शाळेतल्या विद्यार्थ्यांची शिकण्याची पद्धत ही हमालवाल्याच्या कामासारखी
असते. मुले पाठ्य पुस्तकातील माहिती ओझे असल्यासारखे डोक्यावर घेतात आणि
परीक्षेच्या वेळेला ती उत्तरपत्रिकेत उतरवतात. ही शिकण्याची व मार्क
मिळवण्याची पद्धत बरोबर नाही. ह्याच्यानी नुसती माहिती मिळते, ज्ञान नाही
मिळत. ज्ञान मिळवायचे असेल तर प्रयोग करावे. प्रयोगातून निरीक्षण करून ज्या
गोष्टी आपणहून लक्षात येतात ते खरे ज्ञान. प्रयोगातूनच नवे तर आपल्या
दैनंदिन आयुष्यात जे आपण अनुभवतो त्यातूनही ज्ञान मिळते. आणि हे ज्ञान जे
मिळते ते आपण हमालवाल्यासारखे डोक्यावर घेत नाही पण मातीसारखे पाण्याच्या
रुपात सोशून घेतो.

The Elephant on my Table
The elephant on my table,
As transparent as glass,
It has no price nor label,
And it doesn't require grass.
With a button on it too,
A yellow pedestal it has,
The purple thing when pressed by you,
A call it gives, merrier than jazz.
While on my table studying,
While on a problem pondering,
His bellow from the corner, in
Awakens my mind from within.
*लिहिताना काहीतर timepass म्हणून सुचलं*

Enrichment
Man was the one from the batch of animals who ranked highest among them. He enriched his life to make it more easy, dynamic and luxurious. But it simultaneously came at a cost, the cost of hard work.
For any living thing, there are needs. The living thing strives to fulfill these needs. The meaning of its life is just to survive and reproduce. Then there was man, who fulfilled his needs and decided to go further. Past his needs he found enrichment development leading to pleasures and luxuries. But how does enrichment lead to more hard work?
For a simple example let's take into consideration the enrichment of uncivilized man. At first when he had no tools, he hunted with his bare hands. Later to make his job easier, he started using spears and other sharp tools. To make such tools and maintain their sharpness, he had to do some additional work which added to his total labor. It sure did make his job of hunting easier and quicker, but he had to spend almost just as much time as he had saved during the hunt (or even more) to sharpen his tools.
As time prevailed he went on inventing and progressing, finding many more ways to make things easier ~ while simultaneously increasing the amount of work he had to do. You can imagine, if just sharpening and making a single tool takes so much time, how much time will other things like making a house, designing and building a car, making a TV, furnishing a coach etc in addition take.
As the modern times approached, the whole idea of man's life became working for enrichment. A renaissance or two passed by and he started earning his daily bread by enriching. He wanted to keep on enriching his life in the future, so he had to teach his children how to enrich their lives by confining them into twenty years of school. As time passed some more, he kept getting busier and busier until a time came when he was so busy enriching his life, he could not even set aside time for enjoying his enriched life. It was then he started to look back at what he had done. In the course of enrichment, he had totally forgotten about his 'real' home ~ nature. He had destroyed his home selfishly trying to make it a better place. It was then that he started to work even harder to preserve nature, taking the responsibility of his fellow animals in his hands. It is here that approached another renaissance.... one which is yet to come.
