Smart Kids Are The Ones That Will Rule The World

Smart Kids Are The Ones That Will Rule The World

Almost everyone will agree that Smart Kids Are The Ones That Will Rule The World. Sooo, if most of us agree with that statement, then why the hell are we not focused on making kids smarter? 

Let's take a step back. Too many people believe that intelligence is a "born" trait. They believe that if a kid is intelligent, he or she must have been born with DNA that is superior to the average kid. Their belief is not true.

Yes, some kids are more left brained and therefore better at math. Yes, some kids are more right brained and better at creativity. And some kid's brains fire on both the left and right. However, a brain that has these traits is nothing but a blank slate.

Albert Einstein's brain had these traits, but he did not just wake up one day and write E=MC squared. Einstein, had people who encouraged him to learn math. Einstein, spent many, many years reading and talking to the great mathematicians, physicists and the great philosophers. It was through hard work that he became the icon of the solar system.

Was he smart - you bet? But his smarts did not just come from a good brain. His smarts came from using his brain through trial and error to create the physics of space travel. Today, scientists, using Einstein's work are learning more and more and someday in the far future, will find new math that will exceed what Einstein gave us. 

Sooo, if we want Smart Kids To Will Rule The World, we have to develop Smart Kids and give them a reason to work hard. Today, we have the haves and have-nots. There is so much brain power in the have-nots that we are not taking advantage of. 

What that means to me, is that only the kids that have wealthy parents can get a great education. What that means to me, is that only kids that are raised with a work ethic, have a chance to Rule The World. What that means to me is that all the other kids (even though they might be bright) will be slaves to the ones that will Rule The World. We must not let that happen. 

Everyone deserves a great education. We need to pay the best teachers and the "would be" teachers so that it's worth their time to teach even if it's not in a great neighborhood. The government has to take money from going to Mars to give every college student free tuition so they can become the people that will take us to the planets, cure diseases, create the computers that will make life on this planet better, etc., etc., etc.

Lastly, we must invest in educating parents on the reasons to help their kids to succeed. We must give benefits to those parents who do a good job. We must help those parents who want to do a good job, but don't have the means or the education to do so.

I Guess We Can Let Only The Privileged Rule The World, But That's Not A World I Want To Live In.
