*the direction in which a education starts a man, will determine his future life .... !!~
Just by inserting a comma after man {Above}, the meaning becomes much clear !!~
It means whatever type of education we choose to have, it leads us to become just that ...... e.g. if we choose to become a doctor or an engg., we take that {direction}/ type of education & ultimately become one [Dr or engrr] after the completion of the course of education !!~?
