Are we educated illiterates????

What is the meaning of education? Is it merely filling the brain with information???? Is that
mean completing a degree and achieve a high rank in society???is that mean using that
knowledge for money???

What does education means actually?? Education in the largest sense is any act or experience
that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its
technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its
accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.

An educated person differs from an illiterate through its values, manners, behaviour and
attitude. A person with high qualification and enormous knowledge, but no manners and living
skills, is considered illiterate. And a person with no degree and modern education, but has
manners and ettequetes to live in the society with dignity is seemed educated, although he is
not.

The true nature of a man is reflected in the way in which he behaves in different situations. The
human nature of a man is only skin thick, when you scratch the animal comes out. Animal
nature is inherent in all human beings; one who keeps that animal ’silent’ can be treated as
‘educated’.The main purpose of education is to literate that animal which is present in every
human being.

Mostly in Pakistan illiteracy is more than other places.Many people they are highly educated
but they got narrow thinking's and they act like illiterate people.That we call educated
illiterate.If any illiterate person enters in your life, your life becomes hell. Because you cant able
to make them understand what your trying to say.We should try to look forward towards
education and knowledge which makes us a human .We can have money by doing wrong things
but why we should do those bad things which never give you comfort and makes your soul
restless and unsatisfied.Thats why our first priority in life must be education from which you get
something.Usually illiterates are very short tempers and cracks.They loose their temper very
easily they don't know how to speak with others,They don't know how to survive.I recommend
that we should look forward towards discipline,faith,unity and towards education.

Today, the so called educated people think themselves superior than others. They treat their
subordinates as donkeys and fools knowing nothing. They degrade them a lot through their
achievements. Their graph of earning money increases rapidly and their hearts start shrinking….
The educated illiterates even break the law, they hate to obey the simple rules and have no
respect for others.
Mind building, which is the essence of education, has been watered down. The craze for
certificates has eroded the beauty in education. Creative thinking, which ought to be the focal
point of our institutions, has been sacrificed on the altar of education at all costs. “Go to school;
get the degrees and watch the money flow!” At present, our educational system produces two
sets  of graduates: The highly intelligent few with unusual mind and astounding ability. The
other category are those I refer to as the “confused graduates.” They reason like this: “I have
gone to school; Am now a graduate; Here is my certificate. Now give me a job!”

We have to be out of race of certificates… we have to be humane…should not be the bookish


literates …but we have to be an educated person….be a responsible… be a leader.

What all good things can the youngsters give(back) to the society? All the youngsters should ask
themselves the questions…. , how many people had extended their valuable service for our well
being? What we often do is to forget all these things and think only of climbing more heights
with lesser number of steps. It is our duty to take up the challenge to help the less fortunate
fellow beings.

If u think you are something, then share your knowledge with others…don’t be selfish…
Youngsters should shoulder the responsibility to impart the knowledge they have gained.

Social status, power, money, strength etc. can give temporary happiness but they can be lost at
any time. Youngsters should realize the fact that the happiness derive from selfless service will
have no bounds. For the youngsters the ABC of life should be ‘Always Be Cheerful’.
