    We can't just face issues yet we can understand them too with our education. Our education can give arrangements of our issues. We simply need to actualize those arrangements astutely.

    This little picture has so many meaning in it. It is completely filled with richness of thoughts. It depicts how the young generation of this world is facing so many problems at such a tender age. This can also mean that they will saturate at a point and they would not want to grow at a point and that is when they reach the top.
