The main three pillars of the Indian economy are education, health, and employment. The mind-boggling part of this is that these three are very interconnected and interdependent. A defect in anyone affects all. We need to balance the three at different levels.
We got so many young youths who are from very well families. They did get proper facilities and institutions in terms of infrastructure, faculties, doctors, and others. These all students are literate, meaning they can read and write. But are they educated? Can they think?
This youth got good pocket money. They also go to the gym. Got into multiple sports. But are they healthy? The gym is done with ambition or only following the herd mentality? Diet is natural and for the long term? Or it is artificial and short-term? Are these pumped-up bodies mentally sound?
After so much cramming and lifting weights why are people unemployed? Why are they lost? Why are they stressed?
Got degrees got certificates but lacked the skill, the experience, and the identity. Marketing professionals are not able to polythene themselves as per the job description.
This issue is not with all, but with the majority. Let us dig a little deep.

“Education is not the answer to the question. Education is the means to the answer to all questions.” – William Allin –

India’s Health Muddle
All are aware to lead a healthy life but how many of us does lead the same?
Health = physical health + mental health.
Physical health and mental health both go hand in hand. Mastering one and ignoring the other is a sign of a lack of balance and awareness. with good health, one could never use the wits properly and could not get good employment failing at personality.
For mental health we must keep checking ourselves, we must see what challenges are coming and which need attention. Developing anxiety? Feeling headaches frequently? Then we must take a break.
Now when I say this, I mean we should not ignore the signs of burnout or exhaustion. We do ignore such indications and later feel deeply paired up with despair. Small headaches could be managed and must be managed. Never hesitate to see a reliable therapist. Communicate and sustain the relationships.
For physical health, we have gyms. The runners and soft weight lifters are doing the course without any regard for their health. Now, this is a concern because time is an expensive thing. which can’t be loaned or borrowed. At 6 in the morning, people choose gyms over fresh green parks.

India’s Employment Muddle
Employment is the biggest concern in India. Successful organizations are looking for open minds. The innovative and creative minds. The ones who know how to use the application of concepts taught.
