About This Quote

The author of this quote, a Mr. Douglas Adams, said that the purpose of education was to prepare you to keep yourself entertained. This is a critical point because it captures the essence of education. If you have no idea what to do with your life, you will have a hard time finding something interesting.

Finding something interesting is sometimes difficult when you don’t know what to do with yourself. However, if you are prepared for life, you will know what to do and where to go for help when needed. Education can prepare you for life in many ways; it can help you find an enjoyable and interesting job and prepare you for any situation that comes your way.
