(100 words) Self-education is the ability to form your own personality.
In this text, Gorky describes the life that suddenly appeared in front of Alyosha, through the paper, flowing on the pages of the book. The poor boy, forced to work his bread, realized how boring and dull the vegetation of people who are not engaged in self-education. He realized that his abilities are in his own hands, you just need to deal with their development with the help of books.
In the same way, Yevgeny Onegin from his Pushkin novel of the same name developed his personality. Having visited his library, Tatyana understood why she liked the nobleman so much. From a young age he was engaged in self-education, reading Adam Smith and other authors.
Thus, self-education helps a person to form his personality.
- An example from the movie: In the film by V. Menshov “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears,” the heroine became a single mother, but this did not prevent her from self-education. Her character was tempered in honest work, and gradually she climbed the career ladder, while other people only complained about their problems and degraded. Combining the upbringing of the child and hard work, the woman developed leadership qualities in herself: endurance, industriousness and the ability to solve complex problems.
- An example from the media: I read in the newspaper that the owner of an excellent voice, Konstantin Khabensky, who voiced many films and actively starred, had a squeaky, inexpressive timbre at the beginning of his career. But through training and classes, he independently developed a deep and low voice, which people like so much today. This is self-education.
- Life example: My friend never knew computers, didn’t even surf the Internet, but once his parents needed a website. He decided to help them and from scratch learned to cope with new technologies. Now he is a successful webmaster, and he gets paid a lot of money for his work. But he achieved this himself, cultivating the hard work and determination.
