there is a big problem in the education system in America. i am not
sure about other countries. this modern education system teaches
u how to be a doctor, physician, lawyer, engineer, scientist, etc. they
teach u by becoming those guys, u will make lots of money and u will
be happpy. they do not teach u about:
1) paradox of life and happiness
2) financial education
3) studying, reading & learning
4) think, reason, decide, imagine & dream

and everyone wants to be happy, thinking that by being those people,
they can be happy.

we all want to be happy. on the other hand, we all know the things
that make us happy. but we don't do those thing. why? simple. we are
too busy. too busy doing what? too busy trying to be happy.

because the education system does not teach 1 & 2, and parents did
not do a decent job in educating their children; what u see right now are:
1) divorce, separation
2) bankruptcy, bad credit report

a lot of us gets confused with studying, reading & learning. when u go
to school, u spend a lot of time studying. to study, is to pass exam with
flying colors. to read, it's more like for leisure, light reading, read
magazines, newspaper. and to learn, is more like to read during leisure
and to learn something. to learn is a lifetime process. everyday we
learn to be a better person, to be a person of integrity.

in addition, these elements (think, reason, decide, imagine & dream)
are important to us. it is us!! without these qualities, who do u think u are?
u will feel.....hopeless. we need HOPE in our lives for HOPE is a beautiful thing.

do u know what is the difference between us, the homo sapiens and the
animal kingdom? do u know why we are on the top hiearchy of all the
living things on earth? that's because we have:
think, reason, decide, imagine & dream.
