I have ever had a crazy thought, and then my brother said that he ever has the similar thought. Therefore, he showed me an article. I read it. It is cool. Here is the article.
Soe Hok Gie has said that the dead young man far better than the old die. "Simple is everything", says Bill Gates. Matt Shadows once said, Do What You Love or Die Unhappy. Sherlock Holmes was also once said, If all things were that may not be, then it is not possible is the most possible.
Above sayings how unique and strange is it. Sometimes we do have the ideas and thoughts are strange, absurd, and revolting. Have you been there? I never.
I never wanted be better to Drop Out. Yes, drop out or get out of formal schooling. I can imagine seeking knowledge, learning, and working with areas that I field. Moreover, I think it would be far more effective and I can manage my life with more focus and targets that will I achieve. This will also save time. Because it takes after leaving the school is "just" determination to continue to learn, think, and work.
Sounds crazy right?
There are three reasons why does my idea was crazy. First, the out of school, then I am leaving my friends who where with whom I have many experiences and precious moments, I left the organization, and left school when superior people wanted to learn there. The second, with out of school meant I had to take big decisions in life, because in this platinum era, what can be done by someone who just SMP brevetted? The cashier at the supermarket? The third, I am not the person as genius as Bill Gates, Einstein, or even Alva Edison Drop Out of them can change the world. This is strange.
However, beyond that, there are reasons that pushed me and when I rood my head to these thoughts.
Gold and Goose Eggs
I assume the golden egg is the goal of our formal education, which gave birth to create individuals that are independent, mature, responsible, and sensitive to social reality. Education is indeed one of the most considered alternatives to get the golden egg, a condition particularly countries like Indonesia. Formal education is one way to lift our credibility in front of other countries, because the formal education we can generate a variety of experts and scholars to participate to build this country. Besides, the flow of education conducted by the formal education was quite good, ie Perenialisme flow. These flow figures are Plato, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas. They argue that learning is thinking. Therefore, we are trained to think from an early age, one of them through kindergarten.
However, the real essence to be able to have this golden egg is to get the gooses that produce these eggs. I think that the most important and most memorable in the formal education skills and understanding of the truth of science. Therefore, with such individuals can express that understanding to a variety of science who wants to pass it. I think the most important educational goal is to foster a sense of curiosity and creativity of asking each student, and a sense of perseverance to be able to find the right answer. That is it.
From the analogy like that, I have two reasons as I think to get out of formal schooling.
Eggs are looking for is not the golden egg
I do not know what the egg, but that happens in reality is many educational actors whose actions do not reflect that he wanted to get the golden egg of education.
Many people who cheat and dishonest. Certificates are traded easily. They think that formal education is to get a diploma, and if they do as they are, it would be a waste of time. Value, the figures in the report card, which is the orientation of most students in our environment. A current paradigm is increasingly becoming a trend in disguise.
Education is much mixed with elements of politics and business. Many bands or products have nothing to do with promoting environmental education school. I think this is one of the most severe. On TV I've seen a variety of entertainment events are staged in a school. I do not agree about this. What to do these activities with education? That image will only grow worse in education in Indonesia.
We do need the science of life and various kinds of expertise to be able to live independently. However, that does not mean we have to become "masters" in all fields of study. During 12 years of each student is required to be able to master all fields of study. Psychologically, this proves we adopt a formal education behavioristic school. Students are required to obey and comply with the entire written in a lesson book package. Which has a different opinion, he would be blamed. Each student must achieve certain standards in almost a dozen areas of study. This is precisely what makes so many students who prefer cheating ways, and this indicates a breach in education.
If I may I think, this kind of education tend to give birth individuals versatile, non-specialists. Versatile means every person can do all the fields, but with the tendency of expertise that only underlined the average standard. In contrast, to the specialists who have expertise dominant in only one or a few areas, but until the lowest root. They become mater in their industry.
We do need and need knowledge in other fields. However, hey... Behold! We now have lived where unlimited access to information is a finger tip of a finger. Want smart people in Japan? Read the entire contents of Wikipedia? Although amusing, I am sure his knowledge will be more extensive than those formally educated in how to cheat will will.
There Ways to get the goose
among students and perhaps students too, many people who idolized what Bill Gates. He dropped out of college at Harvard, but eventually became the richest man in the world. Now I will speak honestly.
Many people who are lucky Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mike Lazaridis (RIM founder, who also DO Blackberry from college), or Einstein? No! We can see that the people who are financially successful they are also successful in formal education, they are highly educated. One equation of rich people is by Bill Gates is they have the goose to obtain material wealth. Bill Gates out of the campus could be because he was convinced by what he did, and he believed it would work, and then he made a reality and finally achieved. He already has the goose. Similarly, the rich people had, they already have the geese that produce financial golden egg. Only in a different way.
