LEARN1 Tip: "think like a child – children have no limit to their thinking"
One of the tips was "think like a child – children have no limit to their thinking."
This is the secret to my imaginative process. I refuse to stop being a child. Childhood was the best time of my life for one reason and the worst time of my life for another reason.
Childhood was the best time of my life because everything was new and exciting. I could imagine anything so vividly that I could believe I was actually there. Nothing was more exciting than life, and nothing was more exciting than my own creativity and imagination. I believed I could be anything I wanted to be in the future.
Childhood was the worst time of my life because it's when I learned that I was not special. I learned that what I thought was important was only important if it rewarded me with good grades. I learned I would receive the same boring education as everyone else with the premise that if I worked hard enough I would be rewarded with a job that payed me enough to be comfortable. I learned that life was chasing "A's." I learned happiness was chasing rewards.
Thankfully, I now realize how wrong I was treated as a child. I know the difference between the illusion of learning and real learning. Everyday I fight to stay a child, and I try to forget all the terrible things I was taught about pleasing authority and self-discipline. I want to learn because the world is vast and exciting, and I want to imagine that anything is possible again.
As much as we teach children in our public schools, we unteach just as much. We have to work hard to get back in touch with the way we saw the world as a child.
