Its about...

Today I happen to go on a bus to meet a someone with regards to my non-profit project and on the way, i met to fours budding engineers who were returning from their college.
they were happy and enjoying the music being played on their phones and chatting with each other.
I interrupted them and asked them to tell me what the technology is being used in the mobile phone which they are using and enjoying the music.. they were speechless, they did not have any answer, so i told him to to do study appliances around which they use and gather information and knowledge about it on the web. explained them how to use the world wide web to their benefit and development. one of them told me that its not easy in the current days to be on par with others in this tight competition.He said, they need to get % inorder to be ontop.
Luckily, i knew what to say at that time and convinced them to balance out both knowledge and measurement system. I ve told them that without any measurement, there is no value of the effort which we put in unless we can and are measuring the same.So to balance out, knowledge should be attained at the highest level of understanding and expression of the same with regards to examination will help in getting evaluated and measured.

How many of us dont agree for this? we all agree but as i say, its easy to say than to do... As a kid, i remember i was also like those kids whom i met today, just worried about my marksheet and percentage.. but why do we have this as a universal issue at that age.. is this the right approach or is there something wrong in the system which we work in?

Food for thought...

There are always 2 ways in life.. take the one which suits you the best. Still I suggest, take the route which gives you long-term benefit rather than a quick short term...
