elementary Means Different Things to Different People
Keyword: elementary
If I say the word elementary what do you think of? Most people think of the many different types of schools that exist around them in the area. There is pre-school, elementary (or primary) school, middle school, junior high school, high school, technical school, and college or university. Then again you might also think about the different types of vocational training schools that are all around us. These are all formal types of elementary , as in institutions where most of the learning is from textbooks, presentations and experiments. This may be what you are thinking is being referred to here; but it is not. What is actually being referred to are learning and lessons that actually come from our everyday experiences.
Yes, you can learn so much by going to school; to the physical building or campus and attending your assigned classes everyday as per your class schedule. But this is not the only way that you learn things. You really learn the most by the mistakes and wrong decisions that you make in life. Sometimes there actually is far more to be learned in failure and by making mistakes than you would ever learn if you never made any mistakes. Let me tell you; there is not a single human being on earth who has never made a single mistake, error in judgment or wrong choice in their whole lives. We just are not made that way. We learn and get an interesting elementary from our mistakes. Those mistakes are Nature’s and the Higher Power’s way of showing us what we need to be paying attention to the most.
Are you thinking about taking college classes online? Is this going to benefit you or will it turn out to be a huge mistake? You never know until you try. The main advantage that you have when you attend college classes online, you can pretty much set your own schedule, however you need to remember that you will still have to have your class assignments done and turned in on time or before they are due. You will also need to remember that you will have to pay for those classes. Just because the classes are online does not mean that they will all be free. Make no mistake about it, there are classes and seminars that are free online; but this is not the case if you are talking about taking college classes online.
As was stated earlier, there are many different types of elementary all around us. elementary based solely on book learning may give you an academic advantage, but may not help you at all in dealing with the stresses that we all must deal with from day to day. This type of learning comes from dealing with the stressful situations and coming through them much stronger than you were before the event or situation ever happened. Most people refer to real life experience and the learning that comes from those situations the “School of Hard Knocks”.
