Something that most of us have pondered over at various times in our life. A lot of people have also tried to answer it in one way or the other, but I haven't yet found anything that satisfies my intrigued soul. The only conclusion I have been able to come to is, that we have a life and I think the only motive is to enjoy it to the fullest, doing what you really want to do. That being said, I don't understand the reason people choose to live with so much misery around.

There was an idea which said that we shouldn't have any schools and we should rather have places which facilitate the learning process. I think that we do need to have a certain structure to the education system. One thing that we can certainly change is that we can do away with the grading/examination system and a create an environment that is conducive to learning. Why do we want to force learning down someone's throat if they don't want to consume it. One argument that we can throw is that kids are not right to judge what is right for them. I have seen that lot of kids just hate school. I think one of the big reasons for this is that it is forced on them. But kids don't want to learn is a wrong assumption. I think they are more inquisitive than we adults.

Yesterday we had a meeting with our MD and someone raised that one should be told where one stands within a team, atleast a grade. Right now we have a system where one is just told how he/she is doing, where does one stand wrt to the entire team is not known. The MD passed the question back to the group how many people would like to know their rank/grade. A lot of people were comfortable not knowing it. I was myself not sure if I wanted to know that or not. If we adults can't digest our rank in the company, why do we impose that on our kids?
