It can happen out in public placesalleyways and funny spacesunderneath and in betweenlocations where you’ve never beenbefore..It can happen on an airplaneat 30,000 feet above the groundyou’ve found the person sittingnext to you has lived the life youmight have..It can happen walking down the streetyou meet someone you haven’t seenin ages who tells youeverythingbefore the light changes..

It can happen in mid sentence whenyou interrupt the program fora messagefrom one sponsoror another.

It can happen at a partyonce I met a guy who told me howsub atomic particles romancewith partners rooms awaythat made my day..It can happen in a puban angel at the bar sharing whiskywhile a stranger tellsa history of the worldin six glasses..It can happen when you go to bedand in your head you findan alleyway at 30,000 feetwhere faster than light neutrinos aredancing the night away..And it all makes sense.

Thinking about your own learning experiences what are the pros and

cons of each?

The principal goal of education is to create men [and women] who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done - men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers.

The second goal of education is to form minds which can be critical, can verify, and not accept, everything they

are offered.Piaget

We need to learn to take risks, to challenge and above all find fun in

learning
