The secret to why kids are becoming less intelligent
Have you ever heard someone say that they feel like they were smarter as a child than they are now? It’s a common sentiment, but it turns out there might be some truth to it. In a recent video, a speaker revealed a secret that many people might not want to hear: every single day, kids go to school and become less intelligent.
You might be thinking, “How is that possible? Don’t kids learn new things in school and accumulate more knowledge?” While it’s true that school can make you more academically intelligent, teaching you subjects like physics, algebra, and calculus, it’s also diminishing children’s creative intelligence.
The speaker shares a personal story about his own experience in school. Before he turned 14, he was a kid who didn’t know what he wanted in life. He listened to his parents and did everything they asked of him, even though he wasn’t good at school. But one day, he received an invitation to a business plan competition, and that event sparked his interest in creating things.
This invitation led him to discover the importance of having a passion for creating things. He realized that he enjoyed going to competitions not just because he liked winning them, but because he had an unrealized passion for creating things. The speaker and his team would go beyond simply presenting their business ideas on PowerPoint; they would actually build prototypes and minimally viable products. This execution was what set them apart from their competitors and led them to win almost every single competition they entered.
The importance of having a passion for creating things cannot be overstated. When you have a passion for something, it fuels your drive and motivation to learn more about it and to create. As the speaker says, “No one has ever changed the world by doing what the world has told them to do.” Having a passion for something is what allows you to think outside the box, to explore new possibilities, and to become an entrepreneur.
So, why are kids becoming less intelligent every day they go to school? The answer lies in the limitations of the education system. While it can teach academic intelligence, it’s also telling children to go down a certain path in life: go to high school, get a diploma, go to a good college, find a stable job. This narrow path doesn’t allow for much creativity or innovation.
As parents, teachers, and educators, we have the power to influence and inspire youth. We need to encourage children to explore more possibilities, to become entrepreneurs, and to create. The speaker’s story is proof that you can open your own doors and create your own future.
In conclusion, the secret to why kids are becoming less intelligent every day they go to school is that the education system is limiting their creative intelligence. However, by discovering a passion for creating things and thinking outside the box, children can diverge from this conventional path and create their own future. So, let’s encourage and inspire the youth to innovate and change the world.
The role of execution in winning competitions
When it comes to winning competitions, having a great idea is just the beginning. The real key to success is execution. In a recent video, a speaker shared his personal story about how he and his team won multiple business plan competitions by executing their ideas beyond just a PowerPoint presentation.
The speaker and his team would go to Home Depot, buy supplies, and actually build prototypes and minimally viable products. This execution was what set them apart from their competitors and led them to win almost every single competition they entered.
This shows the important role of execution in winning competitions. It’s not enough to just have a good idea; you need to be able to execute that idea and bring it to life. This means taking action, making prototypes, and being willing to put in the work to make your idea a reality.
Of course, executing an idea is much easier when you have a great team behind you. Assembling a great team is the first step to building a great company. The speaker realized this early on in his journey, and he and his team worked hard to build a team that could help them execute their ideas.
As students, they couldn’t go to bars or networking events to meet potential team members, so they decided to set up a presentation at their school to attract other students who shared their passion. They sent out an invitation to their entire school, but unfortunately, almost no one showed up. Those who did show up made fun of their ideas and mocked them for being wannabe Mark Zuckerbergs.
This leads to another important lesson: overcoming ridicule and mocking to pursue your dreams. The speaker and his team didn’t let the negativity get to them; instead, they persevered and took their presentation to an elementary school. To their surprise, the response was phenomenal. The younger kids were throwing their lunch money at them and asking to buy their prototype.
This experience taught the speaker and his team an important lesson about the power of determination and the importance of not letting negative comments or feedback discourage them from pursuing their dreams.
In conclusion, execution plays a critical role in winning competitions. It’s not enough to have a great idea; you need to be able to execute that idea and bring it to life. Assembling a great team is the first step to building a great company. Finally, it’s important to not let ridicule and mocking discourage you from pursuing your dreams. With determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
The limitations of the education system in caring creative intelligence
The education system is designed to teach students academic intelligence, but what about creative intelligence? In a recent video, a speaker revealed the limitations of the education system when it comes to caring creative intelligence.
The education system teaches children to think a certain way, to go down a certain path in life: go to high school, get a diploma, go to a good college, find a stable job. While this path can lead to success, it doesn’t allow for much creativity or innovation.
The speaker shares his personal story about how he struggled in school before discovering his passion for creating things. He realized that while school can make you more academically intelligent, it’s also diminishing children’s creative intelligence. The education system is telling children to follow a certain path in life, rather than encouraging them to explore more possibilities and become entrepreneurs.
This leads to the value of exploring more possibilities and becoming an entrepreneur. As the speaker says, “No one has ever changed the world by doing what the world has told them to do.” Having a passion for something is what allows you to think outside the box, to explore new possibilities, and to create. Becoming an entrepreneur allows you to break free from the conventional path set by the education system and create your own future.
Of course, this is easier said than done. As parents, teachers, and educators, we have the power to influence and inspire youth. The power of influence and inspiration in shaping youth cannot be overstated. We need to encourage children to explore their passions, to think outside the box, and to become entrepreneurs.
The speaker’s story is proof that you can open your own doors and create your own future. His technology company, which was featured in the Wall Street Journal, is doing better than some of the companies started by Harvard or Stanford graduates. This is proof that there’s more to success than just academic intelligence.
In conclusion, the limitations of the education system in caring creative intelligence are real. While it’s important to teach academic intelligence, it’s also important to encourage children to explore their passions and become entrepreneurs. The power of influence and inspiration in shaping youth is significant, and as parents, teachers, and educators, we have the responsibility to encourage children to think outside the box and create their own future.
Diverging from conventional paths and creating your own future
The conventional path of going to school, getting good grades, going to a good college, and finding a stable job is not the only way to achieve success. In fact, diverging from this conventional path and creating your own future can lead to innovation and change in the world.
In a recent video, a speaker shared his personal story of how he discovered his passion for creating things and became an entrepreneur at the age of 16. He realized that the education system was limiting his creative intelligence and that he needed to explore more possibilities and become an entrepreneur.
This led him to innovate and change the world. His technology company was featured in the Wall Street Journal and is doing better than some of the companies started by Harvard or Stanford graduates. This shows that there’s more to success than just academic intelligence.
The ability to innovate and change the world is not limited to a select few. Anyone can do it by diverging from conventional paths and creating their own future. It’s about exploring your passions, thinking outside the box, and taking action to make your ideas a reality.
The takeaway message from the speaker’s story is this: no one has ever changed the world by doing what the world has told them to do. If you want to make a difference in the world, you need to be willing to take risks, to think outside the box, and to create your own future.
In conclusion, diverging from conventional paths and creating your own future can lead to innovation and change in the world. It’s about exploring your passions, thinking outside the box, and taking action to make your ideas a reality. The takeaway message is clear: no one has ever changed the world by doing what the world has told them to do. So, go out there, explore your passions, and create your own future.
