           Modern India is developing fast. The country has opened its doors to
     multinational companies. So it needs an educated work force. Which knows English.
     Many educational courses are conducted exclusively in English. Many books, journals,
     manuals etc. are published only in English. The competitive examinations onthe
     national level in Indm are conducted in Enghsh. So one has to master this language.
     The knowledge of English has become the need of time.

           You are what you think you are. You feel what you want to feel. Do you
     frequently hear yourself saying or thinking 'I can't ?' If you say or think in this
     manner, you will soon believe it. it will become a self fulfilling prophecy and you
     will feel more powerless and out of control.

           Adopt turnaround mentality : BeIive in yourself and realise that you are a
     capable person. Give yourself positive, encouraging statements. If your goal requires
     a response or approval from others.

           You can sometimes feel helpless and out of control. Work 'at f e e h g good
     about yourself and become more self reliant. Seek help when you need it. There is
     immense power in positive thinking. Research proves people who have a sunny,
     optimistic outlook live longer and recover faster than those who are constantly
     worrying.

           Education is not an end but a means to an end. In other words we do not
     educate children only for the purpose of educating them; the purpose is to make
     them fit for life. As soon as we realise this fact we will understand that it is important
     to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life.
           In many modem countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that
     by free education for all - whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all
     the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free
     education for all is not enough :we can find in such countries a far large number of
     people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their
     degrees they refuse to do what they think 'low' work ;and in fact work with the
     hands is thought to be duty and shameful in such countries.
           But we have only to think for a moment to understand that the work of a
     completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We
     can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our
     streets and took the rubbish away, we would get terrible diseases.
