Essay: The Wisdom of Childhood

Essay: The Wisdom of Childhood


Outline: Wordsworth and the bible - wisdom - a divine quality - wisdom of childhood - wisdom of children analysed - conclusion. 


The English Nature poet Wordsworth believed that children are truly wise, for they are very close to Nature and God. The Bible again tells us that wisdom comes out of the mouths of babes, that is - little children.


Wisdom is a divine quality that we usually associate with age. The older one grows, the wiser is one supposed to be. But the wisdom of age is the wisdom gained from practical experience. It is the result of our observation of men and events, and also of painful personal experience. Men learn to be cautious and prudent as a consequence of the wisdom of age. 


Very different from this, however, is the wisdom of childhood. Wordsworth says that Heaven lies about us in our infancy, but the shades of the prison house begin to close upon the growing boy. A child is simple and natural in its tastes and habits. It is free from the artificialities of civilised life. Children love to be out in the open air enjoying the sights and sounds in Nature. 


Children also have the wisdom to appreciate the value of discipline. They know how to respect those teachers and parents who can quietly but firmly enforce discipline. They are wise enough to know who has a genuine liking for them and who  has not. They respond readily to affection and kindness, but they can be quite nasty to those who dislike them. 


A child's wisdom makes him have a strict sense of justice. Whether he is at home or at school, he does not like those who are unjust or partial to anyone. He is wise enough to be loyal to his friends. He is sincere and truthful in  his attitude. Diplomacy and hypocrisy are unknown to his guileless nature. 


As a child grows up, however, he comes in contact with undesirable influences and gradually loses the wisdom of childhood. As he grows more familiar with the civilised world he loses several of the traits that distinguished him as a child. It is a sad thing to see the wise nature of the child slowly but  surely replaced by opportunism, greed, hypocrisy and artificiality. A child be it a boy or a girl goes through the very same transition from childhood to adolescence and adulthood as far as wisdom is concerned 


Difficult Words: Associate: Connect, Consequence: result, Prudent: wise and careful, infancy : childhood, babyhood, guileless: simple, not cunning, traits: special and peculiar points of character, Opportunism: art, policy, or practice of taking advantage of chances especially with little regard for principles..


School Essay for Students.

THE QUALITIES THAT I LIKE MOST IN MEN (OR) MY IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN

THE QUALITIES THAT I LIKE MOST IN MEN (OR)

MY IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN 

Outline:Introduction kindness - courtesy - humour-unselfishness and helpfulness - chivalry -tolerance - sincerity and loyalty-conclusion


There are several qualities that make a man lovable. One of the most important of these is kindliness. Everyone appreciates a person who is gentle and kind. Kindliness springs from selflessness, a sort of consideration for others feelings.


Courtesy is another quality for which a man is liked wherever he goes. Rude and tactless people will be shunned and disliked. They will find themselves unable to make friends.


Humour is a quality which is not very common. A sense of humour helps to make life pleasant. No one can be humorous unless he is cheerful. Smiling and cheerful people are much sought after. They are like a ray of sunshine in people's lives. In their presence troubles vanish and the world becomes a better place to live in.


Selflessness and helpfulness are other qualities which I like and admire a great deal. The unselfish man has no thought to spare for himself. He works for the welfare of others. He goes out of his way to help people get out of their difficulties or to lessen their distress.


Chivalry is another quality which is admirable but rather rare nowadays. Chivalry makes a man defend the case of the weak and oppressed. In a world where might is right, chivalry is sorely missed.


Tolerance, or the quality which makes us put up with the defects of others. is also an uncommon quality. Fault - finding and criticism are very common So the tolerant man is as rare as a precious gem.


Sincerity and loyalty to one's friends are qualities to be much admired. Never allowing our friends to be attacked, either in their presence or in their absence, shows how loyal we are to them. Sincerity makes us straightforward in speech and action. We will not stoop to meanness of any kind. Lastly a strict sense of justice is an admirable quality. It makes us ensure that no harm is done, that no one is treated unfairly or unjustly, it will make us bum at the knowledge of injustice and we shall never be able to rest until justice is done to those who are wronged. 


