Friends
When we were kids, as usual parents put us into education. In old days there used to be joint families and many children used to live together. Every parent used to dream that kids get good education, get some good degree and be a successful. Whenever kids get good marks they distribute sweets and feel happy. Then some kids study and some left behind. About 20% get good education and rest fail in between. Now those who got good education are forced to leave the place, find new job, struggle at various locations and by the time they become matured they are almost cut off from their roots. Even they would not be available in need because of distances . Similarly their kids would not be into strong bonding with original roots and gradually cut off from the basic place. Even when such persons who gone out feel loneliness and in need they depend on friends and neighbours.
Where as those who fail in getting good education are put into business and always remain within social set up. No dislocation, no struggle in unknown place, enjoy social ceremonies, functions and build good reputation in society where they hold the flag from the parents. Their kids continue to enjoy the same set up and reputation. And in most cases such people build bigger empire then those left in the search of job. I was just thinking who gets better deal? One who gets good education or the other ones. Sometimes I feel probably failure at the initial level is better than success. I don't know but this seems to be conclusion so far.
