EDUCATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WEALTH

It has been said that education is more important than wealth or any kind of valuables for that matter. Personally, I believe this is true. For wealth may vanish or may be lost suddenly. It may also become useless and priceless if not spent wisely and well.

Not so with education. When one gets an adequate education. he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. It becomes a lot easier for him to secure a good job. He will be able to earn a living for himself by applying the skills he had learned, and above all he will be able to understand life in a much easier and intelligent way. On the other hand, if we are not educated end do not know a single trade or line of work,then it will become hindrance in our dealings with other people. In view of our inabilities, we find extreme difficulty in overcoming the obstacles,hardships and handicaps we encounter in life. We perennially persecuted by our own ignorance and lack of understanding. But with adequate education we can  easily overcome all this obstacles. We feel sure and confident when faced with problems.

This is the reason why education is more important than wealth. It is a kind of possession which cannot be bought by money nor gold. It cannot destroyed nor threatened by any kind of calamity. When you have it, then it stays with you forever because it is God's greatest gift of man.           

Tragedy of Life

In this world, lots of things have been happening around. Some are good and some are bad. If one is lucky , the road the road ahead of him is easy and smooth while  for the unlucky ones, the way ahead is hard and rough. However, we cannot say that going through rough times is unlucky because after the hardship, there is always comes a reward. To cite an example, there is an incident to know about a tragic experience.

            There was a man who had everything-a good home and a wonderful family. One day, this man  got sick. When he went to the doctor , he was advised to be taken to the hospital because he got a serious illness. It took him long to stay in the hospital. All his earnings had gone to the hospital bills. His wife had to earn for their everyday needs. Their only son had to stay schooling because they could not cope up with the with the daily expenses. When he came out from the hospital, his tears could not seem to stop because of this tragic moment that happened on his life. But through his wife's inspiring words, he was consoled and tried his best to be well again.

          When he was strong enough to work,  he tried to go back to his job.What a luck because his employer still wanted him and he was given a chance to work again. He was so thankful that day and told himself that life ahead was not after all always rough, and that there were also  smooth roads ahead.

           This tragedy of life is only one of the things that have been happening around. When this things happen to us , let us always bear in mind that  behind the cloud, there is always a silver lining.
