Conforming to society

Bhaiya-ji once said:

"At college, one learns to walk into a five star hotel in hawai chappals* - with dignity. In grad school one learns what kind of shoes one is supposed to wear in a five star hotel."

It just occured to me that the second part of this education (conformance) has absolutely no value without the completion of the first (non-conformance)!

(* rubber flip flops are called hawaii chappals in India)
