Every child is a born genius, this is the key lesson we took on board from our experience. Once you unleash “creativity sky is the limit it is as important as literacy.” The standard definition of creativity is “having original ideas that have value.” The classical Greek conception of schools were that they would be cultivating and deepening young minds where-ever possible. Unfortunately in the modern day parent’s simply “outsource” their children’s education to schools without further thought; antithetical to the original ideal. The secret of our life is quality of your daily agenda. The walls around us are there to be scaled. ‘Staying hungry and foolish’ are contrasting demands but one can do it; it is the power within that makes people not the external manifestation of it. We taught the basics truth of life to our children, drawing on your inner strength is what makes a person, we need adaptation, our philosophies need a new define and our outlook towards the world necessarily needs to change with changing times. Talk sense, not drivel; make coherent statements, read coherent thoughts; add History, Geography, Anthropology, Literature, Science and Astronomy with any of your favourite subjects as a matter of routine.Dump the myths and legends that our forefathers have bequeathed in us, question and query elegantly, find answers that may satisfy the multiversity of sciences and logic. I think society must do more to encourage the cultivation of talent and inspire imagination in our young. The rigorous repetitive and standardized curriculum that we judge and measure them by is a crime committed under the banner of “organised education” and “academic excellence”. These false gods spur on academic inflation, further reducing the tottering credibility of the education system.Genius does not arise in a vacuum for the budding artist, who if neglected as a child and left undiscovered, deprives mankind the marvels of his work. “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” The stress on Academic excellence is extensive that has led to society stigmatizing mistakes. Mistakes must be made for without them we cannot learn. We forget that all children are born artists and dreamers, they must be invested with the tools to express their innate talent. Every education system has a hierarchy of subjects, which encourages academic ability and “useful subjects” for practical application. Education is increasingly dominated by job requirements and many highly talented children who fail their exams are junked forever. The first task of any school, and failing that any parent, is to discover the latent talent of every child. Adopt Greek Academy way of learning: In today’s environment, hoarding of knowledge ultimately erodes your power. If you know something very important, the way to get power is by actually sharing it. ‘Acte de Présence’ (showing up is half the battle) is an essential element of one’s family commitments.
