The Schooling System and How Effective Planning Can Help YOU Triumph It!

                Too much of something isn’t good, but I would like to think education is an exception. There is no loss for learning too much as we all are learning new things each minute. People often pursue more and more education in different areas up until an old age. My grandpa, who is now over 60, is in college for law education. Personally, I think education is a wonderful thing to pursue but I dislike the schooling system of grades, etc.

                Schooling originated long ago when boys went to school and lived in barracks. They would be trained to follow orders and do as they are told. They would eventually be drafted as soldiers in the war and the best in school were the ones who were best in following orders combined with a little skill. This is the base of our schooling today in which the same concept applies. Children are sent to school to follow orders and the ones who follow orders best gets the highest grade. The teachers will teach you an idea and you will have to understand it and attempt an assignment. Most students probably understand it but the one that follows the orders best and takes all the notes and hand in all the work in time gets the highest grade. The one with the highest grade goes to the most prestigious college and then get “drafted” and picked by companies in which they will continue to follow orders. It’s a never ending cycle.

                99% of students will become followers meanwhile 1% will become leaders according to various statistics. School is a training base and a system for students to be trained to be the 99% of the population and picked by companies. It was just like the military and schooling before, but now we are picked by companies instead of picking to fight in the war. Therefore, schooling is a marketplace for companies to choose from. We are trained to follow orders and 99% of us will continue to do so when working in companies. The one who follows orders best gets the highest grade.

                Most billionaires in this world can be considered as leaders because they often creatively construct their own companies. 1/3 of the population of billionaires did not graduate from school; meanwhile the other majorities were B students. These various statistics shows that these billionaires got B’s or failed because they did not follow orders well. They were born leaders and did not get trapped by the system. They overcame the system and learned what they thought was useful. They were independent men. The students who got A’s are followers who fell into the system just like a robot and were trained to follow orders. The B students who create multinational companies will pick these A students to work under them because these people follow orders well.

                Therefore the schooling system is a place with grades according to how well you follow orders. Companies will pick the ones who follow the orders best because that’s what they want. Schools teach you to follow orders and the ones that do get the highest grade. These people are followers and many billionaires aren’t A students. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying schools are bad. Schools give knowledge and education but its system and setup is wrong. Schools should teach in a more creative and allow students to be more independent, free, and creative.

                To conclude, the schools teach you to follow orders at a young age. It is a system and cycle where people with the highest grade or the best at following orders get picked and pulled to work in companies. Schools create followers, and 99% of the worlds are followers.

                A way to not get trapped by the system and allow you to be the 1% of the population is by proper planning. Plan what you want to be and imagine where you want to be 20 years, 30 years, 40 years from now. Then think back on how you are going to achieve that. There are many paths but if you choose a path and stick to it, chances are you will reach your goal because you know what you want. Proper planning will allow you to triumph the system and allow you to get to be whatever you want years in the future. Statistics show that 97% of people don’t know what they want and don’t plan ahead. They don’t make goals so they can’t complain they haven’t achieved anything because they themselves haven’t set a target. The 3% of the population who plans out what they want and what they want to be having a high chance of reaching their target.

                In the movie, Alice in Wonderland, Alice said to the cat “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the cat. “I don’t much care where—” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. This quote shows that if you do not know where you want to go or what you want to be you will just follow whatever comes your way and whatever life gives you instead of making your own destiny and pursuing your own future. You will just accept what life gives you even though it might not be what you want.

                Another quote is a very common one we all recognize. “Life is like a pencil without an eraser”. This quote is true for the 97% of the population who just start drawing. However, the 3% of the population will make a rough draft, practice the drawing, and carefully plan it out. When they draw the final drawing they will still make mistakes but just much less. They will finish with a more perfect drawing which symbolizes being more successful and achieving more in life along with more happiness.

2012, what to expect

                2012 has just began and it has much expectations to be a better year than the one before. Whether it becomes a better year or not, depends differently on each person. If a person works hard, has passion in what they do, and learn to compromise, they will succeed. But if a person is selfish, and decides to sleep at home in front of the television all day and put life on God’s hands instead of going out and working their hardest, this might not be the best year for them. 2012, like many years before it will undergo big changes and many deaths caused by natural disasters. This year, technology will improve and become more efficient has users increase, economy is under a lot of stress, and third world countries have more investors and are slowly growing.

