"Its too hot today"
" I know"
"The weather isn't getting colder"
"I know"
"I wish the weather gets colder"
"I know"
" I'm going mad with heat!"
"I know."
"Just what kind of an answer is that?!!"
"I know"
" While most normal people say why?, you say this. Good answer!"
"I know"
Nowadays, you can either be a knowbody, or a nobody. And its just not the usual, droning, bookish stuff either.
People are progressing deeper and deeper towards development, and the unique approaches surprise us everyday. Science and literature, sore enemies, have started to actually relate, people are now comparatively more aware of what a mirage "magic" is. Fairy tales have become outdated, and in a world where now everybody gets exceptional marks, you have to know what else counts.
You seemingly know every page of your chapter. You seemingly know all the questions coming in the exams. You seemingly know how much you're going to get, so its assumed that you seemingly, can predict your future.
"The future belongs to those, who know where they belong." No. This doesn't mean sharp, strategic planning, prodigies, achievements. This means knowing actually who you are and why are you in this world. All of us have a role to play. Doctors save lives, engineers build them, technicians power them, architects shelter them, and idiots liven them up. We can decide what we want to do, what we want to choose.
The hardest challenge life throws at us is always in the form of a choice. Since our choices make us who we are, and shape us, we have to cross fingers and make sure its the right one.
I was browsing this website called TED : Technology, Entertainment, Design. Its a platform for sharing ideas which can change the world. Sort of academic, the cleverness amuses me. They made sure not to include "study", "education", "literacy" or any other academic word in the title.
There are amazing videos, of manipulating DNA of microorganisms to make super solar batteries or cells, making personalized skin tissue models of our organs and testing cures for different ailments, diseases. Moreover, its a lovely place to gain insight into the more complicated matters of the world. Everyone, even the dumbest ass, wants to know. They may not want to know how to calculate x or the vectors and scalars, but they certainly want to know which company hair dye did the Principal use today morning, or even the peculiar, strange meal times of their obese friends. Curiosity is the most wonderful as well as the most fatal flaw our human nature possesses.
So if we abandon school, sit at home doing futile things, sever all connections from the outside world and marry our TV and video games, will you end up being the king, or his attendant? Or none?
I don't know about you, but trust me, I Know.
