subject: Ignorance Make One Happy [print this page] The common man using a phone could not explain how a telephone. It is assumed the telephone, the railroad, the linotype, the plane, as our grandparents took for granted the miracles of the Gospels. He does not ask or understand. It is as if each of us researched and endorsed a small circle of events. Knowledge outside the working day is considered by most men as a trinket.
We are still constantly in reaction against our ignorance. We wake up at intervals and speculating. We delight in speculation about nothing at all about life after death --- or on issues such as who is said to have intrigued Aristotle, "Why sneezing from noon to midnight was good, but bad lot from night to noon? "One of the greatest joys known to man is to take a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge. The pleasure of ignorance, after all, the pleasure of asking questions.
What has driven reform is a belated recognition that the Chinese system of education is not to produce enough innovative thinkers. In addition, students are deeply unhappy.

Every day, children produce some new wonder - strings of popcorn, handmade ornaments, and bells of German from samples of wallpaper, hanging from the ceiling. Through it all we remained on the sidelines, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this child quiet, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I was hoping the festivities attracted to her. But nothing did. We made cards and gifts for mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, grandparents, and one to the other. At home, students made the popular fried balls and competed with each other to bring the most beautiful. "You put in a hot pan, Master. And let them really hot, and then see what happens inside. However, do not fry too long or broken." So, as my gift to them, I made each of my students a small bag to carry your marbles fried. And I knew there was something that every fact for me: markers carefully cut, color and sometimes stuck, cards and special drawings, embroidered floor mats liquids, hand fringed, of course.
The man who has lost the pleasure or changed it for the sake of dogma, which is the pleasure of answering, is already beginning to harden. A jealous man as curious as Jewell, who sat in the study of the physiology of sixty years. Most of us have lost the sense of our ignorance long before that age. Even, they became fools of our squirrel hoarding the knowledge age and the relationship itself increasingly as a school of omniscience. We forget that Socrates was famous not for the wisdom, because he was omniscient, but because he realized at the age of seventy and still knew nothing. this article comes from www.storeingame.com
