The aim of Education is the Knowledge not of facts but of values.

This question, has always - without fail, been thrust upon me. Too expected, for an entity, this age. The inevitable, big question mark on, "how are you to further your studies?". There, Ive said it. Representing other Readers out there, being in the same typical jeopardy as me. More or less. Its that lump of sore stuck in your throat, just stuck. No matter how many, Strepsils or Fisherman's brand; you tried stuffing in, it wouldnt go away. Unless the malaise has agreed to retreat. Having said that, only time will tell. Not that these people really do care, whether you have been sick or some bad events which had befallen upon you. Just being plain, cavillers.

I have no qualms, in expressing myself out. In fact, I thrive on such occasions. Its probably in the blood, though i personally wouldnt want to probe nor have the luxury of time to do that. To reserve any more time further, would be side-tracking to the aim of this notion. hehe.. Maybe one day, I shall dive into the matter about myself. But i shall hate it, i prefer to remain an autonomous. Drawing attention - not! on myself. Self-indulgent was never my ulterior agenda. But maybe, just maybe; for other issues that is away from describing the personal me. You get the idea. hehe..

Agreeing on one cause would be making an unguarded opinion altogether. After all, there is always a flipside to a given notion. Understanding the root of the problem would be solving half the problem, best.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. That is the search for magnitude to the truth of such an adage would be to challenge altitude. Experience comes seconded, the protagonist against trials and tribulations. Time is of essence to experience whence wisdom is borne the product of sound knowledge and well-invested former. Though, Fate has strange dealings with Future and Luck as it comes in question. If you believe in religion, just my opinion.

For the account, the strength and character of a tree, is not judged by length of its shadow but the depth and sturdiness of its roots. Adaptation has a major influence, much in the survival of a tree or organism. Whether in a pristine rainforest or a tundra desert, plants thrive accordingly, following rigid laws of nature.

Man, are however blessed with wonderfully developed talents instilled to overcome adversity and one's perception to adaptation and tolerance are most acute when the question of survival looms upon oneself. What differences then separate humans apart across vast continents? Rather, it is the awakening path to self-discovery, the lifelong learning, keenness to embrace and percept knowledge as a notion that is wholly priceless and sacred. Only in understanding and questioning what the issues in life could one break mediocre barriers found in today's complex society. Then again, education system of a specific culture would have no effect to one's own independent thinking.

The physical attributes that maketh one, can bring one so far, the rest would be up to one's moldings and trappings for one's future. One, who knows best, learns best. What is the real choice, one wonder's? Open your heart and push the limits. Knowledge is potential power, knowledge applied is real power.
