For much of human history, education has served an important purpose, ensuring we have the tools to survive. Education has always served a pragmatic purpose. It is a tool to be used to bring about a specific outcome. Most people live their lives believing that education is learning the difference between right and wrong, then why the world’s educated people are mostly involved in crimes like corruption, theft, alcoholism, deception, dishonesty lies, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc? We have to vigilantly understand that only a few people have proper education. When an illiterate person does a crime, he is less likely to be blamed because the person has not received education at all but when literate-educated people are on wrong track, then definitely this is a problem for the whole nation. Nowadays most people right from their school days have read books and learned moral lessons but when they grow up, all the lessons learnt are wasted. Youngsters have already developed a mindset that education is only about going to school, earning a degree, or scoring good marks. Some of them are only bookworms. No doubt they have read good books but they have failed to understand the meaning of life. Youth is attracted to earning money. The other aspects of life are completely ignored. Education is a vision to look at things positively. It is about accepting the truth of life and understanding the values of life. The way we live our lives, the behavior that we carry toward others. Education prepares us for our whole life and teaches us to face all the challenges that come our way. Real education means to be morally grounded, to sacrifice for others, and most importantly contribute to the people as much as you can. In our valley, the youth believes that only getting a suitable job is education. A good job can give you a salary but real education benefits society and its people. A degree holder is mocked for doing average jobs. No work is small if our thinking is big. Youth chases Government jobs for their whole life.
They become overaged and then regret what they could have done in the years that have been wasted. Today there are countless secure private jobs where one can easily apply or we can start a business with hard work and enthusiasm. When a person decides to fulfill the dream, definitely one will triumph. People often blame the Administration for not providing jobs but we are blind to see our faults. We don’t look beyond Government jobs. A person imagines a Government job as whole life but the truth is that there are so many famous people who are not employees but have earned fame and money by starting small industries and companies who later turned out to be the world’s most popular business tycoons. Where there is a way, there is a way, and where there is a way, sucess is definitely there.
