Poetry : Persistent Change : Breaking barriers to Rise

Turns and folds of human brain,

Builds numerous cages out of fear and despair.

Ambiguity of future paints our mind,

Plotting a change resembles an arduous time.

Tend to build heavy boulders with stones,

Every possibilities overlooked and back-turned. 

100's in number the thoughts muddle,

Uncertainty screams, sterility jingle.

Poetry : Courageous Self-walk : Discovery of life facts

I wish to take a refreshing pause,

Barring to listen anyone’s speech or clause.

Shall create my own everlasting shine.

But this does not endow me serenity.

My walk may seem weary though,

Responsive to intuition makes me glow.

3 Pillars for Right Education : #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

Education comes to us in varying forms and styles for example through formal learnings in class rooms and informal way through experiences of life. The learning curve progresses towards positive scale and allows us the power to judge what is right for us, for our family, for our society we live and our nation. 

Gaining knowledge is not a process that has some specific time frame, it walks with us throughout our life making us little by little educated. The three step process that can clear the haze of understanding the fine line between good and bad is to Accept, Adapt and Reflect. Education gives the power to control all the these.

In the third post in the series #EducationForAll with Blogchatter under #CauseAChatter let us focus on how these 3 steps can make a smooth sail in tough times of life as an individual and as society.

What is importance of EDUCATION in life: #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

We are taking up #EducationForAll series for #CauseAChatter campaign of Blogchatter and in first post we will discuss the importance of education in our lives. This is the first post in this series and lets begin with the basics and the intent behind this topic.

What is EDUCATION:

Education teaches us how to respond to life situations with our knowledge and experience. We all will agree to this that wisdom gained from education can be applied in life though the lessons learnt are ages old. Real education is to impart knowledge to students to lead a happy and independent life. Isn’t we all want to implement what we learn and apply the same with a collaboration of like-minded people in an organisation or as an individual.

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” ~ Albert Einstein. What a profound thought by Albert Einstein that remains true till date. What we learn in formal education is just one part of the coin, the other part is to implement it through thoughts and actions. Education fills the void and makes it for use with a purpose. Finding purpose in life with education leads to enormous gates of opportunities. You need not be educated in a stream that is popular or just because your peer are choosing it instead one should be studying the stream where he/she can relate to an use the same in future.

But before we head to what one should opt and why, lets discuss importance of the same in our lives.
