School and Academics

I don’t care if I have to go to the hell for my doings here because I have been living the half of my life in one "The School". I seriously doubt that I actually learned something useful in my school days. It was like going to war every morning. I did not like it a bit. Education is important not school. Schools don’t educate us anymore, they build machines. Oh ya I hated it so much that the hatred last till the date. It was a punishment and captivity for 12 years and the best part is most of us never got to know the reason of this horrible suffering. In fact, there is no reason, its the factory of building machines which will go out in the world to do the same work that every other machine is doing—-"Making More Machines".

I was POOR at academics, not average, POOR. Sir Ken Robinson says "Schools kill creativity" and according toMr. Sugatha Mistry "Curiosity is the key to education. Schools kill curiosity". Now who are these two men?Google them and I promise you won’t regret it. It is totally worth to know these two men, knowing their work will change your perception towards education. This is important that we understand that school and education are two different things.

My parents were (are) very disappointed when they got to accept the fact that academics and I, we are not meant to be together. You know it is huge misconception that if someone did not finish school or does not have a certain degree then what will he do? That is what kills "freedom of creativity" and "curiosity of learning". I am not saying that academics is bad. I respect it and lots of my inspirations come from the people who are genius academics of their times, but the important thing is that they became great because they themselves wanted to do it. No one forced Einstein to learn physics, John Nash to learn maths or other geniuses who even din not even go to school but gave world a gift that everyone will remember forever. The truth is that they could become great because they were not forced to do what they did. They loved it already, so they became free to create with curiosity within.

I love films and cinéma and I am looking forward to have my career in it one day. Now since I want to do it, and I can’t afford to have a training in school, that makes me curious automatically about everything which is related to cinéma. Now whatever I will do and learn to follow the path of my choice, THAT will be the education for me.

Remember, if someone is not an Academic then he is most likely to be an Artist. That’s not a bad job, is it?
