The Importance of Education, the story of Nike Okundaye

In: Fashion, Inspiration, Travel

What is Education?

From a simple point of view, Education refers to a method of knowledge transfer, be it learning by doing, by looking, by listening which can be given in different forms. For example, through storytelling, training, discussions, research, mentorship and the likes.

It is interesting to note, that the first kind of education you get, is the knowledge of your immediate environment, which is mostly gotten from family. What kind of training do we pass on knowingly or unconsciously?

  1. I think the admin of this web site is truly working hard in favor of his website, for the reason that here every
    data is quality based data.

  2. I’m really impressed with your writing talents as
    well as with the format in your weblog. Is this a paid topic or did you modify
    it your self? Either way stay up the nice high quality writing,
    it’s uncommon to look a great weblog like this one today..

  3. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?

    Thanks!

    1. Thank you. About hints on clearing your mind, I guess everyone’s gift is different. You could try putting your thoughts down when the motivation to write sets in, you composed them as they flow from you, at least that’s how mine works. A better choice will be to find out what works for you.
