The schools of today need to be replaced with schools of ‘thought’

You see, the goal of mainstream education is to produce a massive workforce.They recruit curious minds first,and then numb them by instilling in them the fear of failing and facing humiliation in front of many,so that they can then indoctrinate them easily and produce whatever they want out of the masses.Conventional education uses our very...

How can a 20-something gain an edge over life?

Pastor Charles R. Swindoll once said that life is 10% action and 90% reaction. That’s always hit home for me because when you think about it, life really is all about perception.Life can be tough, so you’ve got to be careful what you feed your mind and soul.And just when it comes to understanding life...

The role of poetry and art in forming an individual.

Everyone begins life oblivious and at the mercy of others. We barely develop enough conscience before we are moulded into someone else.
