Igniting minds to develop problem solvers and researchers for a sustainable world
Education: a binocular view
While every operative system in the world constantly undergoes changes, it is an irony that our education system itself has remained largely unchanged over the last 200 years. As a result, it is rendering itself increasingly incongruous to the present and almost absurd when it comes to addressing the needs of the future. Read on to know the plight and vision of the young stakeholders in education: our students.
Why are we lacking focus?
The human mind has its own ways of working. However we force it to work unnaturally, disrupting the natural rhythm of our own lives. How do we handle it, as we need to focus on multiple spectacles in our everyday life?
MIndful thinking
We often wonder how we can overcome our problem at hand. Wondering leads to thinking- critically and deeply identifying the root cause behind the problem itself. Identifying this cause paves the way to ease our life’s problems. It is not as easy as it reads; but no harm making a try.
Apply critical thinking
Problems are a plenty. However it is the simplest, , effective and most meaningful path to follow when we proceed to solve a problem.
Innovation the growth driver
While everything in the world is undergoing a radical change, it is rather ironic that no significant change or innovation has come about in the domain of education. However without students finding learning attractive, no breakthroughs or inroads can be expected. It is never too late to think anew
The process of learning
Hands-on learning has been practised since ancient times and has been quite effective as well. However the clamour for marks and grades made it go out of fashion. Today it is more relevant than any other mode of learning and is imperative for making children future-ready. So, go ahead and soak in to enjoy your life, making it worthwhile.
Let us get future ready
We tend to abuse technology when we cannot use it to our favour. The disruptive effects of technology are a truism, proven across the span of time. But it is those who embrace it at right time who emerge winners.
Are we future ready?
We love to bask in the thought of being future ready, but often with half-baked ideas. Rather, thoughts that suit our short term interests with limited vision. It is time to broaden up and outwards to know what it entails for us.
Working out the plan
Each of us wants to leave a mark on this world. This can be done by trying to bring about a change in the world around us. However, the stakes here are high, and one needs to tread with caution and control.
Build your inner coach
Situations around us tend to make us doubt our abilities and weaken our confidence. Perhaps most of us are wired this way. But how do tackle this? How do we train our minds to overcome this and turn stronger? The answer too lies within us, as long as we do not lie to ourselves.
Win over your life with passion
We are wreaked by societal pressures to become what we are not. So has education taught us to take that route for generations. The net result is a waster life and waste opportunities
Transforming yourself
Nothing is ever constant, we humans are not either. However this is the process that seems the toughest for us, confronted with the barriers which we ironically set for our own selves.
Humility in a world of flux
We are in a state of flux; in fact, we have always been. The times mark a conflict between the need to be grandiose and the urge to be humble and low key. The benefits make it worth the effort.
The magic of humility
Humility is a much abused virtue. It has been perennially stigmatized to be a sign of weakness and timidity. However it is the latent powers of humility that makes it the ‘queen’ of all virtues. Let us unshackle our minds to accept it.
Humility or, to become a little less different
What is it to be humble? And why should we be one in a world where self aggrandizement seems to be the only way to glory and success? Well, the answer lies in what and how it changes us, internally.
Recognize your strength through humility
We do not seek to be humble ever, though this is what empowers us to do and achieve the highest. Therein lies the enigma, bafflement and magic of this apparently simple, but one of the most deceiving virtues- humility. The risk is none, but the rewards are high.
