You can only be young once but can always be immature


"You can only be young once but can always be immature"
There are times when one loses the ability to cry,rather fails to give vent to a shock which is far above the endurance level. These helpless moments are beyond transference, as words fail miserably before the tour de force here. One really couldn't believe what he faced at that instant which is coded indelibly in the brain when the never expected happened. Normally one goes with family in the best terms other than when any member goes or seems to go only on emotions and imaginations. Here an advice or a show of anger at times to create an active striving for the growth and happiness of the dear ones is inevitable.
‘Have when changes in to a have-not’ feels a sort of anxiety. It’s not the sign of an immature person who is focused too much on fantasy and fear of rejection nor the tone condescending or objectifying. Sometimes the world turns upside down in an instant, and one’s life is never the same again. Some events act as a catalyst for changes in lives. Enduring the hell of being abused and stalked are in some ways a great gift. It makes one think about one’s role, position, worth, strength, wisdom, and gives a new lease on life and the opportunity to understand the transition of change that others have undergone. These transitional ‘progress’ of others may open one’s eyes to those new things, strange and bitter, but realities, which would never have striked the mind or sensed ever before.
Now one looks up, down and all around, to see pure darkness. That's when the tide is higher than one can breathe and need something to hold on to,lest will drown.No judgment,no reprimand. Just a sense of openness and truth, where one can let go and allow oneself to fall on the sword that will pierce the heart,die not to be reborn.
Everything can be going along just fine when suddenly the personal sky falls down and get blindsided. No one is immune to life’s art and its tendency to turn upside down. Be Bill Gates or beggar it never matters.
Unfortunately many people have been faced with the excruciating decision of whether or not to continue a strained life.The relationships, when stressed or tensed, are the worst to endure. If one has to cut the ties,the term tough love comes to mind, but the need is more about peace of mind which over powers.
The interesting aspect about families is that people can tolerate more bad than good, yet it can still be considered a satisfying relationship for members.In this instance, families can drive one as nuts, and also be there by his side in tough spots. Family members are those who've seen one at his best and worst.They keep their unconditional state to disagree, which is otherwise called respect without willing to change or control.
Imagination, the supreme delight of the immaturity, should be limited in order to enjoy life.

BRAIN SHARPNER


The habit of reading has declined in the people of all sections. But the gradual decline of the habit of reading in the students is an alarming factor. Students’ prime concern is study. They should not confine themselves in the reading of their course books. They need to have a wider knowledge of the day-today affairs and a general awareness in all fields touching their lives. As the present system of education tests the curricular knowledge of students through certain examinations, excelling in the examinations should, of course, be the prime concern of the students. The marks in the mark-sheets are very much required for students for admission into higher courses of study and also for job purposes. Certain qualifying percentage of marks is mandatory for getting short-listed for jobs and higher studies. So, while acquiring general knowledge, one should not forget the books of the syllabus.
Reading is not merely decoding information or pronouncing words correctly. It is aninteractive dialogue between the author and the reader in which theyshare their experiences and knowledge with each other to understand the text and impart meaning to the text other than what the author may have implied. Good readers are critical readers with an ability to arrive at a deeper understanding of not only the world presented in the book but also of the real world around them. They not only recall what they read but comprehend it too. Their critical reading and understanding of the text helps them create new levels of understanding, solving problems, inferring and making connections to other texts and experiences. Reading does not mean reading for leisure only but also reading for information. One may be encouraged to read on topics as diverse as science and technology, politics and history. This will improve the critical thinking skills and also help in improving concentration.

It is often seen that reading book projects are assigned to children in which they are expected to read a book and write a report on it. Though the spirit behind the assigning of the project is commendable, the project does not often interest the students nor does it fulfill the objective which is to inculcate in students the habit of reading.
One of the most important suggestions for promotion of learning is to develop reading habits among children. As habits are more or less routine ways of acting they are considered as second nature. Happiness depends on developing good habits which in turn motivate behavior. Hence efforts should be made to develop reading habits of children after due planning. Reading books is a great ‘brain tool’, to learn and develop important life skills, in terms of education, self improvement, positive life choices and all round well-being. Reading helps one stretch memory muscles in a similar way as the other muscles are stretched through gyms or games. Good books help students to be rational enough to differentiate between right and wrong. This deep and wide wisdom provides students the ability to reduce mistakes. Books are good source for language skills and intellectual development. Several researches have been conducted showing that book reading is indeed associated with one’s use of language and giving new details about how the variety of book reading impacts linguistic development.

