Schools of wizardry, fear and brain outsourcing

"When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts."
- Dalai Lama -

Our methods are wrong, and it is nobody there to point it out. We do not learn, most of the time we spend in school, but we memorize and replay what was told to us. You can either do it as the teacher said, or you are wrong. Of course, there are exceptions, but not so many. Mind is just a tool, and doesn't matter how much we know, this will never make us happier than we are now. If i would be asked, i'll tell them there is a need to teach about empathy, awe, kindness and financial education. Mind can teach you about the universe, learning about the ways of the heart will help you to find about the inner universe. Which one is more important?


"To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong."
- Joseph Chilton Pearce -

Fear of failure will contract you, will get you back to your chrysalis, and you will never become that beautiful butterfly you are meant to be. As humans, our fear is reasonable and ever present. But the real geniuses are the ones that learn from failure, and keep trying, until they reach a tremendous success.


"The human spirit must prevail over technology."
- Albert Einstein -

Technology, in the same way as our own mind, is only a tool in our hands, and need to be used as such, to improve the quality of our life. But, in the same way as one untrained mind, technology is becoming a burden, eating out our time and energy. We do not need to blindly follow something just because everybody is doing it. How many phone numbers can you tell out of memory, if your battery is down? How many of your colleague's birthdays do you remember? Outsourcing your brain skills to a smartphone will only make you to not live at your full potential. And this is just an example. GPS driving, could be a second one. You are suddenly without internet and you drive somewhere? Do you remember how people used to drive before the SatNav? Think about this.
