Intellectual skills are essential in this world for the progress of mankind and being humans, we have a tendency to move forward on the path of development but of what use is that intellect that does not follow the instincts of the heart in benefitting our fellow humans and making our contributions to society? We can say that heads drive the world but the heart drives the head itself. If your heart allows something, your head will come up with numerous ways of achieving it. They are mutually dependant on each other for any productive work. We need big heads to move forward but we need bigger hearts to help us move forward in the correct direction. Our society today is not only in need of computers but in dire need of compassion. Without the use of our hearts, we humans are not very different from the machines that we work on.
All our educational institutions have been working hard and introducing new ways to enhance our intellects everyday. They are doing everything to develop our brains but what about our hearts? Who will train us in having a better, bigger and wiser heart? The problem here is that on the one hand where we are desperately being forced to improve our mental skills, we are being left on our own for developing our emotional quotient. Cultural activities and extra curricular activities are instrumental in making students emotionally balanced to a certain extent since students learn to work in a group, savour the fruits of hard work and success as well as learn to accept and appreciate failure. But we find that these alone are not enough. To develop compassion and a sense of unity as a citizen of the country children need much more. They must get a chance to witness the living conditions of the different sections of society and not just be confined to their own well being. There should be increased interaction among the students from all strata of society so that each one understands the needs as well as aspirations of the other. These should be introduced right from a very tender age to ensure maximum understanding. On a whole, children learn what they see; hence if we want the future generations to have unity, benevolence and patriotism, we must create such conditions today where these values flourish.
We have created a pool of people with big degrees but tiny hearts. In every field we find big officials indulging in bribery and criminal offences. Why do their hearts allow them to continue with such practices? Isn't there the courage in their hearts to go against the tide and protest against it instead of following it? We expect a good education to not only provide us with a sound mind but a sound heart as well so that we can curb these unlawful acts. At last we can say that it's the people with good hearts who will ultimately make our country a great one since they are the ones who are concerned about the nation, they think about conserving our natural resources, don't support corruption in any form.

its a nice topic to consider.
you are absolutely right and u have selected the perfect topic on which discussions can be made and when further actions would be taken ,will then benefit the society very much.
As it is in todays world there are many people who have excelled a lot in their educational fields but then due to narrow thinking n small hearts they have used thier educational skills in wrong direction and have harmed the society a lot
take for example of bin laden he has studied so much but now where is he using all his skills. and there are many more in India itself if we see so this should be removed which can be done by us
we are the future of this country and we are the once who has to prevent it from bad things and make it bright and pure
Thanks Brinda,
We request you to get yourslf involve in further action programme.

To get big head is much easier in comparison to get big heart. What is the use of money if it is not invested. What is the use of that head if it has not brought smile on a single face and that is my suggestion plz don't spoil ur big head!
I completely agree with whatever's mentioned. I think education today has become a means of gaining a profession in life rather than an enlightenment of the individual. Today even educated people commit crimes and all and that makes me wonder whether they're really educated. As educated people we must behave responsibly. It is not just our academics that make us eduacted, but also our moral values.
Rightly said,"A true human is one who possesses the qualities of head and heart".In today's world,there are people who have a good IQ but a poor EQ.As a result,they become corrupt and want to earn money by any means.To instill moral values in them, we need to create a good environment and impart quality education to the coming generations.