Reading has both mental and physical benefits. Psychiatrists believe that reading keeps mind active. Developing good reading skills produces the quality of assimilating the content. Reading is an active mental process. Books provide information that goes deeper than just classroom discussion. They elaborate on what one takes as small chunks of information from different sources; thus make the focus and concentration better. Reading makes students disciplined and scheduled. A book reader is a problem solver and expert on the topics that translates him/her into higher self esteem. Reading exposes one to a huge world of new words and gives an insight of etymology. Knowledge about new cultures and places are inevitable for students of elementary, high and secondary schools. Books can expand horizons by providing information and are good source of education. Where formal education requires time commitments, books which are cheap and portable have no late-bells or hourly commitments
This good habit should never die down in us. Let us encourage reading books.

AN ART

Friendship is the cooperative and supportive relationship between people. Here the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to each other in times of need or crisis.
It’s not easy for everyone to make friends. It takes dedication and work on either parts to keep the friendship going. True friends are hard to find, and lifelong friends are a rare gem. To maintain a good friendship, one will have to take time and more over one should have to be a good friend. When this order is set friendships will improve greatly.
Like any other relationship, friendship needs honest communication. Many friends count on each other for advice,a listening ear and just someone to talk with. One should keep the lines of communication open, and show to be a true friend by keeping word. Refrain from ever spreading each other's business. Truthful to one another and discussion of ones problems in order to make sure that communication doesn’t break down improves the health of relation.
There will be times when one is looking for someone who will listen to one’s problems without judging. Whether agree or disagree depends on the way the friend is handling certain things. Always be a good listener. One must work very well at maintaining a two-way path with in friendship. If only one person is attempting to be a good friend, the friendship doesn’t work, as the entire friendship can’t be carried on one’s own. It has to be a perfect partnership where both contribute equally. A good friendship needs both give and take policy. If one only take and never give, the friendship will wither.
Never be idle and watch a friend make mistakes. If the friend is making a mistake, express concerns and speak up in order to protect him/her. Be honest about how one feel, but be careful not to berate the other. Choose words carefully, and do not insult in the process. Keep fighting and arguing to the minimum. There will be times when one disagree with the other, but don’t blow things out of proportion. Instead, try to talk things over and put the situation to rest. Avoid arguments and be patient in case the other is adamant over a point. Discuss it over another time and try to convince if it doesn’t seem to tighten the situation or topic to break the fine threads of relation.
. Friends should have love and respect for each other and never do things to hurt the other. Be there for each other through good times and bad times. Celebrate each other's successes, and help each other get through failures. Give friendship room to grow.
The concept of friendship changes with age. In kindergarten a good friend would be the person who shares a crayon or help to dispose off the food without the notice of the care taker and make time to play. But in upper school levels the idea could be of a person who accompany to the bathroom or save a seat in the school bus. The friend concept rises as the person grows as who gives rides in a new car; convinces ones parents not be grounded; consoles when broken up. Now the idea of a good friend is the person who gives the better of the choices, hold hand when cared, helps to fight off those who try to take advantage of, thinks of one at times when not there, reminds of what one has forgotten, helps to put the past behind but understands when the need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with to give confidence, helps to deal with the pressure from others, helps to become a better person, and so on. No matter where one goes or who one becomes, never forget those who helped to get there. There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling one’s friends how much one misses them or how much one loves them. Every person one meets has the right to be accepted (or not) on his or her own merits, it's better to just be oneself than let anyone else influence one into being someone one is not.
Live by the golden rule to treat a friend as one would want to be treated.

