This article is a discussion on matters connected with life. We touch upon issues related to personality development and education. In today’s world, many a time we really do not know why we are doing certain things. Hence there is a pressing need to understand elusive notions such as success and happiness, and place them in perspective. We earnestly make an attempt to understand and pragmatically interpret such notions for a common layperson. Finally we touch upon education.We try to look at education from a wider angle in an unconstrained manner. This in turn leads to the surfacing of pitfalls present in our current education system. These problems are unfortunately connected to non-trivial problems present in other spheres of our society. Hence there may not be exclusive ready made solutions for problems present in our education system. Only a holistic approach may take us toward possible solutions. We indicate some general directions that may be worth looking at. However, these are only directions and need to be explored further before being concertized.
