Education, in its truest sense and essence, is the discovery of Self.
No more, No less.
The moment you discover your true self, you're educated.
As long as your true self remains undiscovered, you need more education.
To teach effectively, you have to wrestle with (and then subdue) the mind of your student.
To learn effectively, you only have to wrestle and subdue your own mind.
Which approach do you think is easier?

Do you know what else slows down economies? When sellers are forced to move at the (leisurely) transactional speed of buyers.
A transaction that ought not to take more than a couple of hours, being artificially stretched to days, or even weeks, is not healthy for any economy.
Consequently, Ayodele Richmond has decided to create an alternative education startup, quad, to see if he could build "schools" for himself — and for the world — from the ground up.
The Movie PASSION OF CHRIST:
“Mel Gibson warned actor Jim Caviezel that playing the character of Christ was going to be very difficult and that if he accepted, he most likely would be marginalized by Hollywood.
Caviezel asked for a day to think about it and his response to Mel who was funding and directing the movie was: "I think we have to make it, even if it is difficult." And something else, my initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. "I didn't realize that until now."
Mel responded with “You're really scaring me you know.”
During filming, Jim Caviezel who plays the part of Jesus lost 45 pounds, he was struck by lightning, he was accidentally struck twice during the scourging scene leaving a deep 14-inch scar, he dislocated his shoulder when the cross was dropped into the hole with him on the cross. He then suffered pneumonia and hypothermia from being nearly naked with only a loin cloth on the cross for endless hours. The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2 months of shooting.
His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to undergo two heart surgeries including open heart surgery after the filming production.
Jim explained, “I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”
Almost like a clairvoyant prediction many amazing things happened.
Pedro Sarubbi, who played Barabbas, felt that it was not Caviezel who was looking at him, but Jesus Christ himself, as he played that role he said of Caviezel, “His eyes had no hatred or resentment towards me, only mercy and love."
Luca Lionello, the artist who played Judas, was an avowed atheist before shooting began. He eventually converted, and baptized his children.
One of the main technicians working on the film was a Muslim converted to Christianity.
Some producers said they saw actors dressed in white they didn’t recognize during one of the filming sessions, and when they reviewed the recordings they realized they couldn’t see them in that footage.
The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing US religious as well as the highest R-rated film of all time, with $370.8 million! Worldwide, it grossed $611 million.
More importantly, it has reached 100’s of millions of people around the world.
Mel Gibson paid $30 million out of his own pocket for the production of the film because no studio would take on the project.
Today Jim Caviezel simply and boldly proclaims his faith in Christ, and the miracle it was for him to represent Christ as an actor and a greater believer of Christ because of this experience.
Hello, Chief!
I tried sending you a dm but got the message attached below.
I'll like to discuss some education projects I'm working on that intersect with your thread here.
As a result, I'll like to request a "follow back" from you so we can connect here.
Thanks in advance 🙏
1/ Hi @Friday_Praise1, the academic “secret” was really about trying to deeply understand things. This involves 1) being really curious 2) not accepting as true anything I can’t explain 3) mapping new knowledge to existing knowledge.
