Learner or educated!
What matters most? Are you happy being a learner or getting educated? If the answer is learning, then I believe you would agree that we are on the right path. Getting educated is good but today's top innovators have proved that today's education system is destroying the self learning process. Elon Musk, Bill Gates are few examples in US, Srinivasa Ramanujan a mathematical genius has proved that getting formal education is irrelevant.
The future of education lies in continuously unlearning and learning what is necessary. I would like to deviate a bit. Can you keep on learning something you are passionate about as long as you believe that is going to make a difference to the human kind? Wouldn't that be the more satisfactory than just learning what is necessary?
Life long learning is the need of the hour. Can I have an open program with universities and start learning every course that I am interested in at any stage of my life? Probably today's universities needs to innovate on these lines. Let us say you are interested in Masters in Economics this year as you are passionate to apply economical studies on your current trends of why India is able to attract the FDI substantially. In the next couple of years, if you intent to apply analytical knowledge on this research then you might want to learn analytics.
Bottom line is you might be limiting yourself if you think education happens between the four walls or on the window screen that you spend most of your day. Nature by itself has been the best educator for me. Sheer observation and using wisdom can help us learn more than what the formal education is going to teach us.
Happy learning to you all.
