where the mistake lies

Since childhood we were made to believe that if we do well in academics, we can get a job with a good salary and we will eventually be happy there after. So the entire purpose of education is just to get a job? And, Is happiness related to money? Can't we just do what we love? Where is the mistake? Is it the educational system or the society? Is it our teachers or parents or us? Whom should we please and why? Who will measure our success and why? Where are we running and why? Should we change or the system? And how?

MS Dhoni Announces Retirement From Test Cricket

We Miss You MS Dhoni - The Legend

No farewell matches like Sachin..

No emotional press conferences like Dravid..

He came out to bat today..

Bailed India out of trouble with his calm batting..

Managed a DRAW for his country..

Then, gave a SMILING Interview in the presentation ceremony..

Praised all his team mates for their effort in the test match..

Didn't uttered a single word about his retirement..

Then, walked away SILENTLY..

Inspirational Stories #176 - The Gift of Forgiveness – Christmas Story

The Christmas of 1949 we didn’t have a tree. My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose, so he wouldn’t just say that we couldn’t afford one.

When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year, that we couldn’t afford one, and even if we could – it was stupid to clutter up your house with a dead tree.

I wanted a tree badly though, and I thought – in my naive way – that if we had one, everybody would feel better.