RESPECT MOTHERS


Revere and respect motherhood, because the mother's role in shaping the family unit and the individuals within it is unique and very great.
Mother’s love and kindness are in-drainable. Her deep parental kindness in bringing us up and the hardships she has gone through will never be repaid as they are priceless and incomparable. Her love for her child is endless and indescribable! The symbol of patience, endurance, kindness, love, help and what not. Motherhood is the greatest potential influence in human life. Mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of a child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world. This ability and willingness properly to rear children make motherhood the noblest office or calling in the world. She who rears and cares successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters deserves the highest honour that one can give. Sociological significance of the mother's role is immense. Her relationship with her children and her guidance in their growing years influence the formation of values and attitudes they carry throughout their lives.
She who gives the child life, is first and foremost to give it a way of life, teaching the child what it should and should not do. She encourages strong character formation as she teaches the child to put limitations on some of its natural instincts. Through her words and actions she teaches her child the regard that should be given to other individuals, if that child is to be included and loved as a member of the family and later of the society.Religions, it be Hindu, Christian, Islam, or else and myths place motherhood in the most exalted realm. From her body were born the first human woman and man, who became the parents of all mortal beings on earth.As mothers symbolize familial ties and unconditional loyalty, motherhood is invoked even in extra familial situations that call upon these values. Women-as-mothers, become key players in the maintenance of linkages and acquire important community responsibilities.

Washington Irving has described mother as “the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our shine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts”.
It is a universal truth that, a mother, regardless of her species in terms of life and living, continue to feed her child even if she is herself deprived or incapacitated. This is because of her extreme of quality as love, affection, kindness and protection, the most fantasia based concept, be any faith and belief, granted as gesture of her supreme personality and trait by all, to honor her legitimate and innate services to the progeny as natural agent .Motherhood is such a unique concept that it’s meaning in terms of love, affection and protection, never vain off wherever and whenever it is utilized. One would have the only option left to tag and define the words love, affection and protection as synonym to the term mother.
The concept of motherhood, motherland, mother tongue and any thing affiliated with this terminology, as prefix and suffix; have same legitimate and affectionate bearing indicating the built-in quality as console and the ultimate solace.

Everyone encourages you to have alcohol


Everyone encourages you to have alcohol – producers, your friends, and the government too..
Kerala is India’s tippler state. It has the highest per capita consumption of alcohol over eight litres per person a year.. Alcohol helps in giving Kerala’s economy a good hike. Shockingly, more than 40% of revenues for it’s annual budget come from booze. Kerala State Beverages Corporation, our state-run monopoly curiously named to breed drunkards runs 340 liquor shops, open seven days a week.Harthal or Bandh never affect their function. The role model que where perfect socialism, mutual understanding and patience is observed. Each shop caters on an average an astonishing 75,000 clients. Revenues from alcohol to the state’s exchequer have registered a whopping 100% rise over the past four years. The monopoly is so professionally run that consumers can even send text messages from their phones to a helpline number to record their grievances. That’s not all. There are more than 750 privately-run bars in the state and more than 6,000 shops selling toddy , the local brew. There is also a thriving black market liquor trade. Despite a growing number of people who demand a ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol, there is an equally spirited group of hard-core drinkers who lobby for cheaper and more widely distributed liquor.
Drinking is killing a lot of people and exacting a heavy social cost. Rising numbers of divorces in Kerala are linked to alcohol abuse. Hospitals and rehabilitation centers are packed with patients suffering from alcohol-related diseases. The situation is so grim that, ironically, the Kerala State Beverages Corporation itself has to plan to open a hospital specializing in treating alcohol-related problems.
Why do people of Kerala drink so much and so heavily? A societal problem what possibly means is that drinking liquor is almost a social rite of passage, taken very seriously? Perhaps more important reasons could be high unemployment, easy access to alcohol and the fact that drinking has become a part of upwardly mobile living. Prohibition is not at all the solution as it just drives buyers and sellers underground. The solution possibly lies in introducing methods from every level possible to make the drunkards love and live with family than do it with alcohol and bars . Since drinking is also a cultural problem, people need to be made aware of the havoc that alcohol can wreak on their lives. Until then alcohol will continue to dominate the lives of many of Kerala’s people – and boost its exchequer’s finances. Kerala has the highest percapita consumption of alcohol in the entire country. Almost 8 and a half liters of alcohol for every man woman and child in the state per year!
How alcoholism affects family? While alcoholism can negatively affect one’s marriage and family, it is sad that marital and family problems also catalyse drinking. Not surprisingly, alcoholism is most common factor among couples who seek marital therapy, and marital problems are common in drinkers who seek a cure from alcoholism.
How does the alcoholic transformation take place? Drinking is deceptive. Initially it starts as a social experience. Next it seems an enhancer of these experiences. Then, one turns to it for relaxation, or stress reduction. Finally, one just drinks for getting drunk. And before one knows it, one turns into an alcoholic!!! Alcohol only provides a veil that clouds life’s realities by distorting the true picture. If one continues to seek the false security of this veil, one is no longer a responsible person. When alcohol seems vital to handle any stress, one becomes a real alcoholic !
Habitual drinking is slow suicide. And the craving for alcohol will turn into a crime against those who love and depend one, as he is stealing what is their due, to spend it all on alcohol.
The alcoholic trend in our state is getting from bad to worse with each passing year. Despite all measures to control alcoholism, there is only an increase in the craze and consumption! It’s said that Keralites spend more money on liquor than on rice. While the liquor industry is worth Rs 7500 crore a year, rice consumption is worth only Rs 2880 crore, notwithstanding the annual hooch tragedies killing thousands and making innumerable others go blind.
60% of the road accidents happen due to drunken driving. The cases of drunken driving and the accidents that ensue are now almost a permanent matter in daily news reports. They say that because of the pervasive nature of young drinkers, many are flying their vehicles rather than driving and the issue of alcohol abuse among them is much larger than previously imagined. There is a confirmed link between adolescent’s alcohol consumption and antisocial behavior or poor social performance.

