Education Today
The King is not the wisest, and the wisest may not become the King. Unfortunately, Education and monetary gains have become the two arms of the same scale.The costliest education is considered to be the best. The personality of an individual is linked to the percentage. Job satisfaction has become synonymous with monetary gains. To secure favours even by unfair means on the basis of power commanded by the Chair has become order of the day. Professions that are money spinning, have risen in prominence. Without a mission in life, and a society morally bankrupt, cannot contribute anything tangible for the real growth of the country. Our efforts whether of the government or social to eradicate evils are lukewarm and half-hearted. Take for example smoking and drug addiction. Not enough is being done to educate addicts about its dangerous effects on health.All aspects of life, have become money-oriented. Remember,..ultimately money can only spin you and many times clean bowl you. The innate talents should not be supressed for acquiring degrees, with the sole purpose of amassing wealth. The education system should not dwarf you. It is not important, what deep philosophy you talk, what is important is how deeply you touch the hearts of the people with whoim you interact.
That which helps your inner growth is the real education. If what we are teaching in Colleges and Universities is real education, why this world is engulfed in hatred and intolerance, instead of mutual love? Education should be preparation for life. Presently, the whole edifice of modern civilization has begun to crumble. Identify and nourish the God-given talent within you. Only it can lift you up. Otherwise, you will continue to live the life of compromises at every stage in your life. Remember, you can learn from anyone, only the process of learning--but the real self-growth has to be attained by one's own efforts and dedication.
