What is deemed by an education? An education, as defined by the Merriam-Webster is the action or process of educating or of being educated. It does not restrict an education to being a wholly academic process. This means that a person educated in music, sports or sewing counts towards having an education.
Another question we must ask ourselves is what success really means. Is success measured in monetary terms, or in how wide your smile is when you get out of bed? Can someone really be happy living in a one-room flat occupied by 13 people and eating only one meagre meal per day? Merriam-Webster defines success as a favourable or desired outcome.
