Hi all..
I am not a popular blogger, and I think a few people only read my blog, and 1 of those few comment. But still, writing after a long time. This year has brought many ups and downs to me, which is not new to me ever. I have gone through many downs in my life, especially in the matters of heart. But, here am I, stronger, and positive minded, with a new approach to things. Sometimes, when I think about my past, I really want to come back to my present, as there are most of things I would like to forget. I wonder if it was the same person, who committed such mistakes, and didn't apply his mind while making them.
Earlier I had a different viewpoint of things, and I thought just from my heart always, but then I guess it was high time to get practical and forget the negatives that hurt u, rather than keep dwelling on them. By my luck or otherwise, I once happened to come along the book of a bestselling author, Robert Kiyosaki. When I started reading the book, at first I didn't get much. But slowly, I actually understood what he was trying to say. Everything written in his books is a challenge to the current trend in the society, like going to school, study hard, get good grades, then go to some engineering/medical/ business college, again study hard, get good grades, then again study hard, be manipulative, face an interview, Say what the interviewers like to say, get a high paying job, work from 10 to 6, get scolded for ur follies, do enough work to avoid getting fired, etc etc.
If you frankly ask someone, what is the use of spending 12+ years in school or college, and what are the uses of things u have been taught in school? The fact is, if you wanna be successful and rich in real life, u don't need to be a top grader in school. I am not saying that going to school and getting education is bad, but there are few things in schools, (mentioned in Kiyosaki's books too) which I don't like. Schools punish children if they do some mistakes. Children are afraid of making mistakes. This philosophy continues in almost their whole life. First teachers punished them, then they think that if they commit mistakes, life will punish them, they will get failed, etc. But the fact is, people always ONLY learn by making mistakes. With the threat of punishment, students often are afraid doing anything, and they don't learn much. Big investments and big businesses involve big risk. If you don't take risk, you will be safe, but u'll not move ahead on the ladder of big success. Most of the people always think of playing it safe. Just limiting themselves to a simple job, earning a little, adjusting on things they can't buy, and when they are on their deathbed, they think " Wish I had done that..." or likewise. U only live once, it's ur choice which kind of life u prefer.
Secondly, schools focus on making students ONLY job efficient. They are made to mug up things, rather than actually understanding them. They read what they are made to read, what is written in the book, rather than what actually the fact is. History is a good example. Congress has been in power for most of time, and so there are chapters on their leaders like Gandhi, Nehru, and just a small mention on the true freedom fighters who gave up their life, like Bhagat Singh, Azaad. How many of us know these martyrs' birth date or death anniversary? If u really wish to be rich, just be in school so as to pass, and don't think deeply, or do research on what u have read in school. Also, many people say " Work hard". I do agree a little, but I would prefer to work for 2-3 hours a day for myself and earning 10,000 than working for 8 hours for some other person, getting scolded on mistakes, do what ur boss wants u to do, and in the end, getting just 5,000. U get rich by ur mind, not only by ur body. If latter were the case, the most rich persons were the laborers. There are a lot of things that I can write, about the current flaw in education and law, but it's already a long post till now, and many of u will not agree to me, simply coz u don't want to go against the things being told by most of other people. Now I tend to question everything rather than just accepting the fact. I explore opportunities, rather than problems. Thank you for ur patience, if u have read this much. Suggestions and questions welcome.
