Life Lesson

“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water.
Lay your bed where the cat sleeps.
Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm.
Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit.
Plant the tree where the mole digs.
Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself.
Dig your fountain where the birds hide from heat.
Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days golden grains.
Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest.
Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water.
Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear.
Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.”

Saint Seraphim of Sarov

Education a normative science

Education is a normative science that tries to find out norms or ideal of education acceptable to people. There are complicated problems of education, what subject to be included in the curriculum, what standard of discipline is maintained in school and so on. Education as a normative study tries to find out those problems that are generally acceptable. In order to determine acceptable norm it takes help of philosophy. It is the philosophy that may help education to perceive the problem as a whole comprising its pasts, present and future. It tries to arrive at a norm or ideal acceptable to the maximum number of people. So, education is thoughtful, reflective, speculative and normative subject of study. Ross has put it, “Education, however, is very much concerned with aims, ideals, standards and values and these in themselves are beyond the province of psychology.”
