A gift for students and lifelong learners

All of us have the capacity to be curious about things, to want to know and to explore, examine as well as analyse. However, all of us are not doing this at the same rate. Inquisitiveness is an important quality that is within us but not all of us are releasing that potential. The question is: why?

If one were to look at all the inventions in the world, most of them are created because someone somewhere asks “Why not?” when he or she encounters a problem or faces an issue. The “Post-It” notes from 3M is a good case in point. More details with regard to its creation can be found here. Do have a look under the “History” section.

The above video illustrates that fact that learning now takes place within the classroom and beyond. More importantly, it examines the possibility of releasing our potential of inquisitiveness. I hope that you get some inspiration from the interesting video and ask yourself if you are able to provide a solution to a problem if you encounter one in the near future.
