Doubts, insecurities, questions about own ability, fear  of the world opinion, societal gossip and dogmas, constantly seeking approval for our actions and soon we cannot distinguish right from wrong, have  lost the ability to take action on our own and a muddled self emerges in the midst of an even more muddled world. It is a very familiar scenario that creates a doubt in our mind, so we should remind ourselves that Start by doing what is necessary. Then what is  breaking through barriers, freeing oneself from discouragement and fear are real everyday challenges, but once overcome it shows us how to enjoy a permanent  sense of freedom and liberation, and to excel to the heights of our fullest potential.  These days parents don’t hesitate to spend money on the education of their children. But do they bestow enough attention on what kind of thoughts and feelings children entertain during the schooling, what kind of habits they cultivate? Habits are initially like the flimsy fibres of spider’s web. But as time advances they become as strong as fetters of steel and hold us within their grip. Just a basic trust in goodness and a decision to become good are not adequate to make us good or to be free from all kinds of error. An individual will have gathered the habits, by the time she/ he is between twenty and thirty years of age, which are related to intellectual development and professional advancement. It is said the habits regarding personal hygiene, speech and pronunciation, gesture, emotional expressions, gait etc are formed even before a person becomes twenty years old. Having said these habitual ways of people, we feel sometimes that we always for amusement and feel excited about the fancy parties, longing for being modernity, as an undercover rebel, lost within ourselves with all those teen age like drama, are just matter of time and space we try to mesmerize and keep it as memories later on. Could we young realize how soon we will become mere walking bundles of habits, we would give more heed to our conduct while in the plastic stage. We are spinning our own fates, good or evil, it never to be undone. We seem to think that education is just acquiring the skills of reading and writing, but if we ponder over the way in which a child learns everything by imitation. Anything that we learn becomes our wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from us. Whether we learn it in a building called school or in the school life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not things that we learn are taught to us, but many things that we realize we have taught ourselves. So when our parents ask what are we supposed to do after high school…. We should say I want to be me, who wish to witness around and do things what is necessary, then  what is possible and suddenly I might feel like I am doing the Impossible.