Alcohol is also the gateway for drug use. It is sad that even when attempts are made to educate people and make them know about its ill-effects, only a few pay attention to it. We take pride that there is high literacy in Kerala but this does not mean high education. The trend is so bad that many of these young people get so addicted that they steal and tell lies at home for the money. The slightly more grown up ones spend more than they earn and end up taking loans to support their habits. 18% of alcoholics lose jobs in 1 year. Once jobless, they get an authentic reason to drink more! Alcohol is the most widely used anti-depressant. Females too are increasingly on the alcohol roll and it has become socially acceptable too. When they take on it, they really get into it. Social and family acceptance to occasional drinking encourages the youth to embrace it even otherwise. Alcohol is now part of marriages, birthdays and other parties. These youngsters later on resort to drinking to overcome anxieties rather than facing life and overcoming obstacles with their own skill-sets. Alcoholism is a demon and it affects not only the body, mind and productivity of the person but also affects the entire family too, not to forget, the society in general. The cost of treatment and the social cost paid are colossal in comparison to the revenue that the government sees filling its coffers. Talking about its effects on the family, it seems the atrocities on women have increased four-fold in the last seven years. Almost a quarter of Keralite women suffer from some kind of violation. In fact many more women just endure this violence and harassment very silently because of the nature of the relationship with the perpetrator. Most of it never is brought out into the open. : The kids not only lose their dad to alcohol but also much of the money that would have come their way for their welfare and well being. Sometimes, the grown-up kids get dragged into the physical abuse when they try to protect their mothers from their alcohol inundated fathers. Several more commit suicide to call curtains to the never ending saga. Many of these drunkards show off their manliness before their women but do not have the spine to face the financial mess they get into because of their habit and finally they resort to the pathetic getaway of suicide.
There is no doubt that broken marriages affect children. Over 50 percent of kids are going to see their parents breakup. A large percentage will never even see their parents together in one room. It isn’t an incredible leap to say that the breakup of a marriage could lead kids to abuse alcohol?

