GENERAL EDUCATION

which we rate things”?

B. The sentence conveys the result of being uneducated

5. What could be the message of the selection?

6. The writer discusses
A. The causes of music therapy C. the music in Biblical times
A Study made a number of years ago said the more education a man has, the less likely he is to be an inventor. Now, the reason for that
is quite simple. From the time the boy or girl starts in school, he or she is examined three or four times a year, and of course, it is very,very
disastrous if he/she fails. An inventor fails all the time and it is triumph if he succeeds once. Consequently,if education is an inhibition to
invention, it is due entirely to the form by which we rate things and not because of any intellectual differential.
I can take any group of young people any place, and teach them to be inventors, if I can get them to throw off the hazard of being afraid
to fail. You fail because your ideas are not right. You should not be afraid to fail, but you should learn to fail intelligently. By that I mean,when
you fail, find out why you failed, and each time you fail it will bring you nearer to the goal.
