Self-Education

It is my strongest belief that self-education is vital for the learner, because it encourages self-motivation, which is a key trait a learner should have. It also gives less trouble to teachers. If everyone educated himself well before the lesson started, the teacher would only have to correct what the students did not understand during his program of self-education, and the teacher could then expand further on the concepts and ideas the pupil has learned, allowing the student to think deeper on the subject and consequently derive the greater benefit.

(Enough of the essays.)

(And now for something completely different.)

Well, I've come back from Hong Kong. It was a nice trip. Went to CAS, GFS, TST Fire Station, lots of other places. I have learned much.

Yesterday during YM, we touched on this topic of "Freedom is questionable". My goodness, this is Philosophy in Church. There could be nothing more fun. Argument, debate, logic, reason, and counter-argument.

What is freedom?

Within our worldly confines, there is none. We just move from one prison to another.

So is freedom attainable? Is it real?

Yes it is. But not worldly freedom.

The greatest freedom is the only freedom.
