CONTEMPORARY KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS..

The 7+ yrs had to go for few extra curricular activities at the young age. Naturally those extra activities in school curriculum as well as outside the curriculum were invariably on Sundays and holidays and that way the child was continuously made to involve into all those activities. 

The grand father felt a lot for the little one struggling to learn/do so many new beyond normal studies and there was a question in him..

'Should the child be put to that much hardship at the tender age making the little one tire beyond?'

For a while he was restless and almost decided to discuss his point with the family members to see that the child was taken off partly from all that additional work load..

But as the elderly gentleman sat in his easy chair and thought over for a while, slowly a certain message was seen opening up in front of him..

• 'Contemporary knowledge/skills are the most important entities in one’s work life..

• Any additional knowledge/skill with one away from own specialization is contemporary knowledge/skill assuming that he/she is update in his/her specialization..

• Partly, contemporary knowledge/skills are taught up to the class where the schooling ends in one’s life. Rest of this knowledge/skills are acquired through one’s interaction in society and extra interests and that varies from person to person..

• One always does one's work through one's specialization the best, no doubt but doing alone is not all. One has to sell his/her work else money will not come..

• That selling is a trick and one's basic skill or specialization alone can't do that unless there is less supply and more demand in the market. And most of the times it is the other way in the world.. So one has to sure create demand and compete in respect of the supply..

• The quality of work which is out of one's skill alone may limit competition from others to certain extent when pricing and timely deliveries are taken care. But surely creation of demand depends upon one's skills of social interactions and all knowledge in that direction to the maximum. And there only the contemporary knowledge/skills sure play a definite role..

• The Employer may primarily take up the task of creating the demand but he/she definitely expects his Employee to assist in that. Therefore, an Employee does not have much choice there..

So, next time when children are seen involving in anything beyond studies, pause and think..

• That requirement is part and parcel of the coming up in life 

WELL

• Of course, with the core specialization as the base!'
