Education deals with the essence of what it means to be human. No undertaking is more valuable, more sacred.
Daisaku Ikeda
Knowledge in the past was like gold: it gave you power, influence and status.
Now it's like milk: if you don't use it, share it and refresh it often it will become out of date very quickly.

“You see, my dear Watson” - he propped his test-tube in the rack, and began to lecture with the air of a professor addressing his class - “it is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself.
If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one’s audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect.

The six conditions for change
all conditions need to be in place for change to occour
Potential
Do you and those in your group, team or organisation
have the ability to change?
Solutions
Are you dealing with the immediate problems?
Are you putting first things first and do you know what the problems are?
Dissonance
Change doesn't happen unless there is real belief that
change is necessary.
Creating new challenges will create new problems.
What are the problems?
Barriers
Identify and deal with the barriers.
Names need to be named.
What are the excuses?
insight
What new understand has been revealed and how are you going to act up it?
How do you engage, persuade and support others to
act with you?
consolidation and support
Own it and have breathing space to make it work.
Have a small leeway for failure.
How do you offer support to prevent it from falling back into earlier habits and negative practices?

The aim of education is not to transfer knowledge; it is to guide the learning process, to equip the learner with the methods of research. It is not the piecemeal merchandising of information; it is to enable the acquisition of the methods for learning on one’s own; it is the provision of keys to unlock the vault of knowledge.
Rather than encouraging students to appropriate the intellectual treasures uncovered by others, we should enable them to undertake on their own the process of discoveryand invention.
