Education ---Its Consequences And Impact On Culture.

In the narrow sense culture means that man-made social organization which promotes specific habits of thinking and living,specific habits of social interaction,specific ways of eating,dressing and living,religious and scientific belief and various material objects together with political and social customs,traditions and patterns of behavior  which cumulatively satisfy the needs of human beings.


Culture is that complex whole that consists of every thing we think,do and have as members of society.In each society,Culture is of two types: a)Material Culture and, b)Non-Material Culture.
Material Culture includes things of physical welfare and Non -Material Culture includes all those ideals, attitudes and values which modify the behavior of an individual.


Education and Culture are intimately and integrally connected.Hence, the culture pattern of society conditions its educational pattern.Culture is the sum-total of acquired traits.It is also a product of different entity.A culture is good if it has some utility to the individual as well as to the society.If it does not fulfill this purpose,it decays and dies out in the long run.Hence, one should see and adopt the cultural beauties and excellencies of all the cultures that exist in the world.Only this vitality and welcoming attitude can promote the development of world culture which leads to international brotherhood.The prime need of our society is the cultural integration.Education and Culture are intimately and integrally connected, hence, it may be safely asserted that the culture of a country has a very powerful impact on its educational pattern.This material influence is being discussed in the following lines.
When material culture develops at a fast pace due to scientific researches and inventions, non-material culture consisting of ideals, values and norms lag behind creating a gulf between the two. 


Education is the only means to bridge this cultural lag by its activities and pro grammes of development.


It is clear from the above discussion that whereas on one hand,education cultured an individual, on the other hand ,it preserves, transmits and develops the culture of a society. In short,education and culture are mutually interdependent complementary and supplementary in all their aspects and activities.

Where Are We Going ?

Where are we going? Sounds strange? Well, may be I can answer this question by asking another question.Have you ever noticed how a mountain changes as you approach it? From afar you see only a shape. As you come nearer, valleys and ridges appear, and later trees and rocks.When you come very close you can no longer see the whole mountain,but you see the part close to you very well. If you want to climb the mountain, you will do well to pick the best way when you can still see the whole of it.
Morality or the Moral Science is like such a mountain.We know that GOD made us, that HE loves us and wants us to love HIM so that He can Reward us.We. therefore must learn how to keep the right direction towards the top of the mountain.We have to always remember where are we going in life------towards GOD.Let us imagine that we carry walkie-talkie radios with us as we climb the mountain. We can  adjust our position and receive directions about the way we should take, and about what to do in difficult situations or when something goes wrong. Prayer is our 'radio communication' with God .Try making some short prayers. Think of something or someone , Write it down.Write after it in your own words,talking to GOD, how wonderful HE must be to make all this and how happy you are to know that HE has made it. Then thank God for it and ash HIM to help you make the best use of it.

It is the most important thing in life to know GOD.By knowing God ,we find out the reason for our life and the best way to live in. Morality again is the ladder to achieve  it.
Another way of looking at Moral science is to compare it to a picture. Moral science is like a picture that is already made, but only in outline.It has God and His Creations.A serious sin is like spilling paint over the picture. A small sin is like a stroke. It is not so  bad but it has to be removed. If we are so careless as to make many false strokes and not repair the damage, our picture will look very strange and abstract.Then we would we be in a very unhappy state. Moral Science will always be able to help us in our own way, and GOD, the master artist, will always help us by removing the stains, provided HE sees that we are really sorry and determined not to make the same mistakes again, I would like to conclude with the hope to learn what is true and right from the Great Science Of Morals and Of Course, GOD.

Life

Life is a pleasure,
Full of adventure,
Life is a race,
Which we have to face,
Life is a dream,
Flowing like stream,
Life is a battle,
At times may be fatal,
Life is long,
Fill it with a song,
Life is rough,

Fill it with Love.

Failure

Failure does't mean---that you are a failure,

It means---you have not succeeded.

Failure doesn't mean---you accomplish nothing,

It means---you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean---that you have been a fool,

It means---you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean---you have been disgraced,

It means---you were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean---you have wasted your life,

It means---you have reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean---you should give up,

It means ---you must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean---you will never make it,

It means---It will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean---GOD has abandoned you,

It means---GOD has a better way for you.

The Power Of Prayer

Before I start to express my personal view about the Power of Prayer,let us first throw a little light on what actually is Prayer.
Well, Prayer is talking to God with love and affection,often asking for things from Him and sometimes asking for forgiveness.If we are truthful with ourselves, we know that every day we do many that we should not do.It is not hard to make a list.Here is a beginning :being angry, telling lies(plenty of small ones), saying bad things about others,being lazy, forgetting to say our prayers, not thinking of what we mean when we pray or not thinking of God when we pray,not listening to our parents and elders, bossing others who are less than us,and wanting to have everything in our own way.
Whenever we do something wrong we do it against God.He made us to do what is right.When we do wrong it is because we do not listen and follow what God has told us to do.
Because we do wrong, we need forgiveness.And to obtain forgiveness, there is Prayer.In it we tell God of our love for Him and of our sorrow for having offended Him.We ask Him to destroy our sin and help us not to sin anymore.
We cannot deceive God. He knows if we really mean it when we say we love Him and are sorry for offending Him. He knows our thoughts when we are thinking of them.
We ask God for forgiveness through Prayer.We cannot expect to be forgiven if we do not forgive people who hurt, or offend,or displease us.That would be asking God to be generous when we are selfish.
If you practice forgiving small things, you will be able to forgive something big if there is need.And Prayer helps us to realize this fact.

Our Prayers need not be long.a short loving thought of God is better than a long prayer done carelessly or out of mere habit.
