THE FATAL ERROR

I was almost thinking there is a predestined employer for every employee.

We are trained to be employees

So we get out we look for our employers.

What a fatal error in the lives of our youngsters.

.

I laugh at the absurdity of the world’s sanity.

Education is not the end, it is the means

Ignorance of this truth has led many to frustration

When the market can’t accept their qualification

Either due to congestion or their retardation.

Ignorance and education wait at the extremes of a continuum

The farther you are from one

The closer you are to the other.

But when a graduate remains ignorant inspite of his level of education,

He only passed school

His impatience and greed didn’t let school pass through him.

Don’t fill the space in class.

Fill the space in the universe.

You are not the finished product so stop looking for a final consumer

You are the tool so start building your own world.

Make learning interesting, give your life some meaning.

Education doesn’t end after graduation

Education has no end

So stop rushing it else you meet a dead.
