Knowledge Vs. Morality

As someone who teaches, nurturing our new generation is the main mission. However, are we just nurturing "the knowledge"? How about the other side of being a "right" person for the society. Especially the Asian community, parents emphasis too much on studies and getting good jobs for the future, which leads to good grades in school. Is it about being a good students depends on how good the grades are?

There is no doubt that as students, the only focus is study and learn, but what is good if a person is good for knowledge and doesn't have a "heart"? Being in the "world" just for the materiality, without the "heart" of knowing the needs of others?

Perhaps being a "good person" is boring, but is that true? Well, yes or no, but we don't want to be just a good person, we want to be a "right" person! And define "good" and "right"... I think I'll let you to define them.

Here is something that I want to share:

Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.
You don't have to have a college degree to serve,
you don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