LIVE AND LET LIVE



The Kerala Catholic Federation today came out with their “supreme decision” in Newman college issue to dismiss Prof T J Joseph, who was attacked by Popular Front of India activists for preparing a questioning paper which allegedly hurt the sentiments of their community; a 'talibanism', which again is practiced by the Catholic church by chopping off his livelihood.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India and the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council have transgressed all the boundaries of 'morality' by justifying the heinous act of the college management.
Things are just not the way it seems. Political parties are the tap root for the talibanisation along with some other beneficiaries who take the balance toll. We are once again seeing the upsurge of these religious politics now targeting the Indian culture as the maniacs are just targeting their vote bank.
Muslims were underprivileged, poor people, suppressed by the deeds of other groups and government as well. But now, things have changed. They talk about being virtuous but in reality beasts, devil’s advocates etc .No one can support them any more in his whole life, accounting their actions. Recent incidents have underlined the facts that the world says, that there are groups in them with whom one shouldn't befriend. Peace they say, their deeds are barbarous. They talk long hours preaching the peacefulness of Islam, but fail to prove their speech of peace. One can’t see any peace here!! Think how Mr. Joseph reacted to his mishap? He said exactly what Jesus said on cross, "Father forgive these ignorant, they don’t know what they are doing". But how and why this has become a misunderstanding. What exactly did Prof. Joseph do wrong?This misunderstanding has cost him his right arm. Just think from his position. Imagine one missing halfway from the forearm, that also the right side. Even he be an ambidextrous, further survival is possible only with the help of somebody. Nobody cares to think about it and the pain he went through. No words can express his pain, loss and helplessness. Joseph is just a human. He doesn’t have the power to cut off his senses during this action which is next to crucifixion. A hand! when one looks at his own hands while using for his basic primary needs, will feel terribly disappointed, sad, angry, know not what all emotions. An octogenarian mother seeing her son’s hand chopped with an axe, just as a log? His daughter, son, his sister; a nun who has devoted her whole life to serve the humanity, and his wife? The helplessness of a whole family to witness their own blood and flesh savaged!! Even some who happened to witness might have fainted on the spot! Many would even wake up from sleep seeing bad dreams. Not because of the fear of those unwanted elements. But of the thought that how fast these savages transform in to cannibalism. A shock passes while thinking the way people go mad in the name of religion. Why did they do this to him? If Muslims were this much concerned about the passage he posted in a question paper, then why didn't they chop Sri P.T Kunjumuhammed, from whose book Jacob has taken the passage? Illiteracy or fancy to believe a hearsay and act insensibly to become saviors or heroes . Haven't have enough by this, one of the Popular Front’s zonal leader called a Police Officer in-charge and threatened him of his life. How could one explain that. Again spitting out grotesque lies that some others are trying to conspire against Islam. The call logs can be tracked back to this leader. The guys who were caught didn't show any remorse, they even admitted they would have chopped his head if there was the opportunity. Though Joseph forgave his assailants, the society won't. The ill doers deserve maximum punishment the law dictates, as this is rarest of the rarest mishap in a country which hails nonviolence and they proved themselves as ruthless antisocial elements. We should say no to extremism, terrorism, naxalism, thalibanism, summarily all “isams”. Live and let others live. Religion is for the good of man. Any man or woman can interpret it according to his /her faith and belief. All religions are supreme, if they hold in them broadminded followers who could love and contain others, irrespective of all their rational and irrational actions.

SPARE OUR YOUNG GENERATION


For students who have just moved to Class X, this is a crucial year following CBSE’s announcement that they will not be required to write the Board exams, which have for years defined the academic and career paths of Indian students.

CBSE has made the Board exams optional. A student has the choice of deciding if or not to write the exam. They will otherwise be graded. They will be assessed on all-round performance through the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation, or CCE, which focuses on creative and soft skills apart from pure academics.

