The Importance of Education

I personally think that education is very important for us as Indonesian teenager who will take over values, good morals, culture and knowledge. We also bring the future of Indonesia nation in the middle of world global civilization.

The condition of education in Indonesia is terrible. Why do I say that? In fact, there are many regions that have not been reached by good education. If the condition is going like this, I am sure it is difficult for Indonesia to be a prosperous country. How can it be? As we all know, a prosperous country must have a good basic education, because by having good education, people will get job easily, good life. Due to this reason, it makes the country prosperous.

Duck and Turtle

Two ducks who lived in a big lake had a friend who was a turtle. One year there was a very little rain and the lake began to dry up. One of the ducks said to the other, “Soon, there’ll be no water in this lake. Let’s go and look for lake.”  “Yes, answered the second duck, “But first let’s say good bye to our friend, the turtle.” When they told the turtle they were going to leave, he said, “I’ll die here without any water and without any friends. Take me with you.” “The ducks answered, “We can’t. We are going to fly, and you have no wings.” “The turtle thought for a minute and then said, “please wait here.” Then he went away and found a strong, straight stick. He brought it back to his friends, put the middle of it in his mouth and said, “Now if each of you takes me one end of the stick in his mouth, you can lift me up and carry me with you.” “ That is dangerous,” said the ducks, “if you try to talk while we’re carrying you through the air, you won’t be able to hold the stick, so you’ll fall down along way and break your shell.” “all right,” answered the turtle, “I promise not to talk while we’re in the air. So the ducks took the stick and flew away, with the turtle between them. All went well until they were flying over a town. Then some people saw them and shouted, “Look, those ducks are carrying a cat!”The turtle got very angry, “A cat? I’m not …” he said, but he did not get any further, because when he opened his mouth, the stick came out of his mouth and the poor turtle fell to the ground.

Golden Eggs

Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his family would die of starvation. Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.” A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy. Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift. Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach. Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.

ELECTRONICS

Television, stereophonic recording and play back, the computer, robots, and space probes are all products of electronics. Electronics is the branch of physics concerned with the generation and behavior of electrons, as in transistors and electron tubes. It is especially concerned with their use in electronic devices, in which electricity is used to control, communicate, and process information. These devices have caused greater changes in everyday life than those of any other technology introduced in the 20^th century.  

THE PAPER BAG

The brown paper bag has just become a hundred year old, and we should celebrate.

That paper grocery bag is a symbol of many good things. We can bring it home from the food store full of meat and vegetables, and it becomes an image of prosperity; it brings thoughts of shiny apples, dry cereal, and clean, warm kitchens-America. When, we fold the bag flat and store it under the kitchen sink it becomes an image of thrift, of saving everything to use again.

Years ago, paper bags were made by hand by boys working for grocers. In 1851, a Pennsylvania school teacher invented a machine to make the bags, but his bags did not stand upright and could not be folded and stored flat. Then the first modern bag was produced; it had a flat rectangular bottom and pleated sides. And in 1910, manufactures began producing bags from a tough new kind of paper called Kraft (a German word meaning “strength”).
