What is knowledge without application of it? Why are we learning all those academic terms, with so many subjects to digest ... only to vomit it out during exams. Then, we empty again. Are we hungry for more knowledge or are we learning simply because we are forced to?

Who are you to show-off how good you are in your understanding of Maths, boasting your ability to do those so-called complex questions, only to see that all those knowledge in Maths that you acquired has nothing much to do with your lives?

So what if you could understand the Van-der-Waals bonds during mugging your Chemistry textbook, only to realise that it has nothing much to do with your living?

Why would you need to show-off your string of 'A's in exams as we all knew too well that success did not build on those number of distinctions you obtained? Do you think ANYONE cares how many 'A's you scored in your SPM 10 years later? Then, stop bragging about your grades as those academic knowledge you have acquired will NOT help you anything much in your living?

And for those taking the Master-degree or PhD, do you think those so-called higher knowledge making them more educated than others? If there is lack of passions to learn, those paper qualifications will not help us to establish anything much in our real lives. If there is no applications of those knowledge, it will remain as ... yes, a paper-qualification, literally speaking. And those papers will not help you much in your living, right?

what is the point being educated-academically but given in our values? Where are those positive good values we all learnt in 'Moral' subject ... forced to study 'Moral'. It is a mockery of education system as we DO NOT being educated by getting those degrees, yet MOST of us rushing to gain more certs, more "A"s in exams .... yet it wont help much in our real living?

Without reflection on what we have learned, without application of the knowledge we acquire, without our commitment to learn ... education is merely getting those certs, living day-to-day ... being employed(hopefully with an increments with more certs collected), driving up the rat-race ladders ... sacrificing our values, in the name of SURVIVAL. Is this the education that we are applying in our real living?

To those who THINK they are educated, get real. It is applied knowledge, knowing what we need to know ... applying what is needed and continue to be hungry for improvements ... that is the journey of being educated. Without it, we will not have our own standings and no personal directions. We becoming the herd, the majority ... where being educated means getting those papers.
