"The Power of Critical Thinking and Lifelong Learning in Education and Beyond"
"The Power of Critical Thinking and Lifelong Learning in Education and Beyond" Albert Einstein, a German mathematician and physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity was once asked what the speed of sound was, to which he replied "I do not carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books. The value of a college education is not learning of the many facts but training of the mind to think". I remember back in school how I would memorize just to pass and forget everything afterwards and thought those who were good at memorizing were more intelligent than I was not knowing that we all have special abilities. If I had read Albert Einstein's quote much earlier in life, I would have looked at the whole thing differently. Albert Einstein once said "Everybody is a born genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree then it will live its whole life thinking it was stupid". The best use of you
