What role does education play in our lives?

So we would be talking about how imperative it is to understand the critical role of education in our lives 

We often see students talking about how inefficient and impractical is our education system and yes I partly agree to that too, but we have to understand the dynamic role it plays for a person to develop some kind of knowledge and the various means to grab and analyse that information.

Education facilitates the basic thought process of a human being. People have to start understanding that education does not mean just knowledge.  They are two different aspects. We see that people have developed a thought process but when they are trying to articulate their thoughts that is where basic education comes into play.

We all have to accept the reality that our education system is not providing us with practical skills that are efficient  enough. We have to understand that it is us who have to educate ourselves in our own manner. Eduction can only show us a direction but how do we pave our path that totally depends upon us. 

People tend to believe that if a person is more educated, she would have more knowledge than a less educated person but I respectfully disagree with that because we see that life skills are related to education but they are not dependent on it. A person gets successful in his life not by getting the knowledge or information he gets successful as he understands how that should be applied practically.

Practicality is one of the major aspects that is missing out according to my point of view. If we compare two people- one who is a meritorious person with high degree of qualification but no practical work experience and another person with a little less qualification but they have all the practical knowledge, of-course the person with the practical experience would be prioritised. 

We have to understand that whilst both education and its application in real life  play an important role in the development of the person,  we can not rely on the system for our practical knowledge. A person who goes an extra mile does surely get rewarded for it.

Financial literacy is also very important because knowing how to manage and invest the money is as important as how to earn that money .

We have to know the difference between richness and wealth. 

They look same but dont mean the same, this is the part where passive income comes in. We have to understand that the only way to become truly wealthy is earning money while you are sleeping that means creating multiple income and passive income sources that will give us a long term benefit. 

When it comes to earning money I think we have to see that we would do what we like, if you can convert your passion into your profession there is nothing better because we say that money is not everything and that is partially true too because money can only buy materialistic happiness for some point of time but the real happiness comes from within. Money can only buy you your comfort which can get turned into your happiness .

I would like to conclude this by saying that we have to be independent in life if we want to do something big because we have two options either we keep blaming our system and then act accordingly or we try to be responsible for ourselves and do something so that it creates an impact and changes things and of course this cannot happen overnight, therefore, so we have to keep working hard and smart at the same time. Keep hustling and dont give up and take responsibility for your own life  instead of blaming others.

Self sustaining lifestyle

So we would be talking about self sustaining lifestyle.

What is self sustaining lifestyle?

Self sustaining in laymen language means self sufficient that basically indicates that we don't have to depend on others for our needs. In todays world everything is linked together and someway or the other we all are dependent on each other. We somehow depend on the nature or the people or anyone else directly or indirectly .

We rely upon nature for the resources and on the people to attain different kinds of goods or services worldwide. 

We have to understand that being self sufficient is very important and plays a critical role in the inner development of  person as a whole. 

We all as humans have become so dependant on each other that we can not even do minimal scale of activities on our own; this signifies that we have to start realising its importance and act upon it. 

The first few things to become independent or self reliant is going back to the basics because the modern era has brought in so many changes whether it be technological or physical or mental.

We as a whole have become modernised which has led to a whole lot of dependancy on others so the first step to be taken is going back to the basics and using simple means to live, secondly, we have to understand the role of critical and long term thinking. 

The decisions should not be made very quickly without giving it a thought instead we should analyse as to how the particular decision will impact our life and what would be the future  results. 

We know that future is totally uncertain and we cannot predict anything but what we can do is put in our best to analyse things and then act upon it .

Now as we talk about independency, being frugal comes into the play. Being frugal basically means practicing financial discipline as a whole. Whether it be managing the income sources or understanding the expenditure for the luxurious and lavish lifestyles that we see in the present day.

Thirdly, we would be talking about changing with the seasons 

- this means that we have to acknowledge that change is constant in our lives. Nothing remains same forever. Each and everything changes with the passage of time and as we are aiming to achieve a self sustaining lifestyle we should not be rigid at all as rigidity leads to loss and at some point in our life we have to change with the changing environment. This does mean that we start to do what others are doing ,it signifies that we can not always be using the same old practices and we have to change our practices and ourselves to survive and adapt in the environment.

In conclusion, we have to understand and align ourselves with reality when we are talking about self sustaining lifestyle. We can not be 100% independent because all of us can not grow our food and not all of us can make appliances and many other things.

We must understand that being self sufficient does not mean that we do everything ourselves. It essentially means that we should not be completely dependent on others and we should be able to do things and activities that are in our control and within our limits.

Mental health and its ramifications

So today, we would be talking about mental health.

What is mental health and how crucial it is in ones life. Mental health has been one of the major attention grabbing topic in the past decade. Why?

Because of the increasing suicide rate all over the world. Bullying is one such act which affects mental health exponentially.

Now we have to understand that just making fun of someone is not bullying, bullying is harassing a person to the highest extent. 