To my mind, to be a real man, a thorough gentleman, one must necessarily possess each of the above mentioned qualities in good measure. 

Difficult Words: Kindliness - kindness, appreciation - feels that a thing is good. courtesy - politeness, vanish - go out of sight: disappear, admire - look upon with wonder and pleasure. chivalry - courage, politeness, generosity - character knight of the middle ages, tolerance - act of allowing others to think or act as they please, even when they seem to be wrong, admirable - wonderful. uncommon - Unusual. stoop - bend the body forward and down.


Essay: On Habits

Essay: On Habits

Outline: I was in conflict with a habit - an example of the tyranny of habits - advantages of habits - we shouldn't be their slaves - conclusion.

I sat down to write an article this morning, but found I could make no progress. I was writing with a pen - a new, excellent pen. Then it occurred to me that I was in conflict with a habit. It is my practice to do my writing with a pencil. Put a pencil in my hand, seat me before a blank writing pad in an empty room, and I am, as they say of the children, as good as gold. But here I was sitting with a pen in my hand, and the whole complex of habit was disturbed. The pen kept intruding between me and my thoughts. It was unfamiliar to the touch. 


The tyranny of little habits which is familiar to all of us is nowhere better described then in the story which Sir Walter Scott told of his school days. "There was "he said," a boy in my class who stood always at the top, nor could I with all my effort supplant him. I observed that, when a question was asked him, he always fumbled with his fingers at a particular button in the lower part of his waistcoat ... to remove it, therefore, became expedient in my eye, and in an evil moment it was removed with a knife. When the boy was again questioned, his finger sought again for the button, but it was not to be found. In his distress he looked down for it - it was not to be seen. He stood confused, and I took possession of his place."



There is no harm in cultivating habits, so long as they - are not injurious habits. Indeed, most of us are little more than bundles of habits neatly done up in coat and trousers. Habits simply the mechanism of life. They enable us to do a multitude of things automatically which, if we had to give fresh and original thought to them each time, would make existence and impossible confusion. 


But habits should be a stick that we use, not a crutch to lean on. We ought to make them for our convenience or enjoyment and occasionally break them to assert our independence. We ought to be able to employ them, without being discomposed when we cannot employ them. 


I happily had a remedy for my disquietude. I put away my pen, took out a pencil, and, launched once more into a comfortable rut of habit, I began to write with ease. And this is the (I hope) pardonable result. 


Difficult words: Supplant - take the place of, supersede. fumbled - feel about with the hands. expedient - essential from the practical point of view. discomposed - agitated, nervous.


Essay: Gifts

Essay: Gifts

Outline: A donation, a dole etc. are not gifts - nor are wedding and birthday presents true gifts - a gift must reflect the tastes of the recipient - giving gifts is a complicated business - the nature of a true gift summed up. 


There are gifts that are no gifts, just as there are books that are no books. A donation is not a gift. A portrait painted, a teapot presented by subscription, is not a gift. The true gift is from one to one. Furthermore, tea, sugar, and clothes are not gifts. If I bestow these conveniences on one old woman, she may regard them in that aspect; but if I bestow them on eleven others at the same time, she looks upon them as her right. By giving more I have given less. The dole is no more like the gift than charity is like love. A thousand rupee cheque on the occasion of a marriage is not a gift; it is a transfer of property. 


In fact, presents given or received on occasions like birthdays and weddings are not true gifts. In many cases, they signify not love but respect or convention. Secondly, a person receives too many presents on such an occasion. It is not within the bounds of possibility that a human being can appreciate more than, say, fifty presents at a time. As a lily blooming in winter, so is the unexpected gift. But the gift that arrives by tens and tens is a nightmare and an oppression. 


