More to Life Than Paper Qualifications

Thanks Zandi458, i want to discuss about this to day wait for my discussion ok.

I will be away for a week to attend to my keroke business some 60km from where I am and there is no access to computer. I'll check out with your discussion when I'm back.

Hi H2hydrogenz, I see that you are doing well and have got the papers people are aiming for a better life. Ofcourse there is no limit to learning. The more learned a person you are the better. My son has completed his first degree and is working in a French company. I did pop the question of him furthering his studies to do his masters but as he told me he wants to gain some working experience before thinking about his masters. I respect his wishes afterall experience is the main criteria in a technical profession. He is a geophycist. All the best wishes in your future undertakings.

Parents should mould their children in every aspect of life and not pressure them to excel in their studies. Not all children are academically successful, we should recognize children with their inborn abilities and make them feel that they are important. In order to this, parents must let go of their self-interest and accept their children as they are. Through this, they will gain the confidence to pursue and develop their latent abilities. Children like adult want to feel great. They want to be useful, valued, acknowledged and respected. Pressurized children take failures in exams as the end of the road and without parents giving moral supports they see no value to life anymore.

Great, you have proven that without college cetificates you can excel in your chosen field.

Not true being an honour student just makes getting some place easier adn the student that work hard get there too just take more work adn effort.

You mean without having one but hard works equally pays off. Ofcourse having a paper qualifications have an added advantage in terms of fast promotion, don't you think so.

If one is not an honours student, he comes unworthy of special attention, and if he ranks low, his is no good. On the other hand, honours students also live in constant fear lest they fail to uphold their status. Therefore, whether you are a top student or not, life holds no pleasure.

Who to blame, ofcourse is the parents who are too ambitious. The parents have a part to play on the child education. They can monitor their children's interest, guide and encourage them to pursue what they are good at and not harp on academic qualifications alone.

Parents should allow their children to go on their pace and not pressure them. They are 10 siblings in my family and my parents did not drive us to study so hard. We managed to pass our exams with flying colours and now we are all having good life to be proud of.

The strong believe that paper qualifcations brings prestige drives students to be very competitive and they are not equiped with facing failures. The task of transforming society starts at the individual and family level. Therefore it is better to change now before time forces us to change.

Exactly failure is not the end of life. I have seen people going bankrupt and emerge to be successful later on in life. Some people don't see the beauty of life beyound failures. I believe failures are stepping stone to success.

Rapid changes in this world has forced society to be competitive.

I don't dispute that paper qualifications is necessary to go up in the ladder of success in any given career but failing to get does not mean it is the end of struggle in life. The options are wide to succeed in life. We have to meet many failures before we become successful.

Of course there is a lot of learning that takes place apart from formal schooling, but I think it is a good idea overall. While they system is not perfect a degree helps other people to recognize your level of competence. It provides a way for others to compare your level of training.

Dont get me wrong I know the value of it, I was not disputing it just pointing out that experience is also a necessity and can make a big difference.

When you are a student you have the responsiblity towards your studies. Gain as much knowledge as possible to equip yourself for a better future. For only through education we can come out of the vicious cycle of poverty. If you are knowlegeable nobody can take away your wealth of knowlege. But by all means it is not the only thing that makes up our life. We also need spiritual knowledge to remain humble and level-headed. Those without paper qualifications can come out of life equally successful if they have made used of their abilities to earn a living. Ofcourse I welcome you to be in my friends list. Just press the button 'add as a friend'.

Have values and positive thinking it will bring benefits to life. Leave all your academic problems behind and stand for what you thing is right for you.
