Education.

Being qualified enough to have a 5 figured monthly salary or being knowing by-heart the theorems of the great mathematicians. Is this what education is all about?

Honestly, I feel the basic definition of education is flawed. It goes like “the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university”. Education for me is the basic foundation on which a person’s character and life is built upon. It is not a virtue that can be measured by grades but it is something that has to be understood and taken in.

It is a known fact that the most famous personalities, even in the field of education did not follow the way in which everyone else was educated. They chose to think beyond the ordinary and this in turn lead to various discoveries and inventions that the unfortunate future generations study about as a part of the boring curriculum.

The education that is imparted to students at the primary age is what sets the standard for their future. If at the tender age of 9-10, a child is made to mug up the syllabus as if they are stories then it leaves a bad impression on them about the very system of education.

Education is not meant to fill pockets but build nations.

The preset education system which focusses on the theoretical part of the subject matter has proved not to be effective. Better understanding is achieved when one puts to practice what he/she learns. So I my humble opinion, I would suggest a more practical approach to the subject should be done and at the same time, the syllabus that has not been changed since ages is a disturbing truth of our system.

Hoping to see a better life for the future generations.

Educate to enlighten! 

LIFE.

“Life is what happens to you while you are planning something else.” So, the smart ones or rather the successful ones ask you to live each moment to the fullest. But in a practical world, is that possible?

There are times, when you are upset about things you do not know. You sit in a corner staring at the nothingness of things around you. Is that wasting precious times of your limited life? Well, may be yes or may be no. There can be one more way to look at it. For all you know, it might be someone’s way of living life to the fullest by not doing anything for some time. By just letting things be as they are. So life has different meanings for different people like the love has a variety of interpretations.

For one person being able to play a video game all day gives meaning to his/her life while for another person solving numerous mathematical questions. One might find solace in talking to people at the same time another might enjoy the company of oneself the most. It is a matter of perspective.

Everyone has a story, a story that made them the way they are today. Some things happen to on the journey of life that alters your state of being. Due to such instances the person liking of certain things is changed greatly. Such as, a once talkative person becomes an introvert and vice versa. This changed I believe is inevitable and unintentional.

Where there is life, there is fear. The fear of not having it. The fear of losing time. The fear of losing people. The fear of not making it big enough. The fear of not being remembered. But one should look beyond this fear and start living without regrets because life is lived well when lived without the constant fear of consequences. Once you start living this way, there will be nothing to feel scared about. L.I.F.E. shall fall into place.

So, just live. 'Coz you have a long way to go.