                As European countries owe banks money and have not returned it, the European crisis has occurred. The United States are quarrelling with Iran which could make Iran stop trading oil with countries who are allies with the United States. And with deadly natural disasters occurring in many different countries, 2011 was a year where the economy worsened and people investing in stocks lost a lot of money. However, 2012 is a year in which the economy could increase rapidly or decrease rapidly. Facebook is selling its stock this year as well as other big tech companies; stocks are starting to recover in this early month. However, if the US and Iran’s conflict is not resolved, and European countries do not resolve how to pay bank the banks, the world’s economy and stock could worsen even further than 2011.

                Each year, technology improves and 2011 was a year in which technology exploded and there was an increased amount of people using smart phones which made life easier and more efficient. However, in 2011 there was a technology war between several companies suing each other but what matters most is that the technology keeps on getting better and keeps on making our life easier. Take the invention of the iPad for example, and the inclusion of Siri in new Iphones. In 2012, there will be a significant increase in usage of social media which would mean that information and ideas will move around to more people and also at a faster speed. People’s lives and time are spent more on technologies such as computers. People used to play games using boards but now social gaming is becoming more popular such as friv.com in Thailand. News will also be more social as people get news from social media websites. The world will continue to be more connected as Facebook’s predicted users will surpass 1 billion users.  

                Africa is being recognized by foreign investors who are now investing in businesses and land in Africa as they see potential of Africa. Land prices are rising, and businesses are increasing in the continent. This is great for Africa because these businesses employ people and when these people have income equivalent to people from other countries, the continent can grow and move forward. People will head out of poverty and more will enter the middle class. Africa is moving forward into the right direction. Also with businesses comes the need for infrastructure and a better environment which will help Africa and its people get out of poverty and have a better life with a higher standard of living. Americans and Europeans are also purchasing a 2^nd residence in developing nations such as Guatemala.

Also, prices of books and movies are heading nearer and nearer to zero which means more people can afford them. There are more 1 day specials in price of books where the price decreased from $20 to $2. E-learning and E-books are also used more often and the users have increased from last year. More people area reading books and buying them on their Ipads for example. The price of movies in some places have decreased and people continue to illegally download movies from websites such as piratebay which is now banned in some countries.

As we all know, 2011 was a year of many deaths. Powerful and great men such as Osama Bin Laden and Steve Jobs had both passed away. Each equation needs to be balanced, and these great men have paved way for younger men to rise and enter our hearts as they change the world again.

Will the world end in 2012?

           In 1999, there was a rumor that the world was going to end in 2000. Various fortune tellers confirmed this and people set out having fun and spending all their money. On the morning of January 1, 2010 people were angry when they woke up to see that the world did not end and they had cashed out their bank accounts. The same rumor arose in 2003 but when it didn’t happen, the date was moved to 2012. The rumor suggested that the world was going end by severe natural disasters caused by a planet approaching Earth. There were several severe natural disasters in 2011 which lead to some people starting to wonder if the rumor were true. However it was not true and 2012 began with much expectation as people hoped for a better year. New Year’s Resolution were written and as this year approached, people hoped to check off most of it as possible. 2011 brought the deaths of many great and powerful men, and there were big political changes. What will happen in 2012?

2012, is predicted to be doomsday. The world’s weather is starting to become unpredictable. Take Thailand for example. One day it is very cold, while the next day it is very hot. Natural disasters are also occurring more often and are very severe. Will 2012 be a year with an increased occurrence of natural disasters? Will 2012 be a year where weather cannot be predicted? Will the world end in December 21, 2012?

The world has been going great for over 4 billion years, and scientist suggest that the story of the world ending is all a hoax. The rumor suggests that the planet Nibiru, which was discovered by Sumerians, is headed towards Earth. The rumor also suggests that a solar storm will appear, and that there are planetary alignments which could threaten life. The Mayan calendar was pulled in to support the arguments. Several other evidence was given but scientist does not find any of them have correlation or are true. Scientist is tracking asteroids and meteors and confirms that there are no threatening asteroids. Scientists believe that there is no evidence supporting this theory and that it is all made up.

