Education- how to really be interested

Education, i believe is the most important thing to pursue and take serious after your religion.But however it's undoubtedly the most pain in the ass thing to do- again after your religion. And as most of us have asked ourselves the question to why this hatred towards education phenomenon exists, we rarely do come up wit an answer that is satisfying to all the human race. And no one can deny the fact that an answer to this is crucial for the development of a human being at an individual level as well as being productive for his society, country and the world over all.

The reason to why this disinterest in education exists is for allot of reasons. The to cure this problem lies in the identification of the reason and then critically analyzing it which would then lead to a solution that is applicable and would result in a change of attitude. However it is quite noticeable that this hatred for studies and education exists only at a certain age, usually the youth and the schooling period.

If you find someone who loves his/her job their whole outlook to their life and career, they can be a great motivation for you to be interested in learning more about what they do. Surprisingly you can get interested in things you thought were not even worth considering. Similarly its how practically you apply your discipline is what can motivate the students to learn more. the students feel that what they are being taught everyday in a class of not less than 30 students, for 5hrs is something that is totally useless to them, when it is completely the opposite!!

in everyday life when one comes across someone who seems knowledgeable about even the tiniest thing is interests us human beings, because we are made as curious creatures who like to know more and are inquisitive about everything, but we fail to realize that that same person who's enlightening you about that particular topic has also educated himself either in school or by using the resources he had in order to satisfy his curiosity.

so basically the key to get anyone interested in studies is to highlight not the importance of it in way of their career but in it's practicality in everyday life. it's based on a simple theory when someone is investing their time in learning a game they also want to play it!!

The other forgotten necessity (article)

The other forgotten necessity.

Todays is a fast moving world, where life is becoming a burden and every movement made is right along with the hands of the clock. But being a part of this jungle, not only are we forgetting the main purpose of everything we do,but are also unable to realize that there are actually more important things we ignore while in this quest to perfection and achievement of goals.

It is very common for one to ignore their family and friends, spending extra hours at work,or with the college activities or education. Living away from home is a common phenomenon and is encouraged as well for a better and stable future. But as human beings having one goal set we tend to neglect the fact that there are other things that are actually more important than that extra client you'd arrange a meeting with, or that extra hour in the library you'd spend pondering over material of no use. We tend to embrace these plastic dreams and these goals at the cost of (maybe not intentionally) losing our loved ones. And sometimes those people themselves don't realize that effect caused by this behavior of the busy person on them, but this effect is undeniable.

The commonality of one missing their parents' funeral, or their siblings going through the roughest time of their life at the hospital is not new. But as people who claim to love their family members and friends so much, it is our responsibility to pause our lives, take a deep breath and really think, and figure out if this is the way we chose to live?. If really the satisfaction of work (or maybe not) given more importance than spending a bit of your daily time with the ones that actually do matter is the right thing to do. Its not their fault they cant do what your university, or that country you're living in or that company you're working in can do for you. But surely after achieving all that, wanting them back as though nothing ever happened after keeping them on hold for yrs is not the way!. If you by any chance even after that are expecting them to welcome you with open arms, well, then you're just expecting too much!. Time and distance can change things that no one can help, and the sad possibility is that you might even miss out on those people whom you were working so hard for for good. No one can help the way they feel, some of those people might have changed feelings for you.

Having an aim in life, regarding anything is good. Setting goals helps a person to be focussed and productively live his life. But it is important for one to keep in mind while working so hard on these goals (especially if you're living away from home) to keep in touch with family, be interested in their life, show love and express it, indifferences in relationships are caused mainly due to not giving enough time and support to the ones who need you when they need you. Wanting them to understand your life can happen only when you also make an effort to understand theirs.


All in all; it should be ones goal in life also to always do whatever it takes to keep those people that mean so much to you close,no matter the distance no matter the busy and hectic schedules,no matter the situations of your life because they are merely excuses. Them living their lives; wanting you to be wanting them is not the way.

Never should one underestimate the loss caused by losing of their loved ones, if you truly love them don't ignore them, because the misconception that they should be the ones who should understand your life and be the ones who should bear with you while you are in the process that usually lasts for a long time has to be taken out of our minds and thrown away. Because that is nothing but impractical and selfish, life is to small to have them bear with you because you are way too busy. And in the end of the day you might just end up the loser, who's gained everything material, but lost his/her people in the process.

