Consider 3 people-Bill Gates, James Cameron , Mark Zuckerberg.
Bill Gates-This man virtually rules the software world.William Henry Gates was a drop-out of the University of Harvard and yet is the 3 rd richest person on planet Earth. A popular quote by him goes on like this,"I was never the University topper but today,all university toppers work under me". I reckon this statement tells us everything. Despite being a mediocre college student he still possesses a net worth of more than $50 million.This all happened because he thought differently. He was more creative than the rest of the pack. Don't get me wrong about his hard work.He worked hard but he channeled it in the right direction.
James Cameron:-He made a movie that grossed the maximum for 11 years and after that,he broke it himself! When it comes to the box office,he really is "the king of the world".Another man who considered college insignificant.Yet he revolutionized film making with Avatar.He made Titanic which won 11 Oscars,thus impressing both,the critics and the public.
Mark Zuckerberg-This dude probably is the monarch of cyberspace.Only 2 years into Harvard and he's the world's youngest billionaire. Plus,he cheated in most of his exams and vilified the University's female community. Again,why is he so successful?Why has a film been made on him and not on Harvard's physics department topper?Why is Mark Zuckerberg the Time Person of the Year and not on the perpetual classroom hand raiser ?Once more,he thought differently and had an idea.He didn't follow the bandwagon.
Another person who's on fire these days is Jullian Assange.He didn't graduate and yet most governments are afraid of him. Score 3 for creativity.
Why don't Indians think differently?Why are they the common fish?This can be attributed to our education system.
Our Education system in layman's terms,forces us to "eat and puke". Read the text(don't bother understanding it),memorize(understanding optional) and the anti-peristaltic movements in your brain force the content into the answer sheet.
Creativity is what differentiates humans from apes,animals...blah blah.Creative thinking is why you're reading this. And I can go on and on. Ever heard about the Intel top 30(or 20,I dunno). The competition requires you to "invent" something. It's not a pen and paper test. And the prizes-no,not a pen or a pencil,more than $50 million dollars and a meeting with the most powerful person on the planet-the president of the US of A. Now you can understand why they invent. There ain't,oops,isn't(the education system is responsible for this) any such contest in India.
People,start innovating,inventing and most importantly,implementing.What,your knowledge. Be educated and not memorized. Thank you o faithful readers once again for reading. Hope this inspires.
