We are very familiar with the concept of general education where we receive academic and professional education right from our childhood onwards. But we have not gained much familiarity about 'the Power Education' that I am going to discuss here. Power education includes life education and life education contains many important areas of human development.
1. Health Education
The world is filled with people who are suffering from various diseases, which are curable and non-curable in nature. Why do you think people contract diseases of various kinds? What are they lacking in their lives? The obvious answer is health education. We have seen hospitals, clinics and other health centres mushrooming in every street corner of the city and number of doctors, nurses and physicians are increasing greatly too.
We have many doctors and hospitals, but we don't provide health education to 6 billion plus human population who are ignorant of various diseases. The government has no separate plans to educate the masses about the health issues. Who should be responsible for health education?
we are well aware of the fact that many people all over the world are falling sick due to negligence of their eating habits. The availability of fast and instant foods in every corner of the street makes people consume anything without much thinking and knowledge. The few regular errors in judgements cost people so much in health care expenses. People have to pay through their nose which they could have actually avoided if they had health education. Educate yourself about health and practice some good habits and disciplines. Do some regular exercises and meditation.
2. Financial Education
The recent recession has caused a massive damage to the human confidence and self-esteem level. People are jobless, broke and uncertain about their financial future. Why this crisis has emerged in the first place? It is only because of the lack of financial education. People are educated academically and professionally but they don't have any financial literacy to acquire financial abundance.
Lack of financial education has left people with no retirement savings and they are having the greatest nightmares of their life. If people had acquired financial education, they would have easily bailed themselves out. Having financial education is the need of the hour in this 21st century.
3. Spiritual Education
People are living their life without any purpose and directions. They seem to know everything and that they understand the origin of universe. People hardly realize that they are first spiritual beings in the mental and physical body. There is no adequate knowledge and understanding about the concept of spirituality. Having spiritual education will enable one to have all that one's soul desires. Think very carefully about the need of spirituality in your life.
4. Relationship Education
The divorce rate is accelerating all over the world in this century that from young couples to old ones are walking out of their sacred relationships. People are no longer staying committed and loyal to their partners. Each partner is cheating on their spouse that it seems in the first place these people should not have got married at all. These errors in relationship are occurring because of lack of education about relationship. The schools and colleges don't teach about life education, so the children don't learn anything about it. They only learn how to ditch one another after falling in love and when they get married they repeat the same habits again.
5. Mental Education
People's attitudes are either positive or negative but we will mostly find negative attitudes prevailing everywhere. There is no mental education as such and because of this people are not trained to think, imagine, visualize and understand one's operating system- the brain. They don't have the correct information about the beauty and magnificent power of human brain. Many people doubt their capability and ability to excel in life. If people acquire mental education, they can expand their reality and put on a new attitude to lead a happy life.
6. Emotional Education
Many people are either stressed out or discouraged due to lack of understanding of human emotion. People are never taught about the power of emotion in human existence. People must be taught to emotionalize the things that they desire to accomplish during their lifetime. I am sure, anger, fear, doubt, disbelief, lack of confidence, unforgiveness etc. can be easily controlled by individuals if they had been provided with emotional education.
7. Skills Education
Observe at the work place where people are working and busily doing their respective jobs. How many of them are fit to get promotion on the basis of their skill development? Again think of the graduate students looking for jobs, how many of them possess necessary skills to succeed and compete at work place?
There are few people who reach to the pinnacle of great success in life and it is because they developed their skills by gaining right education and information. Today all skills can be easily learned and acquired if people are willing to take upon themselves the self-education.
The aforementioned 'Power Education' are the fundamental requirements of this present time. The students must be taught about life education more than the academic and professional education if they really seek to succeed in life. Power Education is the answer to all existing problems in the world. Education solves the mysteries and provides necessary guidance, wisdom and ideas. So before you look for jobs, please acquire the 'Power Education' to empower and qualify you to claim your better life.
