A famous educationist once said, "I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of modern education. They seem to me, to be built up on the supposition that every one is a kind of an idiot who must be taught to think." The aim of education should be to teach how to think, rather than what to think-- to improve ones minds, so as to enable him to think independently, rather than to load the memory with data.
If your cup is full, no more can be poured in. A cup full of tea represents a mind full of preconceived notions, beliefs, and biases. To fill the cup with fresh tea, we must first empty it. In other words, you must discard pre-existing beliefs to make room for fresh ideas. Behavioral research shows that perceptions of our past behavior often influence us to repeat the same behavior.
Adam Grant told the World Economic Forum, "One of the dangers of living
in a rapidly changing world is that we end up carrying around mental
fossils in our heads, all opinions and assumptions that might have made
sense in a previous version of the world but are no longer true."
A Small Change in the way you think, can bring about a massive change to the outcome.
