Loss of Wisdom

Nothing special today except for this speech on "Loss of Wisdom" that I heard during lunch time.

The speaker conveys how one should lead life with morality.He gives several examples and justifies why it is important for all us to be ethical in our profession and life.
I liked the following statement originally given by U.S President Barack Obama in his speech:
We must ask ,just not if it is profitable but if it is right.

The speaker emphasis on "Ethical Lessons" in schools and colleges. Education with ethical background teaches a person to respect oneself, their elders and teachers.
As we have been compromising on rules and regulation within our organization we are never given a chance to think if we are morally correct.

Giving incentive wouldn't motivate people to be moral, it has to be enforced from one's self attitude.

Immediately I started to imagine how would schools and colleges be, if there was no one to invigilate us during our exams. Would everyone be honest and write what they know rather than copying from others ? Would the students ground themself in character than worrying about marks ?
Would organisations hire people based on character than on merits ?

Looking forward for such changes in future.I am feeling very sleepy today.So keeping my content short.

  1. Our school had a mandatory "moral science" class for half an hour every day as the first session before any actual subject... But don't ask me about the content. We kids never bothered to listen the teachers as the stories will be too boring..

  2. I won't agree with Jeen. that again depends on each individual... atleast one of the stories could have made us to think a bit in those days...But I think he would agree the examination on this paper is the funniest thing we ever have...
