Its all about Money.....

People everywhere have been bitten by the money bug. Everywhere you look, money is the king. Knowledge, education and even morality have taken a back seat. The person with the big bucks is more respected than the PhD. graduate who may have worked even harder for his knowledge.

Even more disturbing is that this trend is becoming a norm pretty fast. People have started to think of education as secondary and nearly worthless and a waste of time. They are inspired from success stories like Microsoft and Google, but forget that these companies are works of masterminds and technological wizards who possess uncanny business and technological abilities which they acquired through years of hard work. Even they agree that there is no substitute for knowledge and education.

The current economic slowdown has also contributed to this trend. People everywhere are trying to find some sort of secondary income and so they start up with their online stores and some other things like that. In the midst of all this, it is knowledge that suffers.

Knowledge and intellectuality lead to monetary plenty, and not the other way around. Hence no one should place importance to money over knowledge and education. Without knowledge, any civilization cannot be rich in any sense of th word.
