Whom Do I Call Educated ?





First those who control circumstances instead of being mastered by them.


Those who meet all occasions manfully and act in accordance with intelligent thinking.


Those who are honorable in all dealings, who treat good-naturedly persons and things that are disagreeable.


And furthermore, those who hold their pleasure under control and are not overcome or spoiled by success.




-- Socrates

If pondered upon... these statements mean a lot .. deep and intriguing!

Socrates (469 - 399 BC) was a great scholar. He devoted himself to free-wheeling discussion with the aristocratic young citizens of Athens, insistently questioning their unwarranted confidence in the truth of popular opinions.
Although the amnesty of 405 forestalled direct prosecution for his political activities, an Athenian jury found other charges—corrupting the youth and interfering with the religion of the city—upon which to convict him, and they sentenced him to death in 399 B.C. Accepting this outcome with remarkable grace, Socrates drank hemlock and died in the company of his friends and disciples.

Also Socrates had a great sense of humour which is not known to many around.. he famously stated..

"By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. "
