Welcome to the first blog post of 2017. The journey begins today....

Dictionary.com defines the word ‘Education’ as “the act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession”

In today’s world, so many of us are learning so many different things in order to stay competitive or marketable. So many of us believe that education will make an improvement in our lives. By learning more.... we should be able to do more. Knowledge contained in thousands of textbook-pages is useless if we cannot apply what we have read. So many of us seek education just as a means to an end..... a way to get our feet through the door to that desired job..... yet we forget that education is forever changing as new concepts and thoughts change the way we act.

Education is more than just passing an exam or submitting an assignment. Education is the day-to-day process of discovering new things. Every aspect of over lives involves discovery. Every day is different and every moment is unique as we can never live one moment twice because that time has passed. Education is more comparable to behaviour. The way we act, the words we use, the thoughts we generate all originate from what we have learnt.

In Gary Vaynerchuk’s YouTube video entitled: “The Most Important Word Ever”, he tells us that we need to constantly make every minute count and that we need to outwork our competitors if we want to win. Discovering your strengths and using them to your advantage will yield positive results because we all need to put everything on the line and ‘Hustle’! Talent isn’t enough because we need to put in the effort.

So many of us go through life focusing on things that don’t help us to achieve what we truly want because we get distracted. This blog is titled: “Education Hustle” because it focuses on the trials and tribulations that we experience, as part of our learning and development. So let’s start the journey of discovery by covering different topics relating to education and the “hustle” it takes to learn.
