learn to grow big and bigger and the same time learn too , to be good . here big word represents , all that you earn yourself and husband and achieve in your worldly life using the body and mind that you have inherited and got from God or Nature as your born potentials , gift and talent . that is your academics , post , position , place , health and wealth . suppose you are a poet , philosopher , business man , leader , secretary , HOD , doctor ,IAS , engineer and so on . this achievement , whatsoever it may be is important and of very good worth . but this is one aspect of your personalty , the half and not the better half .
now comes the other side of the coin . that is goodness . good and goodness have vast meaning . good is an adjective that can be used any and every where . see ! good doctor = who diagnose the best ; good teacher= who commands the respect of students ; good lawyer = who wins the case ; good knife = sharp to cut ; good criminal = not easy to be traced out . good , thus enhances the intrinsic quality of the thing or person with that added to . so on the other hand we want a good man . a man with all intrinsic human qualities . sympathy , kindness , hospitality , helping attitude , fellow feeling , polite manners , simple , sober , and all virtues that a noble gentle man mus have . it is good to be important , no doubt , but it is very very and more important to be good . here i would like to give only one example that of Great English writer and states man , Bacon who is known in history as GREATEST and THE MEANEST ever born . i would like to say that a person an IAS is very competent , successful and sincere to his work and duties with only exception , that he smokes on occasions , very often . but it would have been better , had he not been so . then i would call him , the perfect . let me conclude with this common saying , " it is good to be important but it is more important to be good ." Greatness without Goodness is not humane , worthless and meaningless .
