Why there is an assumption that many "ENGINEERS" in India are not employable..???



Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

My Views :

       I personally feel every living creature in nature has it's own uniqueness. When we take ourselves into consideration, everyone of us has a special talent. Our duty lies in realizing that special talent that has been given to us, work hard and surge ahead in life towards success. And here, the role of parents, teachers can play a massive part. Then, why is it that some become successful and some don't,when all are equally gifted? Here is the difference. Consider the following example:

Example:

        Consider an young boy/girl who is exceptionally talented in Sports, Painting or something other than academics. The irony of our system is that you will be touted successful only only if you prove your worth in academics and I mean only in academics and nothing else in most of the cases. The problem with the above case is that the boy/girl who is talented in sports, painting, dancing or singing...etc has to sit in the same class with the boy/girl who is talented in academics. So, naturally comparison starts and judging of individuals takes place. The boy/girl who needs to be judged based on his/her talent in the field of his/her choice is being judged on academics.

                              What deadly sin are we committing?

            The special gift of that particular boy/girl is being sacrificed for the mere lopsidedness of the society. How can the society(parents) force young minds to take up something which is out of their interest? Most of the students who sacrificed their own interest get into engineering because it is not costly as a medical course and these days with the schemes that are present in each state it is not such a difficult thing to become an engineer. This is the reason why there are more engineers in our country,and studies reveal that only few are employable...And the society comes around to question them?? Why are you not good enough?

And that's what happens when you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree rather than judging by its ability to swim.

How can we expect substance when most of them are studying for the society, sacrificing their own interests?? Who is to be blamed??

As far as possible children should be allowed to pursue their goals in whatever field they choose, and only then India can produce more efficient Engineers, Doctors, Sportsmen/Sportswomen, Dancers, Singers, Painters, Artists...etc who can make the country proud!!

There may be some exceptions for all the things I mentioned above, that said, basic education is a must for everyone.

And finally...

              Understand the UNIQUENESS of every individual on this earth.
                              They are special in their own way...!!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT "SATISFACTION" IN LIFE....!!!!!

Where does satisfaction end? Does it have an end? What is true satisfaction......?

              Today the most difficult thing is to see where the end of satisfaction lies. The feeling of satisfaction for different people is at different levels and for some it is beyond any known boundaries.

           For example, a person who earns Rs.10,000($), he is not satisfied with it and  wants to earn Rs.20,000($) and a person who earns Rs.20,000($), his satisfaction level will be much higher and it goes on, but at the same time there are many friends who are fighting it out to get a job which will fetch them Rs.10,000($) per month and if we go down a bit further we can find people who are struggling to have food at least once in a day. Somehow, if they can find food to fill their stomach, they are happy and satisfied.Thus the degree of satisfaction clearly varies at various levels of hierarchy. 


             But when it comes to money, the degree of satisfaction is never constant and never ending. Isn't it? I don't mean to tell that we should not have higher aspirations to reach the top and to earn money. I am just trying to highlight the current situation and the things that people are missing in their relentless pursuit of money.
      
                Does satisfaction lie only in earning huge bucks?? 

                                    Does it lie only in costly cars and rich life? 

                Did satisfaction become a synonym for money or has it become a proportionality to money? 

I feel earning money and leading a comfortable life gives us immense satisfaction, no doubt, but Should we limit it only to earning money?

                As all of us know when we leave this world nothing will come with us and neither can we take anything...But in the process of earning money aren't we losing time to make memories? 
               As I move on in life, I get a strong feeling that memories are the only things that hold a strong place in my heart. When I look back, the marks that I have scored, the prizes that I have won, give me happiness to a certain extent but they are not the priority when it comes to my satisfaction. The time that I spent with family, relatives and friends at various levels of my education and life gives me immense happiness and satisfaction. In fact, I see many people who are earning really well but still they aren't entirely happy with their lives. They feel they are missing something even when they have everything in terms of comfort and luxury, and some call them memories. And by the time they realize this, sometimes, it becomes too little too late.

           We should work hard no matter whichever profession it is and earn sufficient money to look after ourselves and our family. In the process of reaching there, we should try to make as many memories as possible because those will stay with us when we leave this world.


             If we can do that,then our soul will see the heights of absolute satisfaction....!!!