A gift - to be a gift - must not be asked for. If it is asked for it ceases to be an expression of love and becomes a commercial transaction. A gift should reflect the personality and preference not only of the giver but on the recipient. If I love reading, I should not present my friend who is a sportsman with voluminous books. 


It is a complicated business altogether. Three minutes of serious thinking makes it impossible for anyone to give anyone anything. Yet the deed is done every year boldly and openly, and few are aware that they have undertaken a more delicate transaction than the robbery of a bank in broad daylight. A true gift, then, is a symbol of love and affection. It is spontaneous, unexpected, rare, and surprising. It need not be spectacular and expensive. In many cases, the smaller, the more insignificant the gift, the longer it is remembered, There may be many motives for keeping the Golden Rose; there can be one for keeping a rose - leaf. As an ancient writer has said, "Great grace goes with the little gift, and all the offerings of friends and precious."


Difficult Words: Subscription - contribution. Dole - Food etc. distributed to poor people. 


Essay: Those People, Next Door

Essay: Those People, Next Door

Outline: People in cities do not know their neighbours - villagers known all about their neighbours - we tend to think ill of our neighbours - we must remember that we ourselves are neighbours to others. 

We who live in the cities all have neighbours, and for the most part 'thin partitions do our realms divide'. It is true that, however thin the walls, we seldom know our neighbours. If the man who has lived next door to me in a suburb of Mumbai for the last half - dozen years came and sat down beside me in a restaurant, I should not, as the saying is, know him from Adam. In this vast whirlpool of Mumbai he goes his way and I mine, and our paths are not likely to cross though we go on living beside each other. 


I do not know whether he is short or tall, old or young, or anything about him, and I am sure he is in the same state of contented ignorance about me. Our intercourse is limited to the noises we make with the piano, the radio, the television and so on. When he has friends to visit him we learn something about him from the sounds they make, the music they play, and the time they go away (often inexcusable late). But apart from that vague intimation, my neighbor might be living on Mars or on the moon. Perhaps some day his house (or mine) will be on fire, and then I dare say we shall become acquainted. But apart from such catastrophe as this there seems no reason why we should ever exchange a word on this side of the grave. 


It is not pride or incivility on either side that keeps us remote from each other. It is simply our way of living in a metropolis. People are so plentiful that they lose their identity. In villages and small towns a person knows all about his neighbour, his affairs, his family, his calling, and his habits. Neighbours commonly borrow from one another all sorts of things they need - newspapers, sugar, milk and so forth. This is not always so desirable as it seems. Village life can be poisoned by neighbours until the victim pines for the solitude of a city street, where neighbours are so plentiful that you are no more conscious of their individual existence than if they were blackberries on a hedgerow. 


On the occasions when we become acutely conscious of our neighbours, the temptation is to think ill of them. They always manage to be gay when you are sleepy. If they are not guilty of criminal waste, they can be convicted of shabby parsimony. They either dress too luxuriously or do not dress luxuriously enough for the decencies of the neighbourhood. Their habits and their friends, the music they play, the pets that they keep, the newspapers they read - all these things confirm our darkest fears. It is possible to believe anything about them - especially the worst. What are those sudden shrieks and gusts of laughter? Is there not an alcoholic suggestion about such undisciplined hilarity?


The truth is that we know too much about our neighbours, and do not know enough. They are revealed to us in fragments, and in putting the fragments together we do not spare them. There is nothing so misleading as half-heard and half-understood scraps. The curious thing about those people next door is that, if you ever come to know them, you find they are not a bit like what you thought they were. You find to your astonishment that they have redeeming features. Perhaps they find that we have redeeming features, too. For the chastening truth is that we all play the role of those people next door to somebody. We are all being judged, and generally very unfavourable judged, on evidence which, if we knew it, would greatly astonish us. It might help us to be a little more charitable about those people next door if we occasionally remembered that we are those people next door ourselves. 


Difficult words: Know him from adam - recognize or identify him. catastrophe - calamity, pine for - long for. parsimony - miserliness. hilarity - merriment. fragments - pieces chastening - which corrects us by punishing or humbling us. 


