Why do I love Linux?

Here are some reasons why I use a Linux Operating System:

1. Linux OS is free. It involves neither direct costs nor indirect costs.

2. It is virus-free. Most of the times, it provides a secure environment. We need not use any anti-virus.

3. When I used Windows OS, I had to spend a considerable amount on its security and re-installation of Windows even though I used anti-virus. ( Note: Most of the Indians use pirated versions of Windows which make them vulnerable to many virus attacks ). On the other hand, Linux always provides updates and security patches for free.

4. Most of the applications on Linux are free to use and get regular updates.

5. Windows is not an Open source OS. So, nobody knows what codes are in there. But Linux is an Open Source OS and anyone can read the code and suggest improvements. It gets regular improvements from expert developers from all over the world who work for free.

6. Linux OS works much faster than Windows OS and easy to operate. Once we get accustomed to it, we will never revert to Windows.

7. Most of the Government Organizations around the World and many private organizations like Facebook, Google and Microsoft etc use Linux OS.

8. All the Android phones run on Linux OS.

9. There are many types of Linux Operating Systems available now. From them, I consider Linux Mint and Ubuntu Mate as the best ones. At present, I am using both Linux Mint and Ubuntu on my system. ( It is called dual booting )

Importance of English

English is the only language, which can safely be called a global language because it is spread throughout the world and across continents. English is no more a foreign language in India. Indians consider English as their father-tongue. Personally, learning English has helped me to have access to the vast store of knowledge that has hitherto been created.

    English is facilitating both intra-national and international affairs all over the world. It is also the language of science and technology. The Majority of scientific and technical literature is being first created in English only. English is also a medium through which most of the world trade is conducted. All the world affairs will come to a stand still if we remove English from this earth.

   The English Language opens the doors to international understanding, and it has been instrumental in creating a cosmopolitan outlook among the people.

Is Academic Success an Indicator of Success in Life?

  Academic achievement is not the only measure to decide a person's success in life. A human being needs to play many roles in his life to be called a complete man. He should be successful in many ways as a son, husband, brother, and as a constituent of a large human family of this earth. The academic record is only one part of a man's achievement. He has many responsibilities and obligations towards human society.

  Gaining knowledge is not the only important thing in a person's life, but he should use that knowledge for the welfare of his fellow beings and the society as well. Along with brainpower, he must have humanity and compassion towards his fellow beings. All the human knowledge of this world has only one aim i.e. making human life better.
