Subject: [ifets] Technology Vs. Learning

Dear IFETS Forum Members,

  Whatever we are going to learn, we must learn from the roots.

Be the Jack of All and Master of One, not Be the Jack of All and Master of
None.

Regards above proverbial saying, I want to write a short story, that
Once..

There was a professor, who was well equipped with the best of technologies
available in the World, the professor and the boatman were enjoying
sailing in a river. Professor was telling him about his great achievements
and records. Then, suddenly the storms came, and the boat was about to
turn upside down, at this moment, the boatman asked the Professor, "You
have told me about your greatness, then please let me know, Can you swim?"
Here the professor failed to answer, the boat drowned...

Therefore, Be the Jack of All and Master of One, not Be the Jack of All
and Master of None. We must learn some lessons from this. Even, you are
knowing all best of the technologies available, It is not quite enough,
you have to be the Master of One. Otherwise, what have you learned the
lifelong is in vain.

Thoughts??

Kindest Regards
Arun Tripathi
