With education, he finds himself in a room with all its windows open to the outside world. In other words, people who are not educated have less opportunity to do what they want to do.
A person that gets a good education will become a more dependable worker, a better citizen, and a stronger consumer. For example, people would rather higher an educated man rather than a non-educated person.   When looking at the long-term effects of an education, our economy needs these educated people to know how to keep the economy efficient and not get into a bind in the future. Someone said if they were Bill Gates ( Since he is very educated), would he understand the economy better? Of course not but that's not what I am trying to say. How advanced do you think the computer would be without him? The more educated someone is, the more knowledge one obtains on different subjects. Each person has a different level of understanding for each subject there is to learn about. That is why there are experts in every field you could go into and each part is a piece of the puzzle that makes this world/economy grow.

College and Success in Life

It is very difficult to answer the claim that a person needs a university education to be successful in life because success in life means different things to different people. This essay starts by defining three different ideas of success. Following this, it looks at which types of success are dependent on a university education.
Success in life can be achieved in different ways. Many magazines and television programmes tell us that success means having a lot of money, having a fulfilling career, and being powerful. In contrast, most religious and spiritual organizations claim that success means finding spiritual happiness and being at peace with God and with yourself. Another idea of success focuses on relationships - being surrounded by people who love you and care about you, spending time with family and friends.
A university education can help you achieve some types of success, but it makes little or no difference to whether or not you are successful in other areas of life. Undoubtedly, a university education is essential if you want to have a career in a profession such as law, engineering, teaching, or medicine. However, you do not need a university degree to become a wealthy and powerful movie star, sports star or businessperson. In fact, a university education does not generally enable you to achieve spiritual happiness, or to have successful relationships with family and friends.
sIn conclusion, there are many different types of success. A university education may help you to achieve professional success in some careers. However, it will not help you to achieve success in other areas of your life such as your spiritual life or your relationships. dellybellydev@gmail.com
