I Was Born Intelligent But Education Ruined Me

I saw this graffiti written in bold on the T-Shirt of a carefree guy and he seemed to be flaunting it very proudly. At first I just ignored it, taking it as another funky statement but then a little more thought made me realize how true it is.

Scene 1:-

I was walking through the corridor of my company when a man in his thirties in grey uniform stationed at the end of the corridor opened the gate for me to pass through. His duty is to open the gate for the visitors. He has a chair by his side but he can't quite afford to sit. Scorching heat, rain or cold, it hardly matters, he is there by the gate all the time.

Scene 2:-

In the canteen, people from Hospitalit Department are constantly serving food, tea and other eatables for us (including me) to fill our bellies. One invariably finds them running here and there to ensure that people like me have their food and other snacks on time.

Confused??

Why the hell am I stating something which is obvious? And how are these scenes connected to the main heading?

My Dilemma:-

These guys standing in the corridor, cafeteria or at any other place may have received very little formal education. They may not have gone to the best engineering colleges or MBA Schools; they may not have degrees that many of us strive to achieve througout our lives yet these guys make me envy. More than that my respect for them has grown manifolds over the time. These guys with little formal education who make our lives simpler in office, know exactly what they are supposed to do in the organization. They may not be carrying KRA (Key Responsibilty Areas ) sheets but they exactly know how they contribute to the organization. On the other hand there are people like me who make tall claims of having degrees and degrees, claim to be educated but still so unsure; unsure about their roles in the organization and how do we contribute to its growth. What an irony? What is the use of education then if it can't bring clarity into someone's life or for that matter in my life.