Curiosity - The Mother of Discovery (New)

Curiosity - The Mother of Discovery

Outline: Introduction - We owe our food and drink to curiosity - the sea - another field of human curiosity - education system - a spur to curiosity.

Curiosity, so the saying goes, killed a cat, and a cat has nine lives! But the cat's curiosity, to the best of my knowledge, has never mothered any discoveries. But human curiosity is quite different and has led to countless valuable discoveries.

Consider, for instance, the things we eat and the things we drink today. To satisfy our hunger we have a wide variety of palatable and nutritious cereals, an infinite variety of delicious fruits, an abundance of fish, flesh and fowl to suit every taste. So also to quench our thirst we have, apart from life - giving water, a host of drinks like milk, tea and coffee, not to speak of heady wines. All these we consume with pleasure and relish. But do we pause to think of their history?

Man was curious about the use of different kinds of leaves. Just consider how many different kinds of leaves he plucked, dried and brewed before he carved upon the plant, which today provides us with our refreshing cup of tea. How many different kinds of beans were dried, roasted and ground before he discovered the coffee and the cocoa plants! Similar was the story of cereals, fruits, vegetables, flesh, fish and fowl, insatiable curiosity bringing in its wake a process of trial and error which never ceased till a useful discovery was made.

To turn to another field of human curiosity - the sea. Undoubtedly, the sea - boundless, fathomless and mysterious - had a curious fascination for our early ancestors. We can imagine them standing on the seashore, wondering what there was on the other side of the water. As the years rolled on their curiosity grew stronger until at last they were emboldened to risk their lives and sail on the high seas in vessels which, compared with the mighty modern liners, were mere eggshells. Those were the days of the intrepid navigators like Columbus, Magellan, Vasco-da-Gama and Drake. These daring mariners brought to light the New World and other lands and dimes with people and cultures till then unknown.

The mother of all invention, namely curiosity should be kept alight as it were all the time. The effort of the education system among others should be to keep the students asking questions, burning with zeal to discover.

Difficult Words:

Curiosity - a desire to know or learn about an unusual and interesting person or thing. Palatable - delightful in taste. heady - intoxicating. insatiable - that cannot be satisfied. fathomless - so deep that it cannot be measured. intrepid - fearless. fend for oneself - earn one's living. zeal - great energy or enthusiasm.

Essay on My Idea of Happiness

Essay on My Idea of Happiness


Outline: Absolute happiness is impossible - happiness does not depend on wealth; yet adequate money is essential to happiness - interest in one's work makes for happiness - physical health is an important factor - domestic and emotional life is a rich source of happiness - happiness is best attained by ot thinking of it. 


From time immemorial happiness has been the eternal quest of human beings. Yet it has frequently proved to be an illusion, a mirage. It may be safely asserted that absolute happiness - freedom from pain, sorrow and disappointment is impossible in this world. Yet there is such a thing as happiness in the broad sense of the word. 


Though all people seek happiness, they don't seek the same thing, because their ideas of happiness are different. Many people associated wealth and material possessions with happiness. A rich man who goes about in an imported car and lives in a posh house is popularly supposed to be happy. As a matter of fact, the only thing certain about him is that he is comfortable whether he is happy or not depends on several other factors - on how he has acquired his wealth and how he uses it, on the state of his health and on his domestic and emotional life. In my opinion, to be happy one needn't roll in wealth and luxury. Happiness is a state of mind that does not depend very much on material possessions and prestige symbols. Milton's Satan has eloquently stated as an essential factor of happiness. 


'The mind is its own place, and in itself,

Can make a Heaven of Hell, Hell of Heaven.'


However, it is impossible to lead a full life in the modern world without adequate money and moderate comforts and amenities. Poverty is one of the greatest and commonest enemies of happiness. If a man has to devote all his time and energy to keep the pot boiling, his mind and spirit will starve, and he will be miserable. I believe that sufficient money - not vast wealth or luxury - is essential to happiness. 


