THE CATAYLST TO TRANSFORM EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR A BETTER AND HAPPY TOMORROW

There was a leading Chartered Accountant(CA), who was on his way to another city for an important professional assignment. While crossing the river, he had the following interesting conversation with a boatman: - CA : Do you know the provisions of the new companies act? Boatman : No sir, I struggle to fill my stomach. I dont know Co Law CA : One quarter of your life is wasted, if you dont know CO Law. The boatman heard this,did not react and continued to row the boat.

CA : OK. Do you atleast know some provisions of the latest Direct Tax Code? Boatman smiled again and said, No Sir. CA : Yet another quarter of your life is wasted if you have not learnt about Income Tax Act As the boatman remained silent and continued to row the boat, the arrogant professional asked, How about Indian Economy, do you know latest GDP figures? Boatman : No Sir. CA : One further quarter of your life is wasted because you are not exposed to how the economy of our country functions. The Boatman saw that the Educated Professional did not understand his position and hence continued to row his boat.

Suddenly, as the boat was right in middle of the river, the boatman realized that water was seeping into the boat through a hole. Immediately, the boatman asked the CA, Oh! Sir, do you happen to know Tarana Vidya? (Tarana Vidya is the skill of swimming). CA : Why? I dont know swimming. The boatman said, Oh! How sad – your full life is wasted. Thus saying, the boatman jumped out of the boat and swam ashore while the CA was left struggling for survival.

Friends we may know Accountancy, Physics, Botany or Chemistry. We may be master scholar of Economics, Maths or Literature. But unless we have the necessary wisdom,attitude and skills to cross the river of life which is full of uncertainities and challenges,we will never rise, shine and be happy in life.

Just as a gadget needs an instructions manual, the inner working of the human personality requires a code of values to guide and navigator to the path of excellence. Each one is endowed with unique ability and brings something special and unique into the world. It is our responsibility to tap the vast potential within and use it wisely and constructively. For this Educare is the appropriate toolkit and module to transform our innate abilities into exemplary deeds in the realistic world of action.