We being the part of the futuristic century have to accept that making fun or simply troll someone is not bullying but when you cross the limit that is known as bullying, trolling for entertainment is fine but when it goes to being abusive, judging characters at that point it becomes threatening. 

As a student we all might have been slightly bullied either by our mates or seniors but that does not affect our peace of mind that much because we accept it as a way of fun or something else. But when a person is really being bullied it destroys their peace of mind and shatters the persons mental health. 

What is a bully? A person who teases you, a person who calls you different names a person who tries to hit you. No deep down that person has been from that same trauma same past and thats what made him like this. 

I would not disagree to the fact that there are bullies that have no bad past and they just do it to satisfy or boost their ego but most of them or according to my say majority of them have been mistreated or misguided in the past and now just to overcome it they do that things to some other person.

Basically its a chain. We have to break the chain so no other person even thinks about bullying someone. A normal person would  only bully someone if he has been through something bad. When a person gets harassed its not only his mental health affected it affects the person physically too. Insecurities is the biggest problem in todays date because you get judged for each and everything. You are fat you’ll be told to loose some fat you are slim you’ll be taunted too. 

There is no difference whatsoever but the point is we have to be truthful to ourselves if we want to change we will if we don't want to then nobody’s opinion should be hurting us. 

Mental health- The trendy topic, isn't it? One big personality commits suicide or something happens suddenly the pseudo sympathy starts getting channelised among the people or I would say influencers. Why dont we talk about mental health earlier , why do we always act when we loose someone why do we always have to address the consequences after something bad has already happened because these people do not really care about mental health.

It Is a fact that a person who is not mentally happy can not stay physically fit at all times. When a person is going through something his health would also be affected and by posting stories on various platforms that you can come talk to us wont help the person. When a person is actually depressed even he/she doesn’t whats wrong so instead of posting stories we should act on the real ground basis, we should talk to our friends family or whosoever you can talk directly because thats the only thing that is gonna help. 

Taking in consideration the current scenario the pandemic covid 19 has caused a major or I would say humongous effect on mental as well as the physical health of people at this point in time with so many casualties happening do to this virus the whole world is shook  negativity is spread all around and at this point of time we dont even know whats gonna happen the next moment, so we should support each other actually and not just posting stories and posts as a hypocrite we should be with our loved ones and as a personal opinion end grudges with whosoever they are because we dont know whats gonna happen next so its better to stay happy and satisfied for whatever we have.

Concluding it all, I want to say that we together have to step up against bullying and for that we have to help each and everyone in our reach on reality basis we have to understand what is going in the mind of the person who tries to harass or bully the other person. Together we can beat each and everything lets come together and help each other in these suffering times and stay happy with whatever we are and we have achieved while we still strive for more because a successful person stays happy and at the same time works for more future endeavours.

2020-Disaster Or An Experience

Now as we have entered 2021, A new Year, a new beginning but before this we faced a very drastic or say sadistic type of year. This year was one of a kind. A roller coaster ride in our life. This was the first time in my life I had experienced a pandemic. Which is the deadly novel corona virus also addressed as covid-19.

I had just given my boards in the starting months of 2020, I was happy as I thought I would be attending parties and enjoying my self as much as I can. But it was astonishing to know that the next day just after my exams were over, we were put under lockdown for our safety from the virus. A couple of months passed by and everybody thought that everything would be fine very soon , but who knew that we would be facing it even now. 

Overall, it has been a year with ups and downs like all other years but mostly downs this time. We spent a lot more time in our homes and with our family, in the starting phases we even had to the chores ourselves to avoid any health hazard.

For me it was a great experience as I learned a lot of new things which would eventually be helping me in my future endeavours. School was also too different this year. Everything was online, our classes, our talks our games and every other thing. Sanitisation was and is still given a major importance throughout the whole year. 

I met a whole lot of new people and also connected with them and just to balance it out I distanced myself from toxicity and  according to me I think that this year gave a lot of lessons to me and I realised how important my people are to me whether it be family or friends. On a personal level I also got quite a few good opportunities like being an official esports player and learning new things , new subjects and new topics . 

Now talking about the other factors this year taught me the value of the things which were very easily accessible to me. Like going out was kind of an aspiration in the mid- covid scenario and that’s when I realised that every thing matters a lot be it small or big, I learned the value of how important things were to me. The whole year has ended now and we just plead that everything will get back to normal very soon because this is a once in a lifetime experience which I think I faced in my teens. 

I don’t think that the year is blameable for all the mis happenings that took place this year but still for the whole world this was not a very happy year After  seeing all this I also got motivated to keep my self more healthier and tried to enhance my immunity and work on my body too. I try to give my best while doing my workouts which gives me immense pleasure when I see my self growing and improving day by day .

As of now I would like to conclude that this had not been an amazing year but I would say I had good experiences overall.
