Several days ago, I watched the movie”3 Idiots”. I had never seen a complete Indian movie before. In my memory, Indian movies are full of Indian dances, which have no attraction to me. As many friends commended this movie to me, I had a try in a rainy Saturday afternoon.
Although the movie was called”3 idiots”, I thought they are even much wiser than many so-called good students. We had absorbed so much knowledge since we went to school when we were only 6 years old. The Rancho, one of the three idiots, used the knowledge, which we all learnt in secondary middle school, to prevent his room door from being urinated by a senior. It is just based on the simple theory that salt water is a good conductor of electricity. What a clever idea, but most of us may forget this or ignore such simple theory. He believes in understanding over mindless memorizing. However, nowadays, many students learn a lot of knowledge only applying to examinations. Sometimes, some simple daily problems can stump many good students. They may be the best in examinations, but they cannot make full use of what they have learnt in other aspects.
Learning is a course; learning how to use what we have learnt is the result.

ReplyDeleteI cannot agree with you anymore!The knowledge is supposed to be applied in our daily life,and the world a better place to live in.