Some people totally believe that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. They have gone ahead and quit their jobs and spent their moneys as they believe they wouldn’t need it again next year. They are enjoying themselves and living life to the fullest which is great! But when 2013 starts, like many before them, they will have to face the truth that the world did not end and that they will have to suffer the consequences.

Personally, I do not believe the world is going to end in December 2012. I am a man of science and agree with scientists saying that there isn’t enough concrete evidence to support this theory of a doomsday. Claims of the world ending have occurred before and this is not new. However, I do believe that there are some things we cannot explain and that a man of higher authority such as god exists. But I totally support the scientists who claim the world will not end on December 21, 2012. As we all know, natural disasters will occur this year and might take the lives of many of our fellow humans. However, this is normal and happens every year. We shouldn’t think it has any correlation to this rumor and “fake” theory.

Another year of great change, the summary of 2011

2011, like many years before it, was a year of great change and moving forward. Many of the world’s great men had died. Some like Steve Jobs had made our lives easier, while others like Osama had threatened our lives for many years. Both these men were different, but both were great and powerful. 2011 was also a year of disasters, major political change, technological change, ending of terrorism and a more united world, as well as a year of protestors.

            The most important thing in 2011 is the downfall of terrorism and a more united world through the cooperation to eliminate terrorists and dictators such as, Gaddafi, Osama Bin Laden, and Kim Jong-Il. This sent a positive message back to the people. It’s a year we moved forward in terms of eliminating the world’s most feared people. And it’s important because terrorism has just taken a step back. Worldwide cooperation improved and countries helped each other in eliminating terrorists. The deaths of these evil men has just made our lives safer but as we all know, the world is balanced and evil men will soon rise to replace these men. Let’s just hope that when they do rise, worldwide cooperation will have taken a step ahead and will help us catch and stop these men before they can cause much harm.

            2011 was a year of natural disasters which have impacted many countries greatly. There was the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March 11 which killed an estimated 15,836 people, the flood and mudslides in Brazil which killed 1000 people, and the devastating flood in Thailand which lasted several months. Each year, there are many natural disasters but this year was the year we had more of those. The natural disasters in 2011 were deadly and had a large death toll which entered Wikipedia’s list of deadliest natural disaster. The tsunami and earthquake in Japan followed by the nuclear issue brought 350,000 people to become homeless while another 1.4 million of the population were living without water. The Fukhushima nuclear eruption lead to the evacuation of over 180,000 people while many other people were said to be infected by the radiation exposure. It was the worst crisis in 65 years. The flood in Thailand leads to business, economic, and tourism downfall. It showed the vulnerability of the country to deal with these issues which occur often and this event has lead to the government saying they will deal with this issue and insure it does not happen to this extent again. People were homeless, trapped without food, and the damages were severe.

            2011 was also a year of major political change which will enter history books and remembered in time. There was a death of dictatorships such as the death of Kim Jong-Il. The death of these dictatorships allowed for countries to have a change to become a country of democracy with higher freedom and more rights. Sudan was also split into two, with South Sudan gaining independence. Popular uprisings in different parts of the world also occurred often this year as well as the gaining of more rights such as the ongoing Yemeni uprising, and the Syrian uprising. However, there are still political problems needing to be dealt with such as the issue in Bangladesh where women are slaves to men and have much less rights and freedom. The government must change and the issue must be dealt with. The United States and Iran are fighting verbally, meanwhile there are ongoing conflicts such as the South Kordofan conflict and the operation Linda Nchi which is part of the war in Somolia which started in 2009.

            In conclusion, like many years before it, 2011 was a year of great change. Mainly there was the death of powerful and great men, big political changes, and destructive natural disasters. The death of powerful and great men will pave way for new and younger men to enter our hearts and change our lives. Big political changes will be remembered in time as it entered history books and lead to many changes in different countries around the world. Destructive natural disasters have alarmed governments who will work together to make sure they never happen to this extent again. Another year passes, another year of great change, say your goodbyes to the beloved year of 2011.
