Herd Mentality

I still remember the last class of my favourite teacher,Mam Soujanya.Now I accept that it was the most interesting class taken by her.This class has been divided into 3 articles.

1.Que Sera Sera2.Herd Mentality3.Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty

She said that there's a quality in everyone.Some may be good at numbers,some at literature some at creativity and so on.But God has distributed it equally in everyone.Now it's the herd mentality of the people that has made people fail in their life.A maths failure takes Maths as the subject just due to some personal reason or the herd mentality.

People here are herds of sheeps,where one goes everybody follows.So one sheep (I mean person) attempts the maths subject and everyone follows him,then why has people made other subjects,just to increase our grades in school.Success is equal in every opportunity,just the time matters.

And if you have chosen the right career for you, then the enjoyment you get in pursuing it is really something that cannot be expressed in words.

She gave an example of herself.Now she has taken the degree of Science,but she loved teaching English.She had a love for literature and wanted to spread it to the world.So she pursued a career in literature and started teaching English.She taught us so well that there are even crazy students like me blogging about her...and yeah,she deserves a lot more than it.

Now she has already taught in more than 7 schools across India and even have remained the Principal of the military school.And most importantly over all her life,she has lived it,not just bluttering out all the science text from a refresher and blindly checking the copies.She teaches English amazingly and even while checking the papers,she looks very carefully about the thoughts of the student.So it's all about choosing a career that suits you and your ability.

You can be a sheep and follow other people,or you can make your own way and get the inner satisfaction that some sheeps die for.Your Future is in Your Hands.

ur teacher is true. Every where where ever u go u will find this herd mentality. And believe me people know this, they r aware, but they feel they are helpless. They feel they cant change the system. I feel we really need to change this. But just by saying it, its not enough.U r doing the right thing. Atleast those who will read ur blog, they will come to know about it.

Thanks a lot for commenting Avanti.
It's true...people are helpless but it's always to earn less in a job you love rather than earn more (or nothing,in some case) in a job you hate.

Not only in case of jobs,but even a lot other things like fashion,everybody wants to wear a jeans and black jacket like that of Shahid in Kismat Konnection,make your own style man,live your own life.
