Hi Haroon,
They say "Teach a parrot two words.. Demand & Supply, and that'll become an Economist"... I say "teach a parrot Debit & Credit and that can also become a professional Accountant.".... But Economist parrots never propound theories for Rent, Wages, Interest or Profit... just like Accountant parrots, who never Create anything by themselves... they simply repeat what they are taught to. They never think beyond their repeatition.... though they've all "five senses" to obtain knowledge but they don't know how to process "Data" and create "Information" from that data received through five senses.
Learning Holy Qur'an by heart is not an easy job... it's a tough, tough, tough task and divine blessing though. But still.....How many our respected Hafiz-e-Qur'an brothers understand this holy book???
What we think "Qualification" is actually "Certification"... it's "The Qualification for certain Certification"..."A Certification for having done a certain given job, in a certain given situation and in a certain given time".
Can't you see a lot of so-called Un-Qualified people even in professional firms, who are much much more experienced & intelligent and are highly paid than the so-called Qualified ones?
About a decade ago, one of very well known partner of one of the biggest firms said to one of my colleagues student that "You don't need to be much intelligent to pass exam. Just do and write whatever is written in the assignment notes. If you start finding contradictions in those notes, you'll never pass".
It's not only here at ICAP.... (Dr. Abdus Salam's daughter was declared failed in matric Maths paper. Because she has solved questions as were taught to her by father.)
Point is what's the difference between "Knowledge", "Certification of Knowledge" and "Qualification to receive Certification of Knowledge"? Our problem is that "All" Certified ones think that they knowledgeable also. My only point is that "Whoever lerans to say Demand & Supply is not an Economist"...as they say "Give a fool the rope enough and he'll hang himself"... I say "Give a stupid the little knowledge and he'll bang the whole lot"...
In the end I must clarify that I don't mean to craete the impression that "Those who couldn't be Certified are all learned ones. I only mean that those who were Certified are not all learned ones."
Sorry for such a long post... take care..
