Summary

This quote highlights the prevailing emphasis on achievements and success in academic education and professional training. It suggests that while individuals may acquire a wealth of knowledge and skills necessary for their careers, the traditional educational system often fails to adequately instill values of goodness, or moral values. As a result, individuals become proficient in achieving professional success but may lack a deeper understanding or practice of empathy, compassion, and ethical decision-making, potentially undermining their ability to truly contribute positively to society.
