Another year has given to us by our Almighty Father which is certainly again full of
excitement,experiences and learnings that will definitely be imparted to us by our loving 
teachers and parents and don’t forget our classmates who will be our companions for almost ten 
months of enjoyment as well as ten months of trials or circumstances especially to our studies.

Many of today’s youth say that learning is just a waste of time. It’s true that learning is a waste 
of time if you don’t put your heart to it or we may say that you don’t do it wholeheartedly and 
you don’t give your best effort to it. According to Euripides, a Greek playwright,”Whose 
neglects learning in his youth;Loses the past and is dead in the future”, that means that anyone
even our loving parents who disregard learning in his young stage will absolutely waste his past 
and will have no future. As you can see on the writings of Euripides, it is actually focussing on 
the importance of learning and the consequences if you neglect this thing. Learning is a very 
important thing to each and everyone of us in this world. Without education, we would be a 
useless creations wandering on all the phenomena occuring or happening on this world every 
second, every minute, every day, every week, every month, and every year. 

Today’s generation should realize how very important learning is and how it seems to be a very 
precious gift by our parents. As we go on with our life we may realize that God has given us 
another day for a new opportunity to learn new things and to share it with other people. We 
should also understand that learning is not just an opportunity to grab on but also a gift that we 
should be proud of because without it we would be nothing and always remember as what has 
Euripides say;”Whose neglects learning in his youth;Loses the past and is dead in the future.”