If the work from which you get adequate money happens to be congenial to you, it will largely contribute to your happiness. A large part of man's waking life is devoted to his work, and few things can be more soul-killing than to be compelled to do, day after day, the work one dislikes. On the other hand, if you are genuinely interested in your work, it will be a source, not only of income, but of perpetual delight. 


It is a platitude worth repeating that one must be physically healthy and fit in order to be happy. Many rich men fall prey to disease because of vicious habits like excessive drinking which their wealth enables them to indulge in. In Samuel Butler's Erewhon, a book describing his ideal world, those who fall ill are sent to prison, while those who commit crimes are sent to hospital. The idea is that neglect of health is a real crime which deserves punishment, while crime in the usual sense is committed by those who need mental and moral education. 


Finally, an important source of happiness is one's domestic and emotional life. However rich, powerful and famous  a man may be, he cannot be called happy, if he is lonely, or if he is not happily married. Few things can contribute more to happiness than love, friendship, the laughter of children, and peace and harmony at home. 


Having described my ideas of happiness, I must sound a note of warning. Those who think too much of happiness or constantly pursue it are likely to miss it. On the contrary, happiness is likely to be attained by those who are so busy doing their work and duty that they have no time to think of it. 


Difficult Words: From time immemorial - from a time beyond man's memory. quest - search. posh - smart. congenial - agreeing with one's tastes or nature. to keep the pot boiling - to earn enough money to buy one's food etc. Platitude - commonplace remark.


REFLECTIVE ESSAYS: A HAPPY HOME

REFLECTIVE ESSAYS: A HAPPY HOME

Outline

Any concept of a happy home is personal and not material – the house, the physical aspect of home, should be decent and pleasing - the head of the family should have an adequate income; the lady of the house should not go out for work - love and harmony are the soul of a happy home.

REFLECTIVE ESSAYS: A HAPPY HOME

There are different ideas of happiness, and corresponding to them, there are different kinds of happy homes. Some associate happy homes with skyscrapers and palatial bungalows, while others believe that happiness can dwell in humble cottages and one-room tenements in cities. Opinions differ on whether articles of luxury and prestige value are essential in a happy home. Any concept of a happy home is bound to be personal and my ideas on the subject are no exception to this truth.

Home in its physical aspect is a house, a structure of walls and a roof situated amidst certain surroundings. Though the physical aspect of a home is not very important, it should be, if possible, decent and pleasing. A fairly spacious and good house is one of the elements that constitute a happy home. Thinking of an ideal home, I conjure up a vision of a house where every adult member of the family has a room of his own, and which is situated either in a quiet suburb of a city or amidst the beauties of nature in a village or small town.

From this it follows that the head of the family living in a happy home - in my opinion, it is not a large family - should have an adequate income. Poverty and happiness do not go hand in hand. To adapt a line from Gray, "chill penury freezes the genial current of the soul”. I have said that the head of the family should have an adequate income. In the happy home of my conception, the lady of the house does not supplement the family income by going out for work. A working wife neglects her primary duty of attending to her husband and children and spreading that atmosphere of sweetness and tenderness which transforms a house into a home. My opinions are I admit very archaic but old is gold it is said and as far as building a perfect and happy home I believe the lady of the house ought to be a house-wife.

Today while we are already into the twenty first century with the cost of living so very high most wives are forced to go out to work owing to circumstantial pressures. Under such conditions, both husband and wife must work hand in hand, share the chores of the house equally among them. To help build a happy home, both the husband and wife ought to be free from ego problems, in fact they should be humble and open to accept each other's ideas and strive towards a common goal together.

Difficult Words:

Skyscrapers - very tall buildings. concept - idea, conception. conjure up - call up a picture or vision in one's mind. penury - poverty. genial - happy. perforce - of necessity. bickerings - petty quarrels. archaic - very old-fashioned; no longer used.
