"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
A
glimpse of the Discussion Forum
Discussion
Forums strengthen collaboration in Teams. NCM inaugurated its first Discussion
Forum on Friday 16th July, 2021 in the presence of Dr. P H Shah Sir,
Dr. Trupti Almoula Madam and all Faculties.
Dr.
Shah started the session by expressing his views on purpose of Education. He
referred to Albert Einstein’s quote on Education “Education is not the learning
of facts, but the training of minds to think”. In spite of 12 to 16 years of
formal education people lack the ability to think critically and solve
problems.
There
have been great thinkers in history like Isaac Newton, Gautama Buddha, Osho,
Prophet Muhammad, Jesus Christ etc. One thing they have in common is the
willingness to question the workings of their own mind and the world around
them. They had a passion for thought and a conviction that their ideas must be
shared. Others have just blindly followed them.
So
the discussion theme for the day was Free thinking and Open mindedness. It was an
exercise where each participant had to think upon if he/she was a free thinker?
If he/she was an open minded person? And what prevented him/her to be an open
minded person?
Each
one reflected and expressed their opinions. It was a good opportunity to
evaluate one’s self.
The
Discussion Forum next meets on 23rd July, 2021, and the discussion
would be on Emotional and Rational Thinking.
