Short Essay on Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing

Suppose a man who learns to drive a car poses to be an experienced driver and drives along a busy street, he will certainly meet with accident. When we learn a thing we must learn it well or else we will be in danger. This may be compared to the saying “Half cooked rice will do harm to health.” If we want to taste the source of knowledge we must acquire it deeply. Quackery is another thing. Quack doctors prescribe medicine for diseases. Such quackery often leads to dangers. So we should not attempt to do anything with a little learning as it is dangerous. 

A Short Essay on Adversity is the Touchstone of Character

Adversity means misfortune or misery. Just as the touchstone tests the quality of gold, misfortune tests the real character of man. Character is the inner discipline of a man. The greatness of a man is revealed only when he is in trouble. Job, a rich man lived in the land of ours. He obeyed God even after he had lost all his wealth. Harishchandra had stood  for truth. He sold even his wife, son and himself for truth. That means the real character of a man is revealed by adversity.
