You Need your Brainwashed!!!

Put your finger over your lips!
Be quiet!
Walk in a straight line!
Sit down!
Its lunch time so EAT!..."But I'm not hungry!"
                                                "Eat anyways!"
Raise your hand!
Color inside the lines!

Here's my point. Since a very young age we've been taught to just FOLLOW ORDERS.
Now I do understand order and structure.

BUT!
Has order been so jammed down our throat, that we don't have room left to indulge in our creativity?
For most people this is true.
Its said that the American school system came from an idea of the ancient Prussians. Who felt they lost a war due to their soldiers being free thinkers and not FOLLOWING ORDERS.
Iiiiinnnnteresstting!!!
Here's a great quote from a Forbes article on the American school system. "America’s last competitive advantage — its ability to innovate — is at risk as a result of the country’s lackluster education system," according to research by Harvard Innovation Education Fellow Tony Wagner.

This article goes on to expound on the fact that the drive and ability to do creative thinking and innovate. Is being drowned in basic and for the most part useless information.

You're being taught to repeat, what they want you to repeat.
For example: What did Christopher Columbus discover?

The truth is NOTHING. He never reached America. And how could you possibly "discover" a place where people already live? You cant! Its like me coming into your house and say, I "discovered" your kitchen. Lol

Now if the test question was the one above. And a smart kid gave the true answer. That question will be marked WRONG on the test. Not because it was false. But because they didn't say what was taught. Sounds like the classical art of conditioning,

Pavlov made a great observation. Dogs can be trained to know when its time to eat by just using bells consistently at a certain time every day. After awhile the dogs began to salivate at the sound of the bell even if there was no food.

Through school we've been trained by the bell. 

Ding! First period....Ding! Second period... Ding! Lunch...etc as we grow older the school bell turns into an alarm clock. 

Ding! Wake up...Ding! Time for traffic...Ding!!! The job I hate starts...Ding! take a break...Ding! Get back to work.

Has our creativity been smothered? Is the true you being covered in an attempt to have the masses of people to (Ding!) "just follow orders?"

Now here's my take on things.
Yes have order. Have discipline. Have structure.
BUT!
Be WILDLY creative, joyful, full of love for what you do.
Color outside the lines for Peetsake. Have the courage to challenge the path you've been told and hypnotized to take.

You need your brainwashed!!!! Lol! This time, in the water (philosophies) of your choosing.

WAKE UP!!!
You ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE! You know that right? You WILL die one day. You know that right? And what you do now...in this life. Echoes in eternity. You know that right?!?!

Remember that next time you put bills before your dreams. We all have them. We all have troubles. But Champions take the same reasons that peons (someone of low rank) use to quit. To go and WIN ANYWAYS!

Thank you for reading. I hope it helped in some way. Do me a favor and like and share this just one time. You never know who will need this.

Sincerely,

The Inspovator
