A man was out walking in the desert when a voice said to him, “Pick up some pebbles and put them in your pocket and tomorrow you will feel both glad and sad.” The man obeyed.
He stooped down and picked handfuls of pebbles and put them in his pocket.
The next morning he reached into his pocket and found diamonds, pearls and rubies and emeralds. He was both glad and sad.
Glad that he had taken some - sorry that he hadn’t taken more. And so it is with education.

Acquire Knowledge
Acquire knowledge.
It enableth its possessor to distinguish right from wrong;
It lighteth the way to heaven;
It is our friend in the desert,
Our society in solitude,
Our companion when friendless;
It giveth us happiness;
It sustaineth us in misery;
It is an ornament among friends,
And armour against enemies.
(Prophet Mohammed)
