Conveyor Belt

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

 -Steve Jobs

The unfortunate thing is that most schools and educational systems operates just like religion. It does not teaches us to question and probe. It teaches us to be dependent upon authority and that it is always correct and absolute which is often incorrect and dangerous for a person's independent development. 

And because of that, we have a society where most people are lost and lives in fear and guilt every single day of their lives. Either you go to hell or you get punished by the environment when you don't follow the herd.

This kind of conveyor-belt factory approach does not work and does not allow the person to discover its true identity towards self-actualization. 

Just like a forest, it will be sad if it only has one flower or one plant or a single tree. Being different and diverse is lovely, It brings color to life.

I have seen good and great schools but they all suffer from a tendency to reward conformity and to punish anyone who questions or does not conform to their ideal. 

We were not taught the causes and the effect of history and the events and dates. We were not taught to think for ourselves but to know the facts rather than to bring out the best in each of us and be independent and self-reliant.

The most dangerous person for a government or any authority figure is the person who thinks for himself is independent, wealthy and sophisticated individual who can take care of his/her own needs. The perfect citizen for a authority figure is a needy one because the more you need an authority figure the more controllable you are. 

True power comes from within. Think for yourself. 

Think different.