That one of our paradigm is, to get the golden egg is the only way is through formal education. Many people who are less able to send their children or people who want to go to school but cannot, they prefer to surrender and accept whatever nature has destined him. They think that to be successful, they must be as smart as the people who graduated at the university. This is the paradigm of a fatal result. Many of them have not realized that the best way to get the golden egg is to get the goose. In addition, the goose is not only through formal education.
Is prof. Hamka become religious scholars and literature through the schools? Is Sir Thomas Alfa Edison invented the light bulb through physics class? The answer is no. They became great because they are constantly learning and choose to get their way the goose own premises. If everyone thinks that formal education is the only way to succeed, how much we find people who do not learn.
I want to change that paradigm! I was sad every seen kid who should play and learn with friends at school should be run from a vehicle others to singing, to make money, and to find food. It is tragic. I want to prove that if we believe, sincere, seek, and trust in God Almighty, we can get the goose! No matter what color your skin is, who your parents are, where you come from, what your house... It does not matter!
Then, like what is real goose?
I think, at least four things that can be used as a parameter that someone already has the ideal goose:
1. Reading
I am not playing games, the desire to read one is one reflection that he had a curiosity high. All figures are the world's largest absorber of knowledge. They have great knowledge, especially from reading. They are heavyweight nerds.
Harun al-Rashid (from the Golden Age of Islamic Civilization, 1001 Age Night) is a fan of the works of Plato and Aristotle. Isaac Newton from the young to read the works of the great figures of the past, "The Giants", Euclid, Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes and many others. Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft, the richest man in the world) to kill all the books in the school library computers in just a few weeks. Hitler was the reader of military books, history books greatness of Germany, Bismarck, Nietzsche's philosophy, and many others. When unemployed used to eliminate the books in the library in Vienna, Austria. Einstein liked to skip school to be able to read more. So did Sukarno, Hatta, until one of the main fighters idealism we once knew, Soe Hok Gie.
"If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood, on the shoulders of Giants." So said Isaac Newton.
2. Obey the religion
having a strong faith is one of the largest power sources. If many Muslims for example, who see the ritual form of worship is common, and reading the Koran is only for people who are called "pious", ustadz, kiai, or those who have associated a long beard and turban are always cursing .. They are wrong! They have underestimated a large force, and even all the difficult questions that never existed as our purpose of life, etc. we can find the answers here. By having a strong religious belief.
In addition, history has recorded many great people who stand by faith.
Goethoe, Tolstoy, Edison, Marconi in Europe. Tagore, Gandhi in India.
Hulail and Okbah in the Jewish religion.
Dante, Luther Mathin, de Loyala, Thomas Cerlyle and Ruskin in the Christian religion.
Jamaluddin Afghani, Ibn Sinna, Muhammad Abduh, Iqbal in the Islamic world, and others.
3. Personal thinkers and workers
Hamka said in his book, private, "person who made history in a nation are two kinds: private individual thinkers and workers. On the other hand, people whom theory and practice people. Because it is the program of work in life is twofold: to think and work. “
People who always think, reflect, usually are the ones critical. A major problem could be solved if we already know in advance what the real problem happened and what it actually makes the problem occurred. In addition, people who have the critical resources can only do all this. In other words, people who can make a big change is the one who also has a great mind.
And the thinking is needed to attain the courage to be true. Courage to do and fight. Dare to do great things, and diligently work to achieve it.
If you are a happy thought and vigorous work, congratulations! You are the one that will be needed by the human race.
4. Glad to discuss
this is only my opinion, but I am sure people are happy to discuss means the person who is always open to new thoughts. In addition, people who open is one indication of a creative and innovative. In the world of work, intuition and creative power is a very powerful asset in the achievement of the target. Everyone knows that.
Yep, that is one of the strangest ideas I think. However, I am afraid with so that I do not give thanks. I am afraid of betraying my parents who struggled to pay for all my needs and I proudly say that I am going to break the path of this world with my own thoughts. I was weird.
This article may be a critique of education. If that is true, my goal is not to destroy the existing system. I just wanted a change, I want us all to live better lives. In addition, this I do because I love Indonesia, I love this country. I want Indonesia to be better.
Perhaps with this criticism I will be shunned those who did not agree with me. I may be regarded as an enemy later. However, I just want goodness, I just wanted to express what is my mind. Because, what else is more poetic than talking about the truth?
