True Education

“I have spent most of my life involved in education. When I was younger, I thought education meant going to school, taking tests, and getting good grades. But as I grew older, I began to learn the difference between doing well in school and becoming educated. A person can do well on tests and still not be educated. True education is learning how to learn. Once I discovered that lesson, learning became fun.”

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “The Glory of God Is Intelligence,” Friend, Oct. 2007, 6.
