An Exemplary Tale

An Exemplary Tale In this case, it is accurate to say that past leaders did not plant seeds of trees but instead scattered pieces of rocks in the name of seeds, and such pieces of rocks never grow into a thriving garden for any nation. The present is always shaped by the past. As the past was, so is the present. If an individual or a group inherits a present with nothing for them, they should not blame oppression or conspiracies of others but recognize that they didn’t take meaningful actions in the past. As a result, they have no genuine results in the present. Accepting your past shortcomings motivates you to revise your actions today. By acting differently now, you can achieve what you couldn’t before. AN EXEMPLARY TALE Last summer, on June 28, 1995, I met Mr. Abdul Muhit, a retired Joint Director of Technical Education now living in Faizabad, U.P., who related some of the experiences he had during his service tenure. The following is one which struck me as being of particular interest. Mr. A.M. Khan did a B .E. degree in electrical engineering at Banaras Hindu University in 1955. Some years later, in 1963, a vacancy for a Senior Lecturer was advertised in the private polytechnic of Chandauli (Distt. Varanasi). The successful candidate was expected to function as the head of the department of electrical engineering.