A baby or an adult

A baby or an adult

you see I'm in my early teens
and piling up in a stack are my needs
sometimes i think I'm completely crazy
but i really wanna be a baby
i would sleep where ever i wanted
and whatever id do id be noted
for i would be the centre of attraction
and people would wait to see me in action
i may just be lying on the bed like a fool
but imagine how much it would be cool
for i would have no worries nothing to think about
no school no studies and not listen to my parents shout
i would have no tension no responsibilities
not that i don't face the reality
but anything i would give to be free
'cause i really don't wanna be a tree
i wanna be the innocent one, the small one, the cute one
whose life for years would be full of fun
well, that reminds me that this baby will grow up.
So why not face the challenges now made up?
so why want to go through the pain again?
maybe life would be sicker then
at least i know i Had a good childhood
years also to go through it took
so i guess I'll continue with what i am
'cause anyway being a baby is not what i can!!

Complicated

Complicated

Why do things have to be so complicated?

Why is there wrong and right?

Why cant there be no worries?

why is there false sight?

Why couldnt life be clear?

Why is there always pain?

Why do we have fear?

Why is life such a game?

Why do things change so fast?

is it really necessary?

why do we get so lost?

is this the way it's meant to be?

Why do we not stand up for ourselves?

is hypocrisy a part of us become?

Why cant we answer the 'why's'

why cant we just get some rest?

Why can't we ask for help?

Why can't we trust anyone?

Why can't we take control of our lives?

is that asking for too much?

lonliness and stress are our new friends

pained and unhealthy are our souls

clouded are our minds

getting closed are all doors

It's too late to make it nice

i don't think its a choice no more

Whys is it all so complicated?

why has life become such a bore?

Trust

Trust

you saw me walking on a lonely street

you saw the tears, that i was shedding

you looked and smiled, and said take my hand

you held me close and gave me a ride.

you promised love and allot of other things

you made me happy, u taught me to swim

you comforted me and gave me rest

you took me home but then just left.

you left me confused back on the streets

you left me with questions, cheated and deceived

you broke your promises, and were never mine

you ran away and took you're time.

confused i walk these streets again

the tears i weep leave a trail

trust is not a word in my vocabulary

i dont seem to understand tht word, and i'm not sure if i'm sorry..

are you ready to know about the world?? (article)

This is a typical morning of a 'sane' individual in today's world, these are the tasks he/she would perform:
brushing their teeth
having breakfast
getting ready for work or whatever
reading the newspaper or taking the newspaper along ( because you HAVE to know about the world don't you?!!)

Lets pause that persons day right there and just focus on the importance of reading the news paper. Why does one read the newspaper? to know whats happening around the world. what is a newspaper? a bunch of sheets that have the news of whatever happening across the world printed on them. These are the only reasons to why anyone actually purchases these black and white printed sheets of papers with world news filled crap in them. But have you once asked yourself whether if you are prepared to know about the world? or whether if you know yourself well enough to be bothered about the issues of other people and the world?

Yes you read right! and i see you're sane because you have decided to continue reading on. This is what i believe the only person who has the right to read the news paper and acknowledge himself about the world is a person who knows himself first, because that is more important than anything else. i feel its very wrong for anyone to pay to know about the world and actually give a very considerable part of their own time into knowing about everything but yourself!. Think about it.

If one would invest just that much energy, curiosity, time and money into themselves then they would be amazed at what discoveries they could make about themselves that they have taken for granted. The major reason to problems nowadays is that the people don't know themselves well enough to even judge their behavior, allot of personality problems or 'issues' could be solved if one took time out to just peep into their own souls and understand what sort of a person they are and focus more on their family, their neighbors, their religion and faith etc. this will lead to not only a satisfying introspect to one self but also a clearer vision of ones soul and beliefs and also that of their loved ones and the people who actually matter and should matter.

Its very easy to sit back every day with a hot cup of coffee and judge the lives and the doings of the people of the world, and gossip about them and basically waste your own time and also the time of the person who's actually listening to your long endless and pointless views after all these are the people you haven't even met, people who don't even know you exist. But only a real human being can sit and judge himself and find out a mistake on their part and try to better himself and accept the reality of his/her personality, which would eventually lead to a more productive life on an individual basis.Its important in todays time for one to be very well versed with their talents and capabilities because that is what would help them grow as a human being, which as we all know n endlessly preach is very crucial. Being aware of the world n totally oblivious to oneself is not the way to lead a life, that life is very plastic n unsatisfying which many of us may not realize, but that is the reality- a reality its high time for us to accept!.

being aware of what is happening in the world around you is a very important thing in today's world, you have to know how the earth is doing, how the other people in the world are surviving, how mean or how kind some people can be. But not at the cost of never knowing yourself and benefiting the people around you , the people who might not make the headlines of even the local news paper but will of your life and your heart!