More than 80% of the parents, I am sure are not in favour of the optional exams. They want their children to choose the option of writing the papers and would like to know his/her grade after exams to be on the safest side.They mean less stress for the child at a later stage. They want their children to clear the CBSE exam, which in itself is a milestone with full confidence to measure his/her own capabilities to decide his/her future with no external pressure. Exams would make students accountable towards their studies, and will help them judge for their weaknesses. The students’ responses too I am sure are in favour of the exams. An examination would let them know where they stand as the results mark the start of one’s academic career.
Allowing the school to grade their students themselves, there is more possibility of malpractices and cooking up the data. Now that the education has become a big business in most of the cities, the basic values of education are forgotten. Schools with good results take exorbitant fees and it is sure that they will go to any extent to show that their results are good .We can’t expect an impartial grading of students with the new system.
First of all CBSE I to X and till XII syllabus has been implemented to study in a proper way and to understand the concepts of subjects especially science and maths in a deeper way. Ask any other person who is not from CBSE to explain Trigonometry relations and formulae, they find it difficult. But a CBSE X pass student can do it easily. He/She has learnt all these things by practicing the things on paper. If a CBSE X passed student knows the digestive system of human being, if he knows greenhouse effect, if he knows global warming, then it should be understood that it has made him or had been taught him by explaining in a proper way and finally important is that he has been made to write down the figures, chemical reactions, etc. And a conscious mind resembles many things with the help of figures/pictures. When one says trigonometric relations, a figure will come in front of his eyes which was printed in NCERT book which he has studied years back. It is a kind request to Indian Human Resource Department to implement the same theoretical pattern examinations. Please don't spoil the future of the Bright Indian students. We know some pressure will be there on child's mind, but if he gets through this period, then he will be the most confident person and he will be proud that he has gone through the CBSE X examinations, that too in a theoretical pattern ,not even grading. And one more thing, this grade system is also supported by the paper evaluators (teachers)
Ideally, interest in the material to be learned is the best stimulus to learning, rather than such external goals as grades or later competitive advantage. Not teaching devices, but teachers, are the principle agents of instruction and more importantly, learning. The first object of any act of learning, over and beyond the pleasure it may give, is that it should serve us in the future. Learning should not only take us somewhere; it should allow us later to go further more easily. Mastery of the fundamental ideas of a field involves not only the grasping of general principles, but also the development of a attitude towards leaning and inquiry, towards guessing and hunches, towards the possibility of solving problems on one's own. Unless detail is placed into a structured pattern, it is rapidly forgotten. At each stage of development a person has a characteristic way of viewing the world and explaining it to himself. The task of teaching a subject to a person at any particular developmental stage is one of representing the structure of that subject in terms of the person's way of viewing things. Learning a subject seems to involve three almost simultaneous processes. First, there is acquisition of new information -- often information that runs counter to or is a replacement for what the person has previously known. A second aspect of learning may be called transformation -- the process of manipulating knowledge to make it fit new tasks. Transformation comprises the ways we deal with information in order to go beyond it. A third aspect of learning is evaluation, checking whether the way we have manipulated information is adequate to the task.
The quest, it seems to many, is to devise materials that will challenge the superior student while not destroying the confidence and the will-to-learn of those who are less fortunate. We have no illusions about the difficulty of such a course, yet it is the only one open to us if we are to pursue excellence and at the same time honor the diversity of talents we must educate. Somewhere between apathy and wild excitement, there is an optimum level of aroused attention that is ideal for classroom activity. Films, audio-visual aids and other such devices may have the short-run effect of catching attention. In the long run, they may produce a passive person waiting for some sort of curtain to go up to arouse him. The issue is particularly relevant in an entertainment oriented, mass-communication culture where passivity and spectatorship are dangers.
If teaching is done well and what we teach is worth learning, there are forces at work that will provide the external prod that will get people more involved in the process of learning than they were in the past. There is much discussion about how to give our schools a more serious intellectual tone, about the relative emphasis on athletics, popularity, and social life on the one hand and on scholarly application on the other. The teacher's tasks as communicator, model and identification figure can be supported by a wise use of a variety of devices that expand experience, clarify it, and give it personal significance.
Our education system does not encourage teamwork. A classic example would be examinations and tests, if we work together in an exam we will fail. They call it cheating in the name of testing our knowledge. Our rulers(I mean ministers) realized that unimaginable things can be created when a group of people put their minds together for something. That is why they want us to be separated and alone, by brainwashing us into believing that to succeed in life we have to be competitive, be alone and abandoned by family. The fact is, when we succeed in life, more people would gather around us and our family’s status does not change.
At school, we get scolded and punished for making mistakes. Our intelligence is also judged based on whatever mistakes we made at school. Then we are told not to make mistakes again in the future. But how is that possible? We are humans, we are bound to make mistakes as we learn new things! This only brings out the inaction within us that paralyzes our natural desire to take action when opportunities arise. Our educators tell us to learn from our mistakes as we grow.
Rulers know deep in their hearts that money can be used to buy power (that is what they are doing around the world). So to keep us from becoming money literate and attaining power, courses like money engineering do not exist. Instead, they instill in us ambitions like doctor, engineer and lawyer. This makes us “modern slaves” of our rulers until the day we die! Look at how much we are taxed, both through tax and inflation. Here is the solid proof of the intervention of our rulers with our education for the worse. The never ending change of language used to teach Mathematics and Science in our country, which is an act of corruption on our education system.
Unfortunately, we must admit that this is one of the ugliest facts that we have to swallow regardless of the places we live in, we are all still “slaves” of our “king”. Probably, and the first step to curb the problem would be the realization of this corrupted education system of ours. Next? We must join power and be the “troublesome” citizens. But we would not rebel, we will play according to the rules of the government and win the game they play!
