I am sure at one point in life, all of us would have asked this question. Why do I have to study? or What is the point of being educated? It is vital to spread the message that education helps them gain maturity and stop raw thinking. Education tunes the human brain to think in a more refined manner and it helps a person to translate the mind's language into the colloquial language. In the present generation white collar labor has become popular. People are expected to have the capacity to think and express themselves with confidence. Job opportunities of the present generation are mostly given on the basis of intellectual capacity of the person. Why should your priority always be education?

As I sat on the small brick bench and observed a strawberry flower a couple of t...

Dear Readers, The competition in the present generation is making life a struggle. But most of the youth do not seem one bit alarmed or even aware of this serious condition. The position of elders, teachers or even their own parents in their eyes is declining and nowadays it is not surprising if you see a child rebuking his or her parents or teachers. I would like to give an example. The children of my school who travel with me everyday by the school bus often jeer at the pedestrians for no reason and take much joy in throwing paper balls at them and when they are questioned by the bus driver, they throw mocking comments to him with a lot of disrespect. We find no feeling of gratitude in the present generation children at all. They do not realize the efforts  the driver takes to ensure that they reach home safely.
