Facts serve no purpose by themselves, they exist.
We confuse the accumulation of facts with education.
A good education should inspire us to continue to discover and understand more. It should give us the tools and teach us how to think.
Thinking is the abilty to visualize, create and discover relationships between facts.
Intelligence should not only be measured by how much we know, but rather on how we apply our thinking and on much of that knowledge is passed to others for the future.
The future will be in the hands of those learning today.
Are you sharing your intelligence with others and creating that future?
(inspired by the study “Are they really ready to work?”)
