Be it western, Arabic or vocational education one has to acquire all or at least two, for the betterment of his/her life and many other advantages surrounding it. Education is so essential that one has to sake for it from the beginning of his/her life to the day of death. Materials are things we need to acquire also but its essences or being obscene about it is perilous – giving it more attention, or making it primary aim over every other things.

It is so pathetic that the acclaimed “jet generation” are more after material things rather than education. Sadly, those who aim at acquiring educational knowledge of any kind are too poor to finance it and by them are no helpers to cater.

Been a materialist, their foremost thinking is about the latest sort of luxurious goods – clothe, phones, shoes, bags etc – which most of them do not have the money of acquire it. Seeing them hustling tirelessly you will, in your thinking, thought that they are up to make changes in their own life but, no, they are only on a mission to acquire the latest luxurious goods, whereas they are living miserable life within them, and are living luxuriously to attract public attentions.

Why not put on what you have and attract public sympathy, and possibly be help? Why don’t you, for once ignore those who called you all sort of name and move on your life? Remember you are not being feed by them! Why can’t you stop living a ‘fake life’ and see helper quickly? Don’t you know that with what you are putting on people will think you need no help? For once just try and live the life of who you are.

Training to acquire knowledge may be hectic, wild, frantic, tedious or even boring, but why can’t you take to the word of that notable late boxer, Muhammed Ali, who said: “I hated every moment of training, but I said don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion”. Without suffering success can’t come, no matter how little the suffering would be. So, to suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion can be achieved now, with young and smart brain of yours. Try to live your today, even with that paucity and in the penury you to sake for education and in the long run you will live in luxurious you think of.

Struggle, don’t stop.
Wade with all strength;
Through the ocean of obstacle to achieve greatness
Desist from it now, the mentality of materials
Don’t be desperate in achieving that, which is just luxurious.
Be a goal setter;
Not just a goal setter, but a goal achiever.
Be a dream chaser;
Not just a dream chaser, but a dream achiever.
