Information is not Knowledge - Albert Einstein

 

So, i,m preparing for a professional examination and i'm studying on a course called professional development and in this professional development is a topic called the ''five minds for the future'' by a man named Howard Gardner and  i found it too good not to share. So, here we go:

The five minds

1. The Disciplined mind: The disciplinary thinking, one should work regularly and steadily on things and eventually you get better. Any practice will definitely build up. Just master the major ways of thinking. Always strive to be an expert. Don't just settle. Learn it, master it and be an expert.
2. The synthesizing mind: What do you pay attention to and why? What do you ignore and why? If the answers you get do not make sense to you, you really have to start thinking more about what you're doing  The synthesizing mind gets information from disparate sources, understands and evaluates that information thoroughly and put it together in ways that it makes sense to the synthesizer and also to others.
3. The creating mind: This mind puts forth new ideas, poses unfamiliar questions and conjures up fresh ways of thinking.
4. The Respectful man: This mind welcomes differences between individuals and between human groups, tries to understand people  and seek to work effectively with them. Disrespect is no longer a variable option. We are all different, respect people.
5. The Ethical mind: This requires an abstract attitude. This ponders the nature of one's work and the need and desires of society in which we live. It is beyond self-interest and how citizens can work unselfishly for the lot of all.

Why did i share? thought to share because a lot of us the young people really do not care about anything. We all want to be successful but we do not want to do the work towards where we want to be. We want it like now and any way, not caring about what we gain and return. To be successful, one needs to apply these five minds, it will make you more fulfilled. And this brings me to the topic, information can never be all you need to acquire knowledge. You need more and experience to be more. Always strive to do it right.
