Corruption is a necessary evil
Zimbabwean anthropologist Manage Chinese has interviewed people who live in the shadow of the law – street vendors, minibus drivers, bar owners and others working in the informal sector. All of them say corruption is morally disgusting. Yet, they bribe police officers or other government officials to make a living.
"They call it a morality of survival. They say, ‘How can it be bad when it means l can send my children to school?’ Others legitimize petty corruption as less bad than ministers stealing millions from the state”, Chinese notes.

How do scientists study ecosystems and grapple with real-world conservation questions?
Learn about ecology and ecosystem dynamics using a systems thinking lens. Authored by world-class experts at the cutting edge of conservation biology, this six-week online course examines how scientists study various ecosystems around the world—from Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, to the Hudson River in New York, to Caribbean coral reefs. Learners will investigate the complex array of factors that inform management efforts, and grapple with real-world conservation questions, such as whether an ecosystem can recover from disruption and what role humans can, and should, play in that recovery.

Outdated Syllabus
Knowledge is becoming dynamic and changing quickly due to the era of internet. Things which are taught in the education institutions at the moment might become obsolete of outdated in no time. Here is a quick video about why Indian Education universities need to adopt dynamic syllabus with new technology.
Knowledge management and collaboration tools and features can help institutes to improve practical knowledge of the students. For example, practical conducted using Virtual Reality technology would become more useful to the students as it would create simulated three dimensional environments for the students to carry out their experiments. Therefore, many institutions are likely to adopt education technology in the coming years.
Thus, by the next year, the traditional methods of evaluation or assessment of the students which was based on theory knowledge will be switched to more practical-oriented methods of evaluation. This can be achieved can be with the help of introduction of technology in the education system.

Hard work or smart work
Hard work would mean spending long hours to complete my work without any shortcuts. It definitely ensures results but the process is long and stressful. Smart work would be aiming for the same results but with planning and prioritization of tasks.
I think to answer this question, in today’s world, one has to redefine the terms ‘smart work’ and ‘hard work’. Most of us think of hard work to be a ‘physical activity’ and smart work to be a kind of ‘mental ability’. Although this was true before the age of the Internet, it no longer holds true. Excellence is all about doing smart work day in and day out. This in itself can be considered as hard work. In this industry, there is a lot of competition. The entire idea is to deliver fast and deliver the best to the clients. To keep delivering great work every day is hard work, but my agency has been winning the ‘Best Agency Award’ for the past few years and this is a commitment to excellence I carry with me too. Hence, I am sure I fall into the category of hard workers.

I am deeply inspired by three famous personalities – Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan and Warren Buffet. In their stories, it is clear that they spent years working hard in their respective fields and were able to produce results, that the world had never known before! Today, Warren Buffet can make smart judgments in the field of investments because he has worked hard to gain those skills. I do not shy away from hard work as I see that the end result will be my ability to work smartly and be the best in a particular field. My current manager would definitely say that I am a hard worker. Besides, once I pick up a new skill, I am quick to apply it to get quicker results, which kind of makes me a smart worker too!
