As the Learned say, Education is
one investment that will never go waste.
But, I wonder how much education is
enough to make you a literate, and cultured enough to stand in a crowd and yet
be confident of the decisions you made?
Although, a man should be open to learning at
any age, should he be earning a degree after the degree to get the label of a
wise man? Sometimes, common sense and being in the right place at the right
moment can do wonders for some. Luck also plays a prominent role in those who
aim high. Examples are many that literally a site has been dedicated for
college dropouts who have dared to touch the sky. Now, I am not encouraging
anyone to drop out of college just to test drive their luck. But, with the
increasing costs for everything, there is no harm in introspecting the courses
one has enrolled in and finding his worth, passion or his future? Nothing comes for free, thus taking loans to
get a degree that will be the pride of your glass cabinet while you stress day
in and out to work towards the payment of the credit makes no sense! Thus, next
time when you get an enrollment form for a particular course; dig within and
find something that we all have in common, which is not that common since we
hardly use it, but it prevails! Common Sense!
There are people with degrees
stacked up, and still not have the fundamental sense of living or dealing with
pesky neighbors or relatives or any practical matter.
It is a good sense that enables
judgment in practical matters and gives an individual the capability to be
savvy and street smart.
Research has indicated that it is
within all, but seldom do we tweet within and try to learn from our experiences
and combine it with the wisdom we have attained from a mere degree!
Mantra for today: Common sense is
not common, but it would make a lot of sense if understood.
