illiterate graduates.

hi folks, this is the second part of my earlier post. to day i ask you, are you literate? the question of eduaction, knowledge and literacy is very exciting. in this day and age many go about this world with huge qualifications from the biggest institution with the notion that they deserve jobs becuase they believe they are literate. but what kind of education do you have? are you just word literate or do you have complete literacy. we live in the information age, yet our universities still have long queues for registration. many "graduates" have no idea how to design a simple presentation with Power Point. ask him to present a project or design a proposal and all hell breaks loose. people have no soft skills. they cant post a simple blog, they can't discuss the business times, they have no idea what a business plan looks like. young graduates have no leadership skills, no investment skills, no entepreneural skills, no business skills, no socail skills. we are finacially illiterate, emotionally illiterate, technologically illiterrate, economically illiterate and spiritually illiterate. so before you whip out your certifcate and CV to brag at an inteview, ask yourself, " im i really literate?

These slanderous effusions aren't only inaccurate but demeaning and deleterious to the health of the entire eye care community and especially...

Golden Seeds of Life: Knowledge .

If I don't know something, I would rather admit that I don't know. Getting to the point where you know exactly how much you don't know is the beginning of knowledge. It is at this point that seeking can take place and it is only in seeking, that there can be the possibility of Discovery! Be humble enough to admit you don't know. Be passionate enough to seek relentlessly and then, be grateful when you find. Afterwards seek to impart your knowledge in order to be a blessing to others. That is how the cycle of life and wisdom works. Be a part of the chain of knowledge. Don't be hoarder or a lake. Be a stream. Flow and nourish others. These are the golden seeds of a meaningful life.
