The Desire of Achievement (Susan Chen)

After reading the article "The Achievement of Desire", I was deep in meditation. I have to think about what exactly the education brings us? Since we were born, we are always in the status of being educated. In the article, the author mentioned that when he reached the third grade, he became more tactful, careful to keep separate the two very different worlds of his life. From his words, we can tell that education brings him a kind bad habit and a negative attitude towards his families and even the environment surrounded him. What exactly educations bring us? Of course it doesn't bring us some negative impact. If so, why do all the people want to get education?

Probably I am a girl who is totally different from the author. As the age growing, the desire for knowledge and new things becomes stronger and stronger. Just like the author, I am also curious about all the new stuffs. However, from my point of view, his attitude towards getting more and more knowledge is too radically. I appreciate with his desire of achievement. But it seems that he forgot that school is not the only place we can get education. The first "school" we entered is just the family. Our parents give us the first class which we can never get from schools. We can get education from everywhere, but only from schools and those books. I think schools can only provide the method for us to explore the knowledge rather than provide us knowledge.
