There is a lot of talk in the media these days about income inequality.
The best remedy for income inequality is education!
Education builds skills which enable people to lead productive lives, and build value for themselves and their family. Contributing positively to society is also a direct result of leading a life of purpose and dignity.
We have all heard the Chinese proverb: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
I see too many parents pushing sports, dance classes, music lessons, art classes, etc., at the expense of education, and they do not realize how much damage they are doing to their children in the long run.
I can’t help but wonder if the epidemic of drug abuse and underemployment among our nation’s youth is a direct result of not enough emphasis on education.
I will leave you with one last thought on this matter:
Life is hard, it is harder when you are stupid!
Happy Easter to all those who celebrate!
