Education and Gratitude
I am thankful, and I’m sure my siblings are as well, for my parents insistence that learning is more than the exam syllabus.
No country has a perfect education system, simply because there are no perfect parents. Education is a parents reponsibility, I think. Learning starts when a baby is born, and ends when I lie on my deathbed. Education, to put it simply, is the love for learning. And who better to inspire children to become educated than parents themselves.
But we must take responsibility for our own decisions. And we cannot blame our parents for our shortcomings. Unfortunately, there has been a serious lack of willingness to take personal responsibility in Malaysia. That’s the tragedy and part of the malaise that is my tanah tumpah-Nya darahku.
