“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”
― Margaret Mead

Today’s children are going to be the future generation so care should be taken while teaching them.Educators, teachers and parents have to encourage children to think for themselves, follow their interests and explore the ideas that inspire their curiosities.A child must be taught to learn, unlearn and relearn on their own. Memorizing the concept and exposing it as such will ruin the thinking capacity of the children rather understanding the concept and producing the meaningful content will enhance their thinking ability. 

Logical thinking, critical thinking and reasoning are the skills that need to be developed in children at their young age itself. Making children to realize their strength and weakness is the one of the important steps to be done by parents and teachers.

Kindle the curiosity of the children and enable them to think on their own from various dimensions. 

This will enable them to face and handle any situations in their life.

“Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals…We must remember that intelligence is not enough.

Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living.

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
― Plutarch

Nowadays, children are leading a very stressful life and getting educated in a wrong way. They are finding ways to acquire bookish knowledge rather than understanding it. Knowledge is gained through experience and not through bookish knowledge. Students are studying for the sake of grades. But they should know that grades do not define intelligence.Bookish knowledge is materialistic and forgettable. People should see the world with different eyes; eyes filled with curiosity and creativity.

Education is all about new ideas,thoughts and vision.Learning can never be imposed it comes naturally through hard word and dedication.Learning out of interest enhances creativity,vision and critical thinking. 

As the saying goes, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”.

"The world is a book,those who do not travel read only one page."

-Saint Augustin

Education is dynamic and multidimensional.Knowledge is only one dimension of education.The real knowledge comes with experience and travelling is a great source of gaining knowledge of different cultures and attributes.It helps in the overall development of child's physical,intellectual,social and moral development.

Those that do not travel do not see and experience much in their lives. When you travel you see so many different cultures, try new experiences, taste new dishes and do things you never thought you could. The ability to travel is there for everyone, all you need to do is turn the page.If you stay in one place all your life, you never ‘turn a page’. You read and re-read the same thing. You don’t experience new and exciting things. Travelling allows you to ‘read page after page’ fully immersing yourself in ‘the book’ that is life.

Two kinds of knowledge is important one-'the knowledge of self',second-'the knowledge of world around.'Travelling does not only help to know and understand the world but at the same time it helps to know yourself as well. It is a medium of self discovery and introspection.
