"L'éducation est ce qui survit lorsque ce qui a été appris a été oublié"
— B. F. Skinner

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes we forget the specific things we were taught in school, like the dates of historical events or complex math formulas. However, the true value of education stays with us, even when those details fade. It's about the skills and habits we develop, such as thinking critically, solving problems, and learning how to learn. For example, a student might forget the exact dates of World War II but still understand the importance of peace and the consequences of conflict. Education helps us become more adaptable, allowing us to face new challenges, think on our feet, and navigate life effectively. In everyday life, this means being better at making decisions, understanding different viewpoints, and continuously improving ourselves.
