Do You Think That There Are Useless People All Around?

Regardless of whether you have a firsthand experience or an indirect one, you may have concluded that there are useless people in every field. This conclusion clearly shows that you firmly believe that you belong to a select group of the elite or intelligenstia. Experts do not approve of such thinking. According to them, no person on this planet is perfect. If you consider imperfect people useless, it is absolutely imperative that you should immediately do an introspection. You may have several negative habits or behaviors, and so, there is no use in pointing fingers at others. The corollary to this is that you cannot correct others' behaviors. The only course availale to you is that you have to make amends to your ways. But unfortunately, there is no napalm that can quickly help you dispense with your negative habits or behaviors.

What Is Literacy?

There is a common belief that those who can read or write are literate.  This is perhaps the reason why we come under the influence of the fallacy popularly known as the Lake Wobegon notion, according to which those who possess high academic qualifications or read or write well have great skills. But if you look around, you will come across several successful people who have not attended Ivy League educational institutions or do not have high-sounding college degrees. This forces us to rethink and redefine literacy.  Even those with high qualifications seem to love non-challenging, normal environments. If they are subjected to challenging environments, they panic. In other words, when the question of facing challenges arises, they are just average. On the contrary, illiterates or even laymen may tackle tough situations with ease. This is not to undermine the importance of acquiring high qualifications or skills . So, the question now is: What is literacy? If you face a t...
