Dreams and works have no gender. Everyone is entitled for the both. Most of the time selection of works need dreams. Dreams are encouraging growth engine for individual, societies and nations.
A dream ascertains goal and instigates the brain for determination to tread the path for concerted efforts for fulfillment of dream. Dream of every individual may or may not be same. The prevailing situations control the fulfillment of dreams or compell for changing the dreams. Time is the strongest factor and controller of reality for dreams come true. The government’s schemes and priorities in the interests of nation create opportunities and may change dream of individual.
If we go through the priorities of nation we may analyse that the demand changed from civil engineers to agriculture officials to electronics to computer science and from IT to currently, artificial intelligence and robotics. All these changes were controlled by overall need of a country for generating employments and improving economic conditions, increasing safety and security etc. of people. The developments of neighbouring countries and relationship also control the priorities of a nation. All of these, change dreams of many from time to time.
It is said a man of principle never changes and always strides for dream. This is must and appreciable. But this is also expected that a man should be adjustable to the situations as the bending trees never break in storm and stand erect after passing of storm. Everyone should be like such trees and should wait for the congenial atmosphere for dream’s fulfillment.
If you are hungry you need food first. If your family is in trouble you have to save. You can’t ignore your responsibilities because of your dream. But you may try to fulfill your dream, the moment you think of being self reliant and get yourself in comfortable situation. There are many examples where age is no bar for fulfillment of dreams. The zeal should be alive.
Whether we agree or not financial conditions play vital role in life.
Whoever has excelled in any profession has worked hard to the maximum relentlessly. We may learn from the success stories of such achievers that there is neither short cut for fulfillment of dreams nor wrong means help achieving the dreams. If any student tops the class or institution by adopting unacceptable means then he may be happy but his dreams will seldom be fulfilled. Any one may get degree in engineering or medical from institutions accepting donations but professionally may not be useful. Most of them may be like a carpenter who quarrells with his tools because of incomplete knowledge. Any unacceptable, illegal method should not be encouraged. We should justify our dreams through our work.
In this complicated and uncertain world we may not realise our dreams alone and need well wishers and cooperation of all needed for those dreams. It is known that one swallow does not make summer. Every foundation stone in the construction of a mansion is most important and valuable. We should always have second options to avoid disappointment, if first dream fails to be materialised.
We should not be sheep and fall into the well. We should analyse our weakness and strength and pros and cons of a dream. We should choose dreams beneficial to the humanity. One fault may be annihilating.
Dream is a driving force. It should be positive to benefit the humanity and the nature. It should be imitative.
Habits
I have both good and bad habits. I always had attitudes for my thinking and good habits when I was in my village.
When I went to my district headquarter for higher education after passing the class 10th exam, I faced with the facts that all my earlier good habits were ridiculous for city dwellers. There I learnt the new good habits of going to cinema and tried smoking also for belonging to developed category. I became cunning and wicked. Even I changed my thinking and speaking style. But when I went to bigger city for further study in university all my habits of yesterdays proved to be sign of backwardness. I adopted new habits of bunking classes for nothing, roaming here and there in search of smartness, demanding more money from home despite knowing the financial condition of father. I became more selfish to show smartness. Now, I recalled as to how my elder brothers and their friends used to discuss on cinema, heroes and heroines showing their knowledge and smartness. I also recalled the villagers who had left the village for ever. Whenever they came for short visit they proclaimed that villages are not worth living and people are very backward as compared to people of cities.
My journey for education witnessed the various stages of developed attitudes and habits from village to small city to big and bigger cities. In short, it was like categorisation of undeveloped, underdeveloped, developing and developed nations of the world and stereotype attitudes towards each category. Our country is still considered as country of snake charmers and poor beggers despite our rich history and stupendous contributions of ancestors in science, maths, universe and medicines etc. and modern developments in various fields. Such attitudes are there for villages in cities. Once upon a time our country was famous as sone ki chiriya( golden bird).
Finally, I became a very good, smart, self centered and selfish professional. Though I knew all my adopted good habits were bad or worse as I was a villager by birth and having selfless helping attitude. I used them for survival, wherever necessary, in the so called developed big, bigger and biggest cities.
But at last, I accept, I was lost with no identity. I am still a villager by heart. No city without villages can flourish. I have settled at the countryside and road has reached upto my village. I am afraid of changes. ???
We should never change our good habits. We may refine, define and confine them to be more confident in changing world. Humanity should get importance for over all developments and self-interest. We should take lessons from ancestors and utilise experience of seniors. We know old habits die hard but existence and continuity should get preference. Morality may fill every gap.
We have tried to make harmful cocoons around us in the name of developments. It is better to be wise to look into the future from the outcomes of present. Simplicity paves for completeness and spreads smile.
Such habits will pay forever.
Education
I am expressing my thinking on education first. Our country is full of diversities in many respect. So there are many differences in education both statewise and educational boardwise. That is affecting the performance of students at state as well as at national level in different competitive exams. That is creating many problems in the society.
So such existing system should be completely overhauled for everyone’s benefit.
1. There should be only one syllabus in every state after class VIII to avoid the difference in standard of education.
2. If possible there should be only one education board for conducting the exam of board level.
3. There may be statewise difference in syllabus in education upto class VIII. There may be impetus on knowledge related with state’s culture, language, traditions, customs, history.
4. Since it is known that a child can learn faster upto certain age, three languages ( mother tongue, national language and English) may be taught from early days.
5. Apart from routine syllabus, certain physical activities, every weekend motivational speech, games, and practical knowledge may be given.
6. The impetus on physical and mental activities should be given to prepare every child for future as per requirements of time.
7. Knowledge of every aspect of life should be given from early days.
8. The parents and grand parents may also be involved in imparting the education at primary level to inculcate the family values and importance of united families. It should not be like prevailng parent teacher meeting.
9. There should be only one type of school to avoid status differences and sense of insecurity from very beginning.
10. Every child should get opportunities to develop in the field of interast from very beginning.
11. Stories of our grand civilisation, national leaders of all walk of life, achievements of our old generations in revealing the secrets of nature and universe and many more possible well thought facts should be given to inculcate nationality.
12. Since it is known that many teachers from cities avoid to go to village’s schools, local educated villagers may be involved for this purpose after giving proper training.
13. There may be occasional healthy competition between schools in cities and villages to know the status of education and need of improvements from students as well as teachers point of view.
14. Since a good sleep is required for complete growth of child the timing of school should begin from 9:30am or later, atleast for primary level
15. Since primary education is very important for the nation building devoted teachers should be given responsibilities with best salaries. These teachers craft the future of generation so they should not be involved in other activities of government rather they should be continuously judged on the basis of the performance of their students.
16. There should be frequent educational tours and performance should be judged on application of knowledge and practical approach rather ratta mar system of exam and unhealthy competition for number to boast.
These are my views. I request everyone to express her/ his views in extending it.
