My economics professor Mr. A. S. Varaikan shared with us a very powerful thought today, so i thought of sharing. He said....
Imagine you are given a pen and told to write till the ink runs out but you don't know how much ink the pen has! The question is what would you write? Would you write craps or the most wonderful things that comes in your mind? I don't think anyone would waste the ink on writing craps but the most brilliant ideas. Take the ink for life and yourself as the pen. We don't know how long we shall live. Death is for all the living ones and we are the living ones . What are we doing with our lives, what legacy will follow us when we are gone? Are we doing anything for the betterment of mankind or are we being destructive instruments to the society and the world at large? Answer to yourself. If we are being destructive, well, its high time we change while there is time.
At the end he said....
All of you will graduate few years down the line and take up responsibilities in the society. I wish to see all of you doing something important and good for the betterment of the world around you .
Its not about holding high or important positions in the society because often the high personals are found doing the acts of lowest degree. Its about doing something(s) good, it maybe something small, for the world around us.
I dedicate this article to Mr. Varaikan, a true scholar, and all my other classmates.
