Educated Are We?
What constitutes an educated person? Many people would describe such a person as someone who has learnt a lot of information and is able to recall it at any given moment. That’s the premise upon which the education system is built, and yet it doesn’t constitute education, it’s nothing more than an exercise in memory utilisation that rarely evokes wisdom.
The word education is derived from the latin word ‘educo’, meaning to draw from within. You can know something without really understanding it. There is a quantum difference between learning and gathering information. The traditional education system remains largely gripped in a paradigm of ‘learning’ by reading, remembering and repeating. If a student does that well, he or she is decreed to have learnt. That may be true in some cases, however, for many it’s simply an exercise in memory gymnastics, not learning.
Learning is not gathering information, true learning takes place when you consciously entertain serophene an idea, you become emotionally involved with that idea, you act on the idea and improve the results

The performance gap in life is truly between what we know and what we do. Some of the brightest intellects can be found sitting on park benches at night drinking themselves into oblivion. Some might say those people are stupid, that isn’t true, some of these people have been awarded with the highest academic awards, what they lack is awareness. We were taught the lesson over two thousand years ago when Christ said ‘by their fruits you will know them’. A persons results will always reflect their current level of conscious awareness.
So an educated person isn’t someone gifted in retaining information, it is someone who is willing to trade their most cherished beliefs for a new idea when one comes along. How are you placed in that equation? How open are you to new ideas? Your answer to that question will determine your success in the creative age. It’s the quality of your thinking that determines your results. If your thinking is as it was only a few months ago, you should be concerned. bruce almighty divx online
