A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous thing

It is said that excess of everything is bad, and it also correct that paucity in any thing is much bad and dangerous. A doctor, a physician, a philosopher, an advocate, a teacher, a scientist, need perfect knowledge in his job. If a doctor has no perfect knowledge of diagnosing treatment for a patient, it is sure that the disease will be complicated and danger of life cannot be overlooked. In the same way, if a teacher has no perfect knowledge of teaching and lack of qualification, the whole nation will sink in the darkness of Illiteracy and downfall.
Every kind of knowledge is beneficial if it is correctly closed. So one should take special care in acquiring perfect and complete knowledge whether they are technical, theoretical or practical. Without it one cannot be a perfect man for his job. In present days it is seen that many jobs and posts are filled by such unqualified persons who are totally ignored of the A.B.C of the job. The main reason of suffering a nation from countless problems, is that they overlook the qualification and efficiency.
A story on the same subject is very instructive. An expert Hakim opened a " Matab " and engaged an " Attar ". Whenever a patient came for treatment, the Attar used to observe. He was very cunning and wanted to know whatever the Hakem knows, But that was not so simple lesson. one day a camel was brought before the Hakim. The camel had eaten a big melon which struck in his throat. The Hakim ordered to lay the camel on surface. He kept a brick below the neck where the melon was visible and broke it with a hurt on the melon. Thus the camel ate the broken melon and became alright. The Attar was very minutely observing all this. After that he left the service and opened his own "Matab". . Once a patient, having a big gland in his neck, was brought before him. He was very glad to see the disease of the patient and assured him that he would be cured within few minutes. He followed the policy of the Hakim which he had one with the camel. When he bate with a big stone on his gland neck, the gland burst and the patient died on the spot.
So, it is said about the less educated people that he is like that small frog who lives in a small pond but thinks he is living in a big ocean.