The REAL Problem of life... (article)

The REAL Problem of life

Sometimes its amazing how you think you have the control over your life , when u just don't.Just when you woke up one Monday morning thinking 'today's my day, and it's going to be this way forever and that nothing can stop me from getting what i want' you realised that you were stuffing nothing but a bunch of motivational crap into your head!!.

And that's a fact a reality bite the irony of life that is true and everyone has to face it. the issue now is how to face it, and not crib. some people just cry, some people lose all hope and walk around saying things like "god hates me" or "why does my life have to be like this", some sing songs that you've never heard of songs you never imagined existed "how could this happen to me, i made my mistakes got nowhere to run..." K now wait there's a genre called blues but this is down right crappy. And then there are the cursers, you can be totally surprised as to their knowledge of fowl words and damn the languages i say its a talent, and there are two types in this category:

1. the whisperers- they wont say it out loud but will lip sink their way to hell they sound like this with a lot of mouth shaking " , ....... ****** !!!!! ".yes that's the way they are not to forget the beautiful expression of total patheticity on their face.
2. the loud mouthed weirdos- they don't care about who is listening to them or what they're thinking they just want to get over their sad day or days or months or yrs by just walking around expressing their feelings they go like this, "what f**** is wrong with the f***ing world bloody stupid b****es in my life and them dogs who just can't f***ing f****, f**** them bloody, ass****s, beeeeeeeeeep" (its difficult putting such tiny stars n keeping a count of the letters)

That was a brief description of the more darker sided people and then there are the humorous people who just wont stop laughing when tragedy knocks on their door, they just want to laugh with minor tears, mild depression, a few bad words here and there, and here's the best part the icing of the cake the sarcastic commentary of their life. "no i wanted to have kids na! i was bloody born to have kids wanted 1 just one how many did i get 3 and that too all together with no installment bloody f***ing hell, how excited am i!!. I'm sure god is very happy he wanted to gift me with three oh lookie my smile the smile of the millennium!!" mind you this is all said breathlessly which makes the people hearing the story enjoy it even more!!! ( oh common admit it you love it when people go that crazy)

The problem is still not those people, the problem are these ironic situations of life, but then again just knowing the problem is a problem in itself, the solution is what we are supposed to be looking for. Half the reason to the sad lives of people are that they don't think finding a solution is the key to happiness rather than just sitting and cribbing over the same issues and pouring your heart out to other people.( who by the way if u haven't noticed, are going through the same things!! and wouldn't care less about you!!)

Then what is to be done? simple, find out whats actually bothering you, and start analyzing the situation and see if there was any (even the tiniest) fault of yours, and if there was then get a life and stop blaming the world for what happened, try to work on yourself and soon you'll feel good. No point trying to take revenge when you yourself are at fault. Trust me this works because everyone makes mistakes and its always easy to blame the other person for whatever happens. But if one tries to perfect their own character and thinking as much as possible you can a much happier life, because every time you make a mistake you will also improve and that is a blessing in itself.

So stop crying over the pathetecity of life, grow up and look at the brighter more mature side of life,relationships , work or whatever the hell bothers you so frequently.

The Negative

The Negative

Sometimes its better without the light on
Darkness doesn’t care
Of what you’re feeling
Or how your day has gone
Darkness doesn’t care!

Meaningless words need not b repeated
Meaningless life need not b liven
Negative is positive
Sad is pleasing
Happiness unwanted
Smiles deceiving

Take my hand they said
Hold on!
Don’t let go.
But what if u want to Be left alone?
Left in your sad world
Left to be free
Left a dead soul……..

Death can be fun
Because there will be no life!
Death can be fun

No need to roll no dice!

Syeda Fatima,17

sometimes....

sometimes....

Sometimes its better to shut the fuck up
Keep ur opinions to urself
Try not to work ur thought into words
It causes unnecessary hate

Sometimes its good to lie
Healthy I must say
Who knows what future has for you
Its better when it’s fake

Plasticity in the atmosphere can be nice
It’s all about looking from the right angle
Everyone appreciates nature
But everyone also appreciates property.

I want to fall in love again......

I want to fall in love again

I feel good today.

a today that came after a long time,

life suddenly seems perfect too

i want to fall in love again.

