Saw this video shared by a friend of mine a few days back. Finally have the time to watch it. (since I slept so early at 8pm) This boy is just amazing. He's just 13 years old and he's now speaking on a Ted X conference sharing his thoughts to the world. His talk was about a new way of education, a new way of thinking, and a new way of life. What he shared, hits me hard. I'm now a student at a local university here in Malaysia. I've been through the traditional schooling system ever since I started schooling. Kindergarten > Primary School > Junior High > High School > Pre-University > and then finally the life-long dream, The University. The system is dead and boring. All we've been through are just academics. Surely as the years gone by, the school will encourage more and more co-curricular activities, and it was told to enhance our every bit of soft skills. But seriously, do you think they give a damn? Now, the question is, can we make that change on ourselves by now? Or is it too late to discover what we really want in our lives?
