Oscar Wilde says, "I don't want to earn my living; I want to live." Indeed, we do everything for a better life, same as the goal of education. The ideal education model from Aristotle including three aspects: intelligent, physical and morality education. However, the whole statement is considered to be true and those three elements are based on a prior condition – well living condition. Thus, what kind of the education results fits the society? On my opinion, receiving a higher education does not necessary mean his/her can gain a bright future; therefore, education should aim at markets’ needs in nowadays.
It is true that without material support, education is “speaking war on the paper;” however, without education, nothing can be done. Some people say knowledge can not be taught by teachers, but it can be developed. Nevertheless, developing human-being’s potential also costs money. It is a contradiction situation indeed. Anyways, Aristotle saw “happiness” as the end goal of education; also it is the way to build a productive society. Thus, maybe we need to believe that everybody is a potential genius, and all can be developed, so we all can have a “happy” ending.
