I have not got an opportunity to
see the recent text books of school kids, just wondering if there has been any
update on the section which teaches about the basic amenities of life. If they
still have printed “Food, Clothing and
Shelter”, I would join the group of people who claim that the education
system sucks big time. The name of the game is “Smartness” and probably it has to be portrayed as the fourth and most
important amenity of any human in the advanced competitive world.
By competitive, I am not trying
to speak about some useless competitions we were forced to participate in. I am
not speaking about some crazy concepts like “the class topper is destined to rule
the world and a kid who just gets pass mark is not worth living”. It is all about being "smarter" than the rest and not being fooled.
In my point of view, we are a
part of the most selfish ecosystem. Everyone wants to grab your money and move away, starting from a rickshaw driver to CEOs of corporations. The same company that develops anti-virus software also
spreads malware and virus. That does not mean the consumers are fools. Even
they get 3 keys for one license and hence feel happy and propagate the fact
that they are smart J. The cycle continues.
How smart are you in sensing what
the other guy standing in front of you thinks and how quickly can you
strategize and outsmart him/her is the key.
Only “being smarter” can make you
stand out of the crowd and trust me, the ones who are reluctant to stand out from the crowd and who are shy to be different are probably the victims of stampede.
And of course, there is God to
save us all and for sure he will choose if a skinny person or a meaty person
would stamp us (The so called Karma). This decision will be purely based on his database containing information
on the frequency of visits and money transfer to the sacred destinations. Just a side-track.
Hard work, like Newton’s law is
just becoming a text book concept. Everybody knows a part of it, like the third
law, but no one knows the significance nor is bothered about what the hell it is. But for sure a lot of people know everything about Tony Stark as a scientist and his concepts. It is a world of smart and unconventional people, even though they are virtual at times.
You are a good guy, pat yourself.
You are honest, reward yourself with an extra scoop of ice cream. You never
cheated on the opposite gender? Brilliant, post it on your FB wall and no one
would even look at it. Precisely, no one has time to appreciate your achievements
and noble nature. The clock is ticking and time is money, love and whatever one wants. If you need to be in
the game, better keep playing it rough and do not waste time admiring how good you are.
In a nutshell, it is all about
being smart and hence powerful to stand out of the crowd. Why am I saying all these? May be coz I am strong and I give a damn what others think about my ideas :)
