Our inherent mind setup are very vague: winning, show success what ever it takes. Like corruption is well accepted in SAARC nations so does almost every aspect of our lives. We have heard over hundreds of fake doctors working and gave license to kill without consequences. We think ourselves are the most smartest person on earth and very self centered.
It reminds me a proverb " eutaa biraaune saakhaa piraaune" .
I always think, can we change people's norms and values? It seems to be impossible because we are trying to get the best of the best in a very short period of time with minimizing our efforts. Very few Nepalese people have heard of Malcolm Gladwell's "1000 hours" rule.
We study to pass and get the highest score on this race many of us my not have the basic knowledge of the subject.
We were on Statistics class and moved to standard deviation and profession was saying next week we will study co-relation. One student asked a question and professor checked on his understanding one step back. Then he ask about mean and median which was not understood by the student. We saw frustration on his face because we have spent a whole month. When he asked to raise hand who is struggling to understand mean and median. The raised hands were unexpectedly high which was beyond of professor's imagination. This is us and our education culture.The very important question, is the student interested on the subject he has enrolled? Our parents , society and culture pressuring that is blended it as culture. We must be successful but our measurement of success are totally wrong like face book page.
