Communicating Thoughts

How do humans communicate there thoughts. Some people only talk about what they see or feel. Rather what is before them at the moment. There is always a select few that questions the world. Why does this or that happen. Why does it have to be this way. What if... All things I think about in a daily dose of thinking. It is interesting to present a person with something they have to think about before they respond. Provoking thought. You are manipulating them with out them even thinking of such a gesture. I try to think of the most complex occurrences occasionally. Starting with something simple and going deeper and deeper. When you share this process with different people it can lead to many interesting out comes. Simple for the fact that everyone thinks diffrently. Thats a good think about the human race. Its what defines creativity. Which brings me to a point that creativity does not seem to be as valued as it should be. If you don't have creative solutions then you would always solve something the same way. How would one go about solving something he had not already solved without thinking creatively. You have to try different stuff without the fear of failure. Saying failure is a bad thing is quite wrong. Sometime you learn more from failure than succes. I know that has been true in my life in certain situations. I worry about failing a college class. But if doing so I will figure out while I failed that class and correct it in the future. To teach some one to fail would be a interesting experiment. To teach that same person to learn from that failure would be even more interesting. By that standard would they be considered smart or not so smart in the society we live in. I wonder what telling some to "create is to destroy" would do to there mind. I bet they would take some time to further think threw they statement they have been confronted with. In actuality you would have to get rid of a old/not as detailed belief to gain a new better idea. So to create really is to destroy.

Time Management.

Before college I really didn't manage my time at all. Most people in high school don't need to anyways. You required to go to school. I don't really understand why the government still educates children the way they do. I guess they figure forcing education on someone will make them a more educated person. Well I think most people don't learn by just memorizing facts. Education must be mostly learned threw they person thinking threw problems. In high school its all memorization for the most part. I had a few classes that required problem analyzes to get a solution. The main problem in high school is they don't give you enough time to think about problems. You have to go to 7 or 8 classes a day which is quite insane when you think about it. I personally think that you can learn more from one complex problem then several small insignificant problems. Solving a complex time while doing other task requires time management. This is what college forces you to do. They give you just enough information to go a decipher for personal benefit. After you are given that information you have a certain amount of time to go threw and try to make sense of it. In high school it is pretty much straight forward. There is not much thought that you have to put in to figure out a concept because it is broken down to such a low level. For some topics I suppose that would be a good thing. But ultimately you should have a greater understanding of a concept. If you only know the ground level of a topic then how can you ever expect to apply it in everyday life. For example 2 + 2 is 4. Obviously but, what are you going to do with that knowledge. A very simple way to apply it would be. I ate to apples on Tuesday and another two on Thursday. I ate 4 apples this week. Yeah its really basic but when you start learning multiple topics they will change your life depending on the scope of your knowledge. High schools should have less classes per day and allow more free time to think instead of cramming information into the minds of the youth.

First Blog Post

Today I am writing a blog. I have to wonder why a blog. A blog is suppose to be your thoughts on paper or rather the internet in this form. The strange notion of others reading your thoughts is slightly odd when you think about it. I can see how useful it could be to further human knowledge to read the thoughts of a educated person. Everyone has to have some good ideas but is that worth reading through a bunch of words to come across a idea. I would have to say yes because a single idea could change the world. Just think some one had to think what if we could light up the dark. Which further led to creation of the light bulb / candle. Of course we have other ways of creating light today. This paragraph or blog of thoughts is more about ideas and how they can change the world. Changing the world could be quite simple. But before you change the world you must first change your self. That sounds rather silly but its really simple. You are not changing the world so you must change. You could go out and do community service, but that is by your choice. You had to change what you are doing now. Only thought realizing your potential as a human being will you ever change the world. You must first know before you do. For example research can change the world faster than one person going to a center to feed the homeless. This to people that are contributing to society are actually quite different. The researcher is sort of at the top of the chain of change. The helpers are kind of like workers and they spread the work of the researcher. They are both needed to change the world. In general everyone has to work together to achieve a common goal. I guess I just defined community. By that justification it is fair to say without communities working together we would not have a productive world. When countries started trading with one another they did so because the both benefited.

We must all work together.
