Most Powerful Weapon : Education

 

True education is said to be achieved only when we learn to control our temper even in most instigating situations. If we still keep fighting with others on petty issues, and on the other hand boast of our educational status, then an uneducated person fighting with someone would look better because at least we have a chance to make him realise where he's going wrong.

Until the educated people remain together and stand for the nation, no external power can imagine of taking over us, irrespective of the strong weapons it may have. That's why "Education is a weapon, much more powerful than a gun."

Here goes my Poem on this theme...

One day when I was walking on the road,

I saw two boys there,

Slowly, even other people began to gather there.

One boy was saving himself while the other was beating,

One boy was simple and the other was frightening.

I went there to ask something,

One boy stopped but the other was hitting

with his stick and kept fighting.

One boy had a lot of patience,

While the other one's mind was covered with the fog of violence.

I asked the other boy if he was educated,

He replied that going school was the only thing he hated.

The first boy said that education is the weapon,

even more powerful than a gun.

Both the boys took an oath to get education,

And make feel everyone proud of their nation.
