I Will Stand Up Once Again by Daniel Molagan

The rain drops pounding the ground,
As I amble across this secluded land,
Remembering the thought provoking fact,
That habitually proves hard to understand.

Life is meant to be a series of trial and error,
Failure, no matter how boundless, ought not to induce terror.

 

The calamities that befall us in our life,
Regardless of their atrocity, from loss to strife,
Are there to impart the knowledge of existence,
And remind us the importance of persistence.  

That no matter how many times I fall,
I will stand up once again and will not stall.

No achievement has ever been attained,
Or any trembling heart of love gained,
Without failing over and over again,
Till you be triumphant in the end.

Let us reform our educational system

If   we were to determine the most substantial element behind the functionality of the society as well as its long-term outlook, we would be pointing our fingers at nothing but the educational system. 

The current trend of instruction and its inadequacies

     It’s through this hierarchy of grade-based knowledge that many individuals discover their pathways in life, while the others lose the very sough-after clue that they were hoping to find as they entered the school. Whether you like it or not, the current educational system is robbing the students of their creativity due to its lack of flexibility, biased evaluation process that favors conformity, and typecasting all the learners in the same manner despite the immense dissimilarities among every single one of them.

     In a world where the so-called educational inflation, the process in which degrees no longer guarantee employment and the minimum requirements are rising from Bachelor’s to Master’s and from there to PhD, has changed the way we assess our workforce in a way that could ultimately precipitate the manifold stirs that are ensuing at the present time. 

     Global economic crises, insurmountable waste and lack of proficiency, increased level of fraud as well as crime, lower payments and salaries, monetary divisions, general lack of happiness, and most of all, uncreativeness that has led many nations into intellectual poverty are all but few of the repercussions of the aforementioned obsolete academic establishments. 

     Hence, it’s evident that our scholastic needs surpass that of mere evolution, and instead, demand a robust revolution within the composition of our educational systems from kindergartens to universities and in its entirety. 

     The following speech will address the urgent necessity of a reform in the educational systems all across the globe;              

The Rise of Women

The ancient conception that attributed a woman to being the second class citizen, the weaker sex, responsible for trivial matters, unaware of the economic, social and political issues, less thoughtful, and overall inferior to men, whether you like it or not, is but extinct.

     Welcome to the new world; the epoch which has brought with itself multitude of women who have proved themselves worthier than heaps of men. Embrace the new world that has seen many women as scientists, politicians, analysts, managers, astronauts, authors, trainers, and even presidents.

     Suffice to say that the feminist movement since the dawn of its establishment, has spread the message of unity and self-reliance among all the women around the globe.  

     We, now, live in a situation in which women in many parts of the world contribute to more than half the income of a given family, and being the sole breadwinner of the household is nothing uncommon for the ladies of the 21st century either. The role of women in our contemporary life-style by far exceeds what it used to be few centuries back.

     The aforementioned change in the attitude towards women did not come cheap however, many women, for years and years, persistently fought for their various rights, from suffrage, and guardianship, to equal pay and publicity.
