School then vs School now

I've been thinking about something today, besides solving for the missing angles of equilateral triangles and parallelograms, what else did I learn that I can apply in my life currently, or anything that can be applied in the real world?

I had this conversation with my sister a few days ago, and she told me that high school was supposed to teach us critical thinking. I am still trying to figure that out. I have read somewhere that the school was actually created to produce employees. By the way things are, that is definitely true. Primary school prepares you for high school, high school prepares you for college, and college prepares you for work. From work, the plan will be to labour every day for minimum wage, wait to retire at 60, and receive your pension fund. 

That's the school curriculum. That's the traditional schooling system in a nutshell. Now we have a new schooling system; the internet and AI. You can now get a job using a certificate you got online, in the comfort of your home. Life has become so easy, people don't have to think anymore, and anyone can just ChatGPT everything. AI is even acting human on our behalf, so we don't have to.

The 4IR is massive. My prediction is that in the next few years, there will be an AI tool for everything. And the line between humans and AI will be almost invisible. this is not in any way a smear campaign against  AI or the 4IR, this is just my unsolicited opinion.

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
