About this Quote

This quote by Daniel J. Boorstin talks to the power of education and the value of learning. Education is not practically discovering facts and figures, but about expanding our understanding and understanding of the world around us. Education has to do with finding new ideas and concepts that we may not have actually understood in the past. It has to do with discovering to think seriously and to ask concerns. Education is about learning to challenge our own beliefs and to check out brand-new perspectives. Education has to do with discovering to think outside the box and to challenge the status quo. Education has to do with discovering what we didn't even understand we didn't understand. Education is a lifelong journey of discovery and development.
