So basically, if you know anything that is benificial at a high degree, your educated.

That is what the world thinks. I don’t really care about this.

To me, a smart person is someone who is curious, thinks in different perspectives and has a lot of logic and thinking skill.

But education, to me, includes other forms as well. It comes from experiencing life on many levels. It’s the person who seeks to make sense of the world through reading and interacting with others. An educated person learns from every experience he or she has in life AND makes good use of that experience.

So, an educated person not only acquires knowledge but applies it to better himself or others, in the same way that a doctor uses his medical knowledge to make you well.

An educated person doesn’t have to have years and years of formal education to be educated. A willingness to constantly learn and apply that knowledge is what makes a person educated.

Finally, an educated person is not rigid in his thinking. He is willing to look at all sides of an argument and is tolerant of views different than his own. He may not agree with others but he knows that his knowledge is based on knowing how and what others think. He expands his own thinking and education by listening to others.

educated may mean finishing high school. in Job application.

and some may be born with skills in art, music, math, etc. To

which seem to come naturally without special training.

I found out at an early age that I had a talent in art.

I used to read comic books. When I would finish one. I would

always draw the cover, before trading it away. I also started

painting by numbers, and advanced in doing all painting:-})

An educated person living in a city is Massachusetts is not the same thing as an educated person living on a farm in Iowa. I am sure you can add example after example.
