Good education has to be based on diverse experiences and for this, real life is the best educator. In our society, we need to develop courage to act on our convictions and be willing to pay the price. Many of us do not act on our own beliefs and we seem to be "stage acting" for all the time. We believe only in symbolic acts not acts for results. I feel like an inventor.
