Well - Schooled Well - Educated What the School Never Teaches

Is being Educated the same as being Schooled? Am I Well-Educated or Well-Schooled? This is a question I asked myself some years back and perhaps some of you still do. These two people have something in common which is acquiring knowledge but what makes one different from the other is, one applies the knowledge in "real life" but the other does not. From the definition above, it clear to us that a school boy or girl cannot always be an educated person. Yes, applying the knowledge in "real life" is what makes the difference. Your ability to sing very well doesn't make you a musician and same applies to a young gentleman or lady who can write very well. You don't qualify to be called an author if you do not have books, stories or poems out there that people are talking about or are having great impact on the life of an ordinary individual. Everyone would have been called an author as long as Facebook or Twitter is concerned. This book does not just tell fundamental difference between being Well-Educated and being Well-Schooled but also provides intangibles to help us as educated individuals and as a country.
