I used to see young men and women pointing at Zuckerberg, Jobs and Gates as their example for not continuing with school. They forget that these luminaries would never, repeat, NEVER be where they are and achieve what they achieved WITHOUT the education system of the day. That's another strong reason why we should stop blaming the education systems. Listen to this.

It is an uncomfortable place to be at when you are in a crisis and when you are generally regressing. You want out of that situation as soon as yesterday. However, that's not how life turns out, at least for the most part. We might need to stay there a little longer. Listen to this.

By default, when a crisis happens, we all tend to curse, cringe and even give up on what we were pursuing. Maybe we are justified to do so. However, could there be another approach? How about to celebrate the regression? Listen to this.
