Imagine this, on a fine morning Mr. X is seen sitting by the porch lost in deep thought. His neighbour Mr. B, who is unaware of his plight, comes over to share the good news of his son being accepted at a foreign university.
“Hey X, my son got through the university he had been trying for!” said B. But Mr. X barely looks up. Mr. B tries again but in vain. Finally he walks up to Mr. X and looks at his downcast eyes. They are full of sorrow.
“What is wrong? Tell me friend? Can I help?” asked Mr. B.
“No my friend B, my life is wasted! No one can help me now…” explained a morose Mr. X.
“It can’t be so bad! Tell me what is it? Maybe I can help?” said B.
But poor Mr. X couldn’t say any more. So what went wrong with him, you wonder? To begin with Mr. X never planned anything. He was a happy go lucky guy who took everything in his stride and lived life to the fullest each day. But life is uncertain as things change. What Mr. X did not anticipate were the rising costs of living. While enjoying his life he overlooked the money aspect and forgot that his bank balance would be nil some day if he saved nothing today. Worst of all, the cost of education during X’s time was nothing compared to the current era.
No one has to pay through the nose to get their children educated. Unfortunately for Mr. X, the cost of education kept on rising till the day he couldn’t afford it anymore. Sadly his children had to attend the local community college while his friend’s children made it to foreign universities.
Mr. X could not fathom that the cost of an MBA which was a couple of lacs few years ago, would be 40 lacs plus now!
Sad, right?
So where did Mr. X go wrong?
Can you tell us how Mr. X could have avoided the situation?

ReplyDeleteCreativity is a blessing from nature but we can develop it by careful planning through education. This is all the more important in a country like USA where we accept even the mediocre to contribute their best and create something new.
Hence, it is necessary that parents and teachers provide healthy conditions at home and the school. This would enable children to express themselves and contribute something new for the society, which may be termed as creativity……….
