Our Educational System

Today, very briefly – a picture is worth more than 1000 words. Image title is “Awesome Demonstration of Our Education System and a single image :) ”. A friend has posted this picture on Facebook, it was drawn by Sumit Momle.

You may wonder what caused that situation. I hope you will, because this is not a coincidence. The entire school system of the western world is based on the Prussian system, which produces workers and soldiers. People who have been educated to listen and follow orders. People living in fear and endeavoring to ensure the existence convulsively. And of course, that’s why they do not have time to think about anything else. Every now and then television and other media serve them a few things that move their thoughts away from themselves. Clearly, the government simply does not want people to think too much about the causes of what’s going on.And the solution?

Robert Kiyosaki in his book Rich Kid Smart Kid says a lot about the different types of intelligence. And how the school system supports only one type of them. Everybody’s intelligence is on same level, but in different areas. Every person learns easiest in a manner determined by his preferable type of intelligence. And responsibility of parents and teachers is to help a child determine which way to learn is best for him or her. But first, of course also parents and kids should determine for themselves which type of intelligence is developed most. On which area you are most intelligent? Here are some suggestions that will help you find it out:

There are several types of intelligences (by Howard Gardner)
- Verbal-linguistic: the ability of writing and reading; our education system prefers it,  journalists, writers, lawyers and teachers have this kind of intelligence most developed.
- Numerical: refers to the processing of data measured by the numbers, specific to mathematics, physics, engineers
- Spatial:  creative people have developed that kind (artists, architects …)
- Exercise: it is shown at athletes, dancers, craftsmen, these people learn  easiest, if they do something
- Emotional: according to opinion of  some top experts this is most important intelligence; when we are afraid or angry, we don’t have control about what we speak to ourselves, because of fear and not because of ignorance
- Interpersonal: the ability of easy communication, speakers, singers, actors, salesmen have that kind of intelligence highly developed
- Environmental: the relationship of person to things around him – gardeners, foresters, veterinarians …
- Financial: ability to deal with money

Later, there was determined more than 30 other types of intelligences

It is not important how many things you know and have learned. Only thing it is really important today is how fast you can learn, how good you are at exploiting power of your feelings and how you can deal with other people. And to be good on these areas you need to know how you can learn best and what kind of intelligence you have developed highest.

Lazy* or uneducated?

29. 2. 2012

Who? Those who think they are being wronged. If you’re not among them, then you’ll certainly recognize someone in your neighborhood who fits into one category or the other.

Perhaps I will offend somebody with this article. You know, I do not care. In fact I will be happy if I will manage to make you think a bit about what is happening to you and your surroundings. If I’ll make you even to take action, I will achieve my purpose – to improve the world in which I live.

Today we can read many things  about Greece. And the 15th October movement who protest against banksters. Greece is on the way to bankruptcy (in fact Greece is bankrupted for a long time, but that nobody dares to tell that public) because they lived too long on credit. Public administration is beyond all healthy limits. Why did this happen? Only that way the ruling family could hold the power. And because the Greek people were too lazy and too uneducated to find a more healthy financial lifestyle. At least a large majority. Now the bill for the party must be paid. Instead of paying Greeks prefer to go to the streets and they allow to syndicalist ********* to lead them. They continue to be lazy, instead of seeking a solution. Street is only inevitable disposal today. The same is happening in the rest of “inhabitants of pig farm, waiting for the slaughter or death of a heart attack as a result of overindulging ” as a vivid description of a friend (PIIGS is an acronym for the European countries with the most problems – Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) .

The same is happening in front of Wall Street and as will in the rest of the world soon. I agree that people who lead the world (and they were given funny name banksters) are defective. But protests alone will not solve anything. It will also cause no change if there will come another shape or different names of  banksters.

What then is the solution for somebody who goes to work every day, pays the bills every month, who must repay the loan, who is trapped in the rat race of everyday life and thoughts he or she is being wronged? It depends in which category he or she belongs.

Sloth does not mean only that somebody  is too lazy to work. Laziness means in particular that somebody is too lazy to think. Often most busy people are most lazy people. Such person will  find a whole bunch of tasks just to avoid thinking how things get right. And they then feel sorry for themselves because they work hard all day and then do not get awards they imagined they deserve.

But some people kick and scratch and are constantly seeking and testing new ways to swim in a situation in which they find themselves. Of course, they make a lot of mistakes, which can be costly, in addition, they are scoffed by the ones who are lazy. Many are also afraid to ask for advice. True, some still think that they are being wronged, as they struggle and get no result. But it is  much easier to help such people, especially since they already admitted that they are in trouble and took full responsibility for the situation. I personally have great respect such people and I like to  help them. If you’re one of them (and not you embarrassed because you take responsibility for yourself), you are invited to browse the literature or contact me.

And if you feel no pity yourself and you think are not being wronged? Then you are surely familiar with the basic knowledge that is accumulated in the literature on financial literacy. And surely you know the authors who have helped people save money, time and solve personality problems. And I hope you are already helping those who want help and are willing to accept and are grateful for it.

*Sloth does not mean only that somebody  is too lazy to work. Laziness means in particular that somebody is too lazy to think. Often most busy people are most lazy people. Such person will  find a whole bunch of tasks just to avoid thinking how things get right.

Why it is useful to donate?

23. 2. 2012

Donations are very interesting topic. Only few people understand them. That’s why there are only few people  who have problems because they have too much money – as you probably already know most of people have problems with too little money.

Anyway, Kiyosaki says that everyone should have three piggy banks (or bank accounts or anything that makes possible to store the money). One piggy bank is for donations, charity.

In one of previous posts I talked about where to pay attention when donating, but now let us talk about what benefits you can have from donating.

But, if I have the benefit of something I give, then the donation is not sincere and it is inferior to those donations, of which I have no benefits. Well, if you think that way this is quite ok. But I can tell you that if you don’t request something from obdarovanca in return, it has exactly the same effect. And yet I tell you – if you like or do not want, from any donations will benefit. Despite the fact that you think that you do not have.

Let me explain. When I talk about the benefits, this does not mean direct material benefits. These are less important. The main benefit of the grant is to make you feel good. Themselves and donated to brighten your day. What has happened? You increase self-esteem. Reinforced the feeling that they can do something that you have influence, you can help. Also, the fact that you can afford to donate some, it means that you have this in abundance. If this money, you have money in abundance. Likewise, over time, or any other thing. Which means that you have more peace of mind that you do not need to worry about. And it’s a great feeling!

And feelings are the ones who help to change reality. Our brains do not know the reality. Only known picture of reality, such subconsciously see. These images can be very different from each other and to a certain extent can you control what actually perceive as reality. In other words, the subconscious can be influenced by conscious acts.

It is therefore very important to stick to principles, to donate, even if the moment we think we do not have enough. On the subconscious will effect that she’ll tell you that we have enough, even so, we can afford to donate.And so the subconscious will no longer employed with the concerns, but by creating new opportunities. Surely you have heard of the law of sowing and reaping, to give “what you give, what you get”, recorded in different ways in many important books. This theorem also has a foundation in the underlying principles on which our subconscious mind works.

Therefore, grants are good and positive for all involved if they are of course carried out in a proper manner. Try it, the consequences can be very amazing. You might run into problems that I mentioned at the beginning of the component parts – you have too much money!

And yes, I did not invent himself. Even better is Robert Kiyosaki explains in his book, Where did my money. It pays to read it!
