Educating the Person

Education is meant to form the person in such a way that he cansee the world in a proper way, and be well positioned to make it abetter place for himself and for others. Education should make theperson a learning person, developing and equipping him with the toolsand abilities to deal with realities of the present and of the future.To educate means to teach how to think rather than what to think,to improve the mind so that the person can think for himself ratherthan loading the memory with the thoughts of other men. Educationis about laying down specifi c foundations that will help the personto have dominance and at the same time reverence for the world.The new perspective of education I suggest in this book will preparethe young person for the unpredictable future, help the person toacknowledge the power of his own mind, and how to decipher whatis good for his intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth.
