The reality of university education that focus on knowledge and skills for jobs

  The reality of university education that focus on knowledge and skills for jobs     Companies need university graduates with knowledge and skills that they need.  Why?   In most cases, a company wants someone who is ready to work with minimum training.  This is most efficient way of running a company in terms of money and time.   But what does this mean for students?    It means the student can be replaced by anyone who has similar knowledge and training. This also means that anyone can be replaced anytime.  In addition, by forcing students to compete for the same knowledge and skills, societies can filter more suitable ones for them.   Basically, university graduates are being manipulated to be small parts like nuts and bolts in a big machine.

The reason fish has fins

  The reason fish has fins   The reason fish has fins is to swim through the water. A finless fish would be swept away by water and die.   The reason that a bird has wings is to fly through the air. A wingless bird would be an easy prey for predators.   The reason a human has two arms and legs is to run and swim to win a competition. Anyone without active movement would be culled from the competition.   The movements of arms and legs are controlled by willpowers. Without wills, life would become lazy and passive.   Willpower is an essential component for winning a competition.   Dreaming about comfortable and happy life would make a person lazy and passive. Because the thoughts will inhibit brain to develop willpower to competition.   - PonderEd, education provider for active life! -

Life of a happy slave vs. life of a pioneer

  Life of a happy slave vs. life of a pioneer     If a slave admits that he/she is a slave, he/she can live happy life.   But the happiness can be overturned by the owner.   If you think that you are happy because of someone other than yourself, you are mentally enslaved.   In other words, you are not the owner of your own life.   ==============   Pioneers can also feel happiness when they achieved their goals. This happiness is different because it is from his/her own achievement.   They will leave the happiness behind to enterprise into darkness again.   ==============   The reason for studying is to live a fulfilling life as a master. Not a slave.   If you are happy at the moment, exam where the happiness is from.     - PonderEd, all about study methods to be a master! -   - http://PonderEd.ca -