The flowers seem to be pretty,

beautiful after a long time

their smell suddenly seems perfect too

i want to fall in love again.

The sky is clear,

crystal after a very long time,

the clouds seem to be perfect too

i want to fall in love again.

The smiles are genuine,

bright after a very long time

every mood seems perfect too,

i want to fall in love again.

When words never said are spoken,

when this dress looks pretty now!!

thoughts seem to untangle themselves

no one seems to be down,

all thats needed on this perfect feeling

is another strong feeling i've felt-

i want to fall in love,

i want to fall in love again.....

SCRIPT

I wish life was a skit,
With props, and costumes and a script.

I wish we would all have dialogues,
All prepared by the lord.

We would speech them eloquently,
Like they were practiced with no mercy.

I’d never feel bad for what I’d say,
‘Cause it would all just be a play.

I wouldn’t think twice before any action,
‘Cause to me it wouldn’t matter- the reaction.

Everything would be right,
The murder, the tears, the mothers plight.

For we would be actors, and the world a stage,
And no matter what we’d be on the same page.

A scripted life would be amazing,
Something planned, and appeasing.

But then again, this life
Would not have meaning only lies.

No true feelings, no true love
With everyone wearing their gloves.

It would be better bare handed
And leaving no emotions stranded.

Being true to oneself and ones soul
We would be happy not playing roles.

Every word would then have value,
With much to share, our loves due.

We would say we love and cry,
We would say we hate n die.

A script is nice and fun to do,
But maybe in school times without a clue!

My world...

My world....

I want to take a vacation,

a vacation in heaven

where there's no such thing as a man

and no need for clarification...

I want to b alone

where no one has been,

i wanna b far

and not b seen.

I want to sleep forever

but not die,

i wanna b happy

but not overjoyed.

I want the world to miss me

and value my soul,

for all who've taken me for granted

and have always roared.

Imma be where i have to

the heaven my home,

where angels n me sit

in a building with a golden dome.

I want the sun to shine

shine bright on me,

i wanna feel paradise

bow down to me.

As i praise my lord

and he's happy,

i live alone in my world

ever so gladly...

Hope

Hope

I was told to dream,

to dream and never stop.

I was told to pray,

to pray the way i was taught.

I was told to smile,

to spread happiness.

I was told to cry,

to get rid of the sadness.

I smiled, i dreamt,

i prayed and i cried

to make life easy

and i almost died.

Feeling lost, feeling dead

I cried out for help,

then i was told to have hope

and I'm no more on my death bed.

The circle of the loser

The circle of the loser

When you’re walking in the darkness
And you see a light
Do you walk faster?
Or run back and hide

Is fear of the unknown
Taking over the world
Is the fear of the world?
Taking over your soul?

Do you feel you're blind?
When it's all colorful and clear
Do you feel you are sad?
When everyone’s near?

Is there confusion in your mind?
Is there any doubt?
Are you losing time?
And there’s no way out?

Is solution a word too hard to spell?
Are problems what you're most likely to get?
Is that your weakness?
Or do you want a test?

You say you want to know
Know why,
You want to ask
But you don't even try,
You know what you want
And you can’t deny-
You feel like a loser
All the time.

You’ve been surrounded all this while
In the circle of the losers,
It’s time you breakaway
And grab some power.
Stand up for yourself
Stand up and shout
Let your voice be heard
Clear and loud!

I used to be an optimist but im not anymore....

I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore….


Life is never the same
Nothing constant only change,
Life is different everyday
Sometimes sunshine sometimes rain

Sometimes I wanna fly
Spread my wings and soar,
At others I wanna die
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore….

People can change your mind
People can ruin your day
Some can make you angry and roar
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore…

Some days are way too bright
Some days are just a thrill
Some times are just right
Some times are just to kill

Looking at the bright side,
The other side, that’s usually not your side!
Can be easy and can be difficult.
Mostly it’s better with all of them open
Sometimes it’s better with those doors close
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore….

Growing up you thought
You thought it’d be easy-
To live every day
Even when it was cold and breezy.
But growing up you realized
What you thought would be easy
Was just unclear vision
And that you were, in fact crazy

But I held on to the good.
Always positive I hold.
But things change
And they bring a lot of rage
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore…

With no where to run
And nowhere to hide
I came out strong and bright
I came out to shine,
But it’s sometimes better to hide yourself
It’s better to be true to your soul
'Cause I need to be the optimist that I’m not anymore…….
