To see how high a child would rise in life, check:
1. With 0% practical experience, how quickly he sincerely 'absorbs' the intense emphasis of his parents to inculcate in him the value of education.
2. Knowing parents' sincerity, does he ignore their warnings against unsuccessful exam scores by saying, "We will see when it comes" let me enjoy now the activities my heart desires.
3. Is he consistent in jolting himself to prepare before the actual exam thunderbolt
4. Does he consult the right people having enough knowledge and experience to solve his problems or he himself declares himself a master of all trades ?
Now let us replace: our parents with the Prophet Muhammad (saw), our exams with Allah's exam, and our examiners with Allah (swt) and judge ourselves. The only difference is: in this life we keep getting chances but in hereafter there would be none for infinite years.
Even repeatedly reading, listening to and discussing the importance of education helps in inculcating its value in the mind of even a dull student, thus making it easy for his heart to work harder for it. Let us also repeatedly listen to, read and talk about what we "want to" become.
