My favorite person who inspired me

   If you want to achieve a goal in your life, you will definitely have a person who inspired you as an example. For me, Thomas Alva Edison, the American inventor has inspired me.
   Thomas Alva Edison was born in 11th February, 1847. He was one of 7 children and could hardly speak till he was 4. In school, he was ridiculed by his teachers and often called as dull and abnormal child because he always tried to know the reasons for everything he was taught by them. His mother supported him and often used to tell her neighbors that one day her son would be a great person. 
   She was right. At 21, Thomas Edison made his first invention, which was electronic voting machine and he was praised by the Mayor for the same. After that, he achieved chain of inventions under his name. He created an 'invention factory' and therefore proved to be a good businessman too.
   The most well known inventions are 'gramophone' and 'electric bulb'. The first phrase to be recorded ever and played back was 'Mary had a little lamb'. Total number of inventions in his life are about 1,100. 
   To conclude, Thomas Edison has inspired me the most by his achievements and sayings. The most inspiring statement he made was that for every unsuccessful attempt, he would say that he has not failed but he found 1000 ways that wouldn't work out.

Consumer Education in India

   With the arrival of industrial revolution in the world, the practice of buying and selling i.e. trade activities has reached to its significant level. Therefore, it is in concern that do people or consumers really draw benefit out of the product or service they buy. In other words, it is in question that is the amount charged for goods and services really worth it.
   So, here comes the concern for consumer education. If consumers are educated and well informed about their rights then they will avail maximum benefit from the goods and/or services they purchase. The second point is for the question that why is consumer education necessary. It is because consumers are spread all over the country and it is not humanly possible to make a common platform for them in one area. Moreover, when government's ultimate goal is increasing the standard of living to its maximum level for the general public. Therefore, consumerism should be included as a separate subject in schools and other discipline is that at young age only people become aware of their rights and duties and buy goods and services carefully.

Strong and responsible dictatorship vs weak democracy

   In this world, there are different types of government for different countries. For e.g. China and Cuba have one party system of communism while India and the United States of America have democracy.
   So, coming to the topic of this article, is dictatorship better than a weak democracy? My answer is 'yes'. First, I'll give live examples to prove my point of debate. The best example we can think of is China. Today, China is one of the richest nation in the world and its cities and urban areas are so developed that it will make you feel that you are in some European nation. The same environment and development was not there few decades ago in the 1990. However, I would like to make an addition with dictatorship that merely any dictatorship will not ensure development of this nation. Dictatorship should be a responsible one, There are many examples of failure of dictatorship which I would agree like in Iraq and many African nations.
   Now, coming to derivative reasons, I agree that all nations who are underdeveloped or developing should have dictatorship. A child who has not yet become a man is taken care by his parents or adult guardians. I would not say that he is dictated by his parents or guardians but his activities are largely regulated and controlled. Same with nations because in selecting their leaders, they need to be controlled and trained for the same. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose also wanted India under benevolent dictatorship after its independence for sometime and then open the doors for democracy.
   To conclude, I hope that in this article, I have stated enough reasons for supporting my point of debate that strong and responsible dictatorship is better than a weak democracy. India under democracy is still facing social evils like corruption and increase in crime rate etc.
