Common Sense :-)
Last weekend me and my mom were discussing on few things and the question of the common sense came in. She mentioned that today's education is ruining the common sense of whatever is left in human beings. I couldn't agree with her more. Doesn't education teach you how to have more presence of mind? Building your concentration should be the essence of education rather than stuffing your memory. Lest we forget that our current Indian education system is about memory load (or rather overload) :-).
I took up a common sense test online to see where to I stand. Believe me, I took this to evaluate myself. Results were amazing...I am creative and analytical. Being a virgo, I tend to be analytical but 'creative' that came in as a surprise. You never know the hidden talents correct :-). Okay...let me stop admiring myself too much.
Let me give you the actual common sense advice....the same questions asked in another website Common sense test 2 with same answers and here is the result 'You are so smart'. Don't fall for this crap unless you need to be reassured by websites to tell you, you have some sense left in you still. :-)
With all the humor and sarcasm, let me proceed with the gyan I wanted to convey. I learnt few things when I was giving the above test - be patient, read between the lines, be open minded, be cautious, think twice before answering. Wouldn't it be so wonderful that you need not have all the knowledge in the world to know that peanuts don't grow on tree.
Now the real question - how much of our education system is making us open minded, smart individuals? Do reply on this in your answers.
