Peace greetings to fellow readers. There are many things which I would like to share with others, some how it takes time to pick the different subjects that I want to share. So it would be great if people can trigger some problems for me to troubleshoot, however I cant promise you that i'll get the answer. Here are some insights about me, I really really love to have dialogue and exchange pointers with other. I do this a lot with friend in school and outside, so far i've enjoyed the experience because some of them poses question which i really cant answer; clueless. Im the kind of guy who would always wonder how things happen in a certain way. You can call that dreaming, however i think that although it may seem that im dreaming, the fact is that im finding answers. Well as we know to find answers we need knowledge.
Now let me express how knowledge becomes useful. See, knowledge by definition is awareness of information, facts, ideas, truths or principles. So everyone must understand that knowledge is a precious gift from an infinite source( because scientist havent discover the source of knowledge ). Please understand that knowledge is precious, loving knowledge will only turn you into a better person. If you love yourself, you got to love knowledge. To summarise the points, Knowledge would becomes useful when one connects it to his/her life, if not the knowledge serves no purpose.
In a simpler term, you got to spread your knowledge to others so that it will continue and others can appreciate it. Once you stop practicing it you can say that the knowledge is busted.
Looking at todays context of knowledge, there is a big misconception going on. My intention here is to express my views on this matter. From the times of our childhood, we have been taught, reminded, programmed by teachers or parents to have a mind-set of attending school to reach higher education level in exchange for a good qualification to become successful in life, now wait a minute... Where has the value of knowledge gone? Go to school to be successful? Lets do some correction, we go to school to learn and understand things around us so that we can make use of the knowledge in our life journey. Dont feel awkward upon seeing the correction version of going to school, want to know why? Its because we have been taught of the wrong version since the day our mind start thinking.
I will try to make it clearer. Try observing the people around us. They are actually working very very hard because they want to have a good qualification as they believe that it is the key to success. They are mirroring what their teachers told them decades ago, thats how influential people can be, they can change people's life with words. However, we got to think rationally and logically, this terminology is totally untrue, what we are seeing today is, if you are concern about your life you will be successful regardless of whether you got good education or not. This is a simple fact, if you know psychology it would be easier. Its all in the mind. If one tells himself to be someone worthy he will find the means and way to reach his goal. Ultimately every individual has his/her perspective of being successful. I can say, to me having a stable income monthly although not too high would be a form of success for me, while others might think otherwise.
These are simple examples that i have given to refute the idea of study hard to be successful in future. At this point of time, my elaboration of the topic have led us to another question, but it is not a part of this topic, so i'll move on to part 2.
You've made a good point. Success is doing what you love doing. It's not about being a doctor or a lawyer. To me success comes when you have achieved YOUR dreams and goals not someone else's. Most students pursue education for the wrong reason; parents told them to. They were told that if they wanted a comfortable adult life, they should study hard and attain higher education. In those cases, their parents generally also dictate the path they take in education. I knew students who were in a discipline of study picked out by their parents. Reason? They were advised by parents that that profession is in demand. Hence, it'd be a high earning career once they've graduated. Hmmm.. I see a flaw in that motivation technique. It's a short-term one. Those same students dropped out not long after the start of the semester because of lack of interest. So we have to remember to follow our passion not other's.
ReplyDeleteI could picture out how students got it wrong at your country from the example that you have elaborated and I believe that it is also happening in many other places. I dont blame them because those who are affected by the problem are only reacting according to survival instinct. Looking at a bigger point of view, you would realise that this is one simple example of how enslavery is happening in the world today, but through its camouflage it is not very visible anymore. This is what government is made to do. Its a super chain system starting from a small group of people who happens to be very powerful, they control govermental bodies, politics and many more. The end of the system chain would be normal citizens like me who would encounter what governments have planned for me daily such as schools, national services and eventually working. This is actually one of my main concern that I feel I should tell others, so that they might understand the worlds agenda currently and in time to come.
