Making Sense of it all

Introduction

I have spent much of my life trying to make sense of one thing or another. Perhaps you have too!

All you have to do is watch any news channel for a few minutes with an unbiased view, you will see right away how little sense any of it makes.  

There is so much talk about justice, equality, democracy and most importantly about freedom,  Yet none of what is going on around us is anything but just or fair.

This  in itself doesn’t make sense, as  over the years, decades and centuries we learnt so much yet done so little to make our lives better..  

We have had many instructional manuals on how to live a good and prosperous life, such as the Torah, the Bible, the Quran and not to mention various Isms, like Buddhism, Hinduism, communism, socialism and capitalism to mention a few.  Yet despite all these, the majority of people don’t have a good life and are continuously seeking prosperity and fighting poverty.

It is time for a new guide rather than an instructional manual.  A guide built on current facts, knowledge and experience;  not just, on faith.  

Perhaps that is the secret to success.   

Using a guide requires; making choices.  Which means thinking for yourself and taking responsibility for your actions.  

Making choices depends on your needs which change from time to time.

If Life is a game than  making choices are the moves you make in order to win.

Any one can play any game, the question is how to play to win.

In order to make the moves or play the game  to win,  we need to: 

  1. Learn about the environment(board)

  2. The rules of the game

  3. The players, including you

  4. Most importantly, the prize.  What are you playing for? 

  5. You need to understand what is changing ( other peoples’ moves or the roll of the dice 

Any one can go through life, the question is how to have a good life

And in order to live or to have  a good life,  we need to: 

 

  1. Have a Routine (GREAT@ Daily Guide).

One of the most important part of education is discipline. Which comes from routine. So it is important to have some sort of a routine. It need not to be rigid nor the same for every one. 

Most education systems, be they schools, colleges, religious institutions, or even the armed forces provide a guide of some sort.  However most of these are usually rigid and require adherence to the guide as specified regardless of whether it makes sense or not. 

The fundamental difference between them  and GREAT Academy is that Education 2.0 is You-centric rather than they-centric. Here everything should make sense before you act on it.  After all it is your life, so how come they know best. Because it is best for them… 

So make sure it all makes sense as you go through the GREAT daily guide. In fact it is an option in the Vocational activities of the daily guide and it is recommended that to get the most out of the GREAT education that you take full advantage of this option.
