Degrees - Bachelors, Masters, Doctorates, Honorary degrees, (un)honorary degrees, earned degrees, stolen degrees - how many kinds of degrees one can get?!
While growing up in India, it used to fascinate me to see long list of degrees against the names of prominent people like famous doctors, lawyers, professors etc. People used to spell out degrees, subjects, universities in such detail that their names used to be totally obscured from all that mumbo jumbo.
"Universities give you degree. Not necessarily education."
"Life is a teacher which gives tests first and lessons there after."
Best university in the world - UHK. Not university of Hong Kong. But, University of HARD KNOCKS. (aka LIFE).
"Only degree that really matters is the degree to which you help others."
Do we have this degree? Are we even working on this degree? How often we can say that we have helped someone with no selfish motives at all?
No wonder one of the best stanzas from Bhagvadgita says - They are forever free who break away from the ego cage of I, ME and MINE. Another verse says - They live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them.
Mere data is not information. Mere information is not knowledge. Mere knowledge is not wisdom.
Cheers to getting the only degree that really matter.
