LEARNING TO THINK


"God ,why don't you help me !"- this is a common frown of many,but God symbolize compassion,love,patience etc., then why he don't look in to our troubles? Did we ever realized ,what God has given us.

Now read this story...Once a teacher asked a student to name all the seven wonders of the world.The child was not able to answer this question.Then the teacher asked to think and answer the question.The girl started telling"The Seven wonders of the world are...our eyes which can see,the ears which can hear,nose which can smell things,tongue having taste buds,hands which can work hard, legs having the ability to run,mind which enjoys everything in life, all these are the seven wonders of the world."The teacher was unable to accept this answer as wrong.The pyramid or the Great Wall of china is not above these wonders-thought the teacher.

When we are going to understand this? We never allow the child to create a new answer for an unknown question.Our system of education kills creativity.Walt Disney got the remark of not having Creative thinking when he was in school.We keep safely and appreciate the gifts,greeting cards given by our beloved ones and cherish the memories,but forget to appreciate the gift of God ,who gave a lot to us.Let us learn to love our life and our gifts.Thank daily God(Nature ,if you are not a believer) for the uncountable bliss showered on us.Common be serious!
