Believe in doing good!

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

Wisdom, Knowledge and Education vs Religion

Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!

--Abigail Van Buren


Wisdom, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping, and the Piper!

Knowledge, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping, and the Piper!

Education, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping, and the Piper!

That may explain the cost of education nowadays as the pipes are getting longer and become very complicated.

The Pipers are working so hard to sort out the various pipes, colour coding them and try to match a unique pipe to a unique learner.

On top of that, water, though inexpensive, is not free in most countries now! Hence, if you are willing to learn and can learn by self study, it will cost you very little beside your time and your effort.

If you cannot learn it through self study, you have to pay the school fee, additional tuition fee and other fees like transportation etc...

Believe

I was brought up to believe that a person must be rescued when drowning, regardless of religion and nationality.
