When I went to school I did not learn anything much which I now remember, except for this hidden message: "Every major problem in life has already been solved, and you don't yet know the answers. The answers are in the teacher’s head, or in her textbook, and the aim of education is to transfer the answers from the teacher to you, by one means or another."
That hidden message from my school, I began to realise, was not only crippling, it was wrong.
The world, or most of it, is an empty space waiting to be filled. That realisation changed my life. I did not have to wait and watch for the answers to be fed to me. I could jump into the space myself.
It is way more exciting to know that you are creating a world, than to feel you are merely replicating it.
