I was born intelligent, but education ruined me.

Thts ok buddy,but u shud also be keen to take knowledge or else your intelligence will not always make u succeed,and yes we can increase our intelligence its all your interest.e.g.Founder of Mcdonald,froma retd.clerk to food-chain magnate

today, i dont remember anything that i learnt in my schools and colleges... everything vanished the next moment after the exams completed. No Newtons laws, donno what ohms law means.. donno how human digestive system works...allergic algebras..calculus ?!?!? all learnt in physis,biology & maths... what to do..learnt everything for the sake of exams and forgot.

i'm not sure if i was born intelligent.. but for sure the education ruined me !

Education has certainly helped me channel my thought process. But in doing so, it has also narrowed my thought process and limited it to that very channel. So can't say whether it ruined me.

mate,dont limit ur education to profession or wat u learnd in collge,education is on a day-to-day basic even walking in a park in proper way is educating and learning exp

I don't know what education means to everyone here...but to me...its not just the bookish stuff we read in colleges and schools....Its much more than that..yeah if you talk about the bookish education I feel i am really ruined.because i dont see that education helping me..The word education in general means everything you know learn ..that includes learning from other people ,learning from your surroundings etc..
I feel for a rider knowing when to change the gear ,knowing about the speed he should drive..knowing the speed which he can handle , knowing about safety rules..etc etc....is also education...Education is universal ..!!!
who taught Mr. ambani the principles of managment and leadeship..he never joined any IIM ...its just that he knew..how to handle people through his experience and skill... !!!
So i feel yeah to some extent bookish knowledge is required but this in no way can guarantee succesS..!!

as biggie says this is a global issue we have to analyse EDUCATION on a global level.like cean ankur says education is a very different aspect in every society,we cant really say that education really ruins your creativity.ah yes an educational system that guides you only on mugging mugging & mugging is surely going to dampen your creativity.mr.dhirubhai ambani had never been to any IIM and thats realy true,but you cant say that MBA has got no scope!!!!!!(i know no one would say that ).so my verdict is that education (all round) never ruins your creativity and imagination.

I would like to quote Einsten's words here, He said "The true purpose of education is to train the mind think."

"Theorys or figures that can be refered in books need not be remembered"

Well, that made a Nobel lauerate.

impressive!!!but do guys in collge follow this????,m not sure 99% guys study hard to get a secure job!!

[techfreak!]

Its not about ruining anybody..but education is just required for the qualification part on the whole..what an individual gains from it is his or her personal affair..some get ruined..some find new directions!
It doesn't depend on the levels of it nor the global aspects of it..but yes good platform is anytime essential for anyone and it takes time for gaining maturity..
i guess the quote should be:: I wasn't born intelligent neither education made me one!

[sauravgoswami]

Good thought!!! if u go by impirical ways then poeple get educate for personal gains gone are the days when they get educate for knowledge
