Education must aim at enlarging the heart and awakening the latent intelligence and skills and strengthening the character...

Value-based education is not merely
the gathering of scientific knowledge;
it should endow human with heroism in action.

It should instruct human to decide
on what has to be done and how.

Education must aim at enlarging the heart
and awakening the latent intelligence and
skills and strengthening the character.

If education is devoid of 'design'
students (and adults also) character,
it brings disaster.

It can then cause evil and wickedness.
Intelligence can be found to be
very high among clever thieves.

So, similarly, scientific knowledge
can be misused for destructive purposes.

The ancients attached the
highest value to good character.
They considered that if character was lost, all was lost.

But sad to say, today, people
consider that if wealth is lost all is lost!
