Rethinking Education

The current system of education always leaves me with many unanswered questions.....not like homework questions....but real life questions.

What holds now was perfect in the industrial era when all one needed to excel at work was to follow instructions to the letter.

In today's world, its more about initiative, intuition and independence. Organizations can no longer afford to employ 10 people to do 1 job, rather they are looking for 1  person that can effectively do 10 jobs and pay the person the fee of 3 people....thereby eliminating about 70% of their costs.

Perspectives

Famous actor Jackie Chan and Renowned basketballer Yao Ming

According to Jackie Chan, ''Yao Ming and I only have a SLIGHT difference in height...''

How true this is depends on his perspective. 

Perspective is a measured assessment of a situation, giving all aspects their comparative importance.

Our perspectives shape our decisions and ultimately the lives we live. It would be most helpful to us if we broaden our thinking beyond our present circumstance so that we can see things beyond what they currently are to what they can possibly be.

So Mr. Chan might not seem as tall even with his hand raised up, he can stand tall in his minds eye.
