Einstein was not denying the importance of
reason, and nor would I suggest that reason was
unimportant to him, but it would appear that for
him there was more to the workings of science
than pure reason. Although I hesitate to interpret
Einstein's thought, to my mind he seems to be
acknowledging that we can all experience the
mysterious, that which is beyond reason.
(Mark Tully, 'India's unending Journey)

Each year we are inundated by millions of
students who must cope with ever increasing
amounts of theoretical knowledge as new topics
and details emerge. The challenge is to improve
the existing system so that it assesses more
accurately the advanced skills students need in
an increasingly competitive world. Many of our
national leaders, past and present have been
passionately committed to education. They have
pioneered mass education, literacy movements
and extensive higher learning. But other countries
are able to achieve higher academic levels. Why
can't we ? The reason is simple : pressures and
obstacles upset people. There is a nervous hurry
when the examination dates draw near. Predicted
examination content is studied to the exclusion
of other learning. We make examinations the
end of education and not an accessory in its
acquisition.

75 tonnes - valued at about Rs 20,000 crore - of
the 650 tonnes of gold sold in India every year
and is home to some of Asia's largest gold
showrooms. And it's not just the urban parts of
the state where swanky, mammoth showrooms
are coming up every day; even the villages are
witnessing the gold rush with showrooms
covering up to 35,000 sq ft.
This huge demand is attributed to the
growing remittances - Rs 40,000 crore annually -
by its 20 lakh - strong non - residents based in the
Gulf and the US. Another reason is the steep
increase in prices of rubber in the last 10 years,
from Rs 25 per kg to Rs 225 per kg, which is

accepted norm in most organizations, he says.
Paper has become the foundation on which our
organizations are built. While a large proportion
of this paperwork is important, most
organizations, both public and private, are
suffocating under mountains of unwanted paper.
Each piece of paper on the desk distracts us up to
five times a day. We habitually handle
paperwork several times before deciding what to
do with it. So what should they do if they have
paper mountains on their desk ? Dump it in the
bin ? Well yes, says Treacy. Or rather he
suggests following four simple rules and dumping
the stuff is number four. Rule number three is
file it. Number two suggests passing it to
someone else. Number one is the rule no one will
like : act on it.
What you should not do is add to the pile of
paper that's already there ? Eighty percent of all
paperwork is eventually discarded, but it causes
an awful lot of trouble before that happens.
Unfortunately most of the executives believe the
myth that an empty desk is the sign of an
unproductive mind. How wrong can you be ?
Companies cannot afford to let people work from
cluttered desks. Hours of valuable time are
wasted in searching for vital pieces of paper and
in being distracted by the constant stream of
faxes, memos and reports which land in our
in-trays when we should be devoting time to

Besides poverty, laziness is another reason.
Begging, to some people, appears to be easier
than doing honest work. Many beggars are rich.
Kidnapping children makes them rich and idle.
Beggary is a social evil. It degrades human
beings to the level of whining, whimpering
parasites, robbing them of all vestiges of
self-respect.
In order to remove this blot from our
society, the government may help a lot. The first
step is to provide food, shelter and employment
to the beggars. Giving and asking for alms should
be banned by law. The beggars should be assured
of the basic necessities of life.

Many successful individuals with learning
problems have discovered that they can bypass
their difficulties and find alternative ways of
getting the job done. The famed inventor and
industrialist Henry Ford had difficulty reading
and remembering facts. He built a multi-million
dollar empire by overcoming these difficulties in
a different way. He surrounded himself with
people who could answer any question he desired
to ask, concerning the business to which he was
devoting most of his effort. As he himself said,
“Why should I clutter up my mind with general
knowledge for the purpose of being able to
answer questions, when I have men around me
who can supply any knowledge I require ?”
