Learning, Earning and Development

Once, my parents were living in basic needies and simple life. We all total 4 offsprings were grown up and looked after with their small income. They told us with deep inspiration that " where the learning is there the earning is". I thought at first, they want us to learn very well while we were young and we could make some smart earning one day. How badly was I wrong? Many youths from our country, either educated or uneducated, meet the same obstacle in their way to success; unemployment problems. Our country is a slowly-developing country and the ruling people are not thinking of how to make our natural resources in making country economically grow. The result is; we are stranded at certain learning levels and can't make ourselves our earning any better there.

The truth is bitter. Some of my friends got out of our country and continued their studies there. The only comment I could get is, "We are too late behind". Behind of what? Earning and improving lifestyle? Educational improvement and learning aids? Simply the development of other countries? Or of every facts? Possibly the last would be the worst to accept, but it is a truth.

The vicious cycle...... yes, that must be it. We lost ourselves in our own ways. We lost our younger period that would be the best for learning. We lost our courage that would be the greatest for facing obstacles while we were learning. Those lost things would lead us to lose our future; the future earning, the future development, the future ourselves. Many Economic Prophets explained about financial crisis which would drawn us with it's hands of octopus.

Well, our future is not as fragile as it looks, let me hope. I'm not sure we all could survive this crisis, but we've been through difficulties under Juntas' boot. Where the learning is, there the earning is. So, can we make our learning where we earn? With the effort to live under boots, why don't we gether the effort enough to get learning environment around us? I'm glad many of my friends get moving on their way even I'm not moving in pace.

Hoping the higher tide, I'm pushing myself for learning, earning, development and personal confidence improvement....
